WARNING
The intelligent technology used in the Driver Alert System cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. Do not let the extra convenience afforded by the
Driver Alert System tempt you into taking any risks when driving. During a long trip, plan regular and
sufficient breaks.
The driver is responsible at all times for their fitness to drive.
Never drive a vehicle when you are tired.
The system cannot always detect the driver's level of alertness. Observe the information in the
Function limitations section.
In certain situations, the system may wrongly interpret intentional driving manoeuvres as a lack of
alertness from the driver.
No urgent warning will be given in the event of the phenomenon known as microsleep.
Observe the information in the instrument cluster display and act according to the commands.

The Driver Alert System has been developed for use only while driving on motorways and good
roads.

If there is a system fault, go to a qualified workshop and have the system checked.
