Display of the driver's attention level

    - Select 'User Settings Mode' and then 'Driver Assistance' on the LCD display. (For more information, refer to the “LCD Display” section in Chapter 4.)
  • The driver's attention level is displayed on a scale of 1 to 5. The lower the number is, the more inattentive the driver is.
  • The number decreases when the driver does not take a break for a certain period of time.
  • The number increases when the driver attentively drives for a certain period of time.
  • When the driver turns on the system while driving, it displays ‘Last Break time’ and level reflected that.

Take a break

  • The “Consider taking a break” message appears on the LCD display and a warning sounds in order to suggest that the driver take a break when the driver's attention level is below 1.
  • The Driver Attention Warning system will not suggest a break when the total driving time is shorter than 10 minutes.

    The Driver Attention Warning (DAW) system is designed to warn the driver of potentially hazardous driving situations if it detects inattentive driving practices.

    Resetting the system The last break time is set to 00:00 and the driver's attention level is set to 5 (very attentive) when the driver resets the Driver Attention Warning system.
