Driver Attention Warning by
Camera


The system assesses the driver's level of
alertness, fatigue and distraction by
identifying trajectory changes in relation to the
lane markings.
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on
the upper part of the windscreen.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 43 mph (70 km/h)).
At a first alert level, the driver is warned by the
message "Caution!", accompanied by an audible
signal.
After three first-level alerts, the system triggers
a further alert with the message "Driving at
risk: Take a break", accompanied by a more
pronounced audible signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
surface or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's level of
vigilance.
The following situations may interfere
with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
–

lane markings ab
sent, worn, hidden (snow,
mud) or multiple (roadworks);
–

clo
se to the vehicle ahead (lane markings
not detected);
–

roads tha
t are narrow, winding, etc.
DS DRIVER ATTENTION
MONITORING
(Depending on version)

An additional (infrared) camera is fitted to
the steering column, behind the steering
wheel, to monitor driver behaviour.
The camera analyses, firstly, the direction of the
driver's gaze and head to assess their distraction
level and, secondly, the closing of their eyelids to
assess the level of their vigilance and attention.
When the vigilance level (distraction or loss of
attention) is low, the system emits an alert.
With the "Personal" display mode of the digital
instrument panel, the driver can select the
permanent display of the "Level of vigilance"
diagram, which enables them to monitor this
information in real time.
The system is activated at speeds above
16 mph (25 km/h).
The following situations may interfere
with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
–

s

ystem’s camera field of vision blocked or
obstructed.
–

w

earing certain types of spectacles or
sunglasses that are very dark or reflective.
–

fac
e partially obscured (e.g. by a hand, by
hair).
–

unusual or inc
orrect driving position.
Under no circumstances shall the
Manufacturer be held liable in the event of
alerts not being given or for the consequences
of using this system.
