Fatigue detection system
Depending on version, the "Driving time warning  system"  may  be  combined  with  the Â
"
Fatigue  detection  system".
Using
 a  camera  placed  at  the  top  of  the Â
w
indscreen,  the  system  assesses  the  driver's Â
l
evel  of  vigilance  by  identifying  variations  in Â
t
rajectory  compared  to  the  lane  markings.
This
 system  is  particularly  suited  to  fast  roads Â
(
speed  higher  than  40  mph  (65  km/h)).Once
 the  system  considers  that  the  behaviour  o
f  the  vehicle  suggests  a  certain  level  of  fatigue Â
o
r  inattention  by  the  driver,  it  triggers  the  first Â
l
evel  of  alert.
The
 driver  is  then  alerted  by  the  message Â
"Ta
k e c a r e !",
 accompanied  by  an  audible Â
s
ignal.
After
 three  first  level  alerts,  the  system  triggers Â
a
 new  alert  with  the  message  "Take a break! ",
accompanied
 by  a  more  pronounced  audible Â
s
ignal. In
 certain  driving  conditions  (poor  road Â
s
ur face  or  strong  winds),  the  system Â
m
ay  give  alerts  independent  of  the Â
d
river's  level  of  vigilance.
The  following  situations  may  inter fere Â
