Additional information and warnings:

Infotainment system

Accessories, modifications, repairs and renewal of parts (information stored in the control units)

WARNING

Do not let the extra convenience afforded by the Driver Alert System tempt you into taking any risks when driving – this can cause accidents. 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 section Function limitations .

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.

Follow the information in the instrument cluster display and respond according to the commands.

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

If there is a system fault, proceed to a qualified workshop immediately to have the system checked.
