Driver Monitoring (DM)*
▼Driver Monitoring (DM)
The DM is a system which detects
driver fatigue and sleepiness, and
encourages the driver to take a rest.
While driving the vehicle at about 5
km/h (3 mph) or faster, the DM
detects changes in the driver's facial
features using the driver monitoring
camera. The system then estimates the
amount of accumulated fatigue and
sleepiness of the driver and encourages
the driver to take a rest using a warning
indication in the instrument cluster and
a warning sound.
Two types of warning indication
patterns are set for notifying the driver
based on the estimated amount of
accumulated fatigue and sleepiness of
the driver.
Fatigue and sleepiness are detected:

WARNING
Do not rely completely on the DM
and always drive carefully:
The DM is a system which detects
driver fatigue and sleepiness, and
encourages the driver to take a rest.
This is not designed to prevent driver
fatigue and sleepiness, and
over-reliance on the system could lead
to an accident. Drive carefully and turn
the steering wheel appropriately.
In addition, the system may not be
able to detect driver fatigue and
sleepiness correctly depending on the
traffic and driving conditions. The
driver must take sufficient rest in order
to drive safely.
Operation conditions
The DM begins monitoring after 20
minutes have passed since the driver
began driving the vehicle and when
the vehicle speed is about 5 km/h (3
mph) or faster.
NOTE
If the vehicle speed decreases to less
than about 5 km/h (3 mph) while
the DM is monitoring, the DM stops
monitoring for 6 minutes even if the
vehicle speed returns to about 5
km/h (3 mph) or faster.
If the driver monitoring camera does
not recognize the driver correctly, the
DM may not monitor correctly.
Refer to Driver Monitoring Camera
on page 4-207.
After the DM has displayed the first
message encouraging the driver to
take a rest, it does not display it
again during the following periods.
After displaying the warning
pattern (caution), the next warning
pattern (caution) is not displayed
until 45 minutes have passed.
After displaying the warning
pattern (warning), the next
warning pattern (warning) is not

the radiator grille and front emblem
in and around the front radar sensor,
and do not replace the radiator grille
and front emblem with any product
that is not a genuine product
designed for use with the front radar
sensor.
 The front radar sensor includes a
function for detecting soiling of the
radar sensor's front surface and
informing the driver, however,
depending on the conditions, it may
require time to detect or it may not
detect plastic shopping bags, ice or
snow. If this occurs, the system may
not operate correctly, therefore
always keep the front radar sensor
clean.
 Do not install a grille guard.
 If the front part of the vehicle has
been damaged in a vehicle accident,
the position of the front radar sensor
may have moved. Stop the system
immediately and always have the
vehicle inspected at an Authorized
