The vehicle analyzes your driving behavior and can detect signs of fatigue. If the vehicle identifies signs of reduced driver focus, it will notify you in the driver information area and with a sound.
The vehicle uses sensor tracking of your face and eye movements to assess your focus when driving. This allows the vehicle to determine where you are directing your attention and to detect signs of tiredness.
Driver alert notifications can be turned off in settings. This does not disable the systems that monitor your driving, as they are used by other features.
Warning
The importance of a well-rested driver
Take any notifications about signs of driver tiredness seriously, as a tired driver is often unaware of their condition. If you feel tired or get an alert about it from the vehicle, stop as soon as possible in a suitable location for a rest. Always plan for regular breaks and start all trips with a well-rested driver.
Driving while tired is comparable to driving under the influence of alcohol.
Conditions and limitations
- Attention tracking requires an unobscured view of the driver's face.
- Improperly stowed items can obscure the view of the driver, as can dust and dirt on the sensor. Keep the driver's space clean and clutter-free.
- Wearing certain clothing and accessories can obstruct parts of the driver's face that need to be visible for attention tracking, such as the eyes.
Important
Driver responsibility
Alerts about poor focus when driving are a supplement to safe driving practices. The driver is fully responsible for making sure they are able to stay alert and maintain focus when driving.
