Activating DAC

Press MY CAR in the center instrument panel and go to Car settings Driver Alert and select On. See page 133 for more information on the menu system.

The function is activated when the vehicle exceeds a speed of 40 mph (65 km/h). The display will show level markings of 1–5 bars, where a low number of bars indicates erratic driving. A high number of bars indicates stable driving. If the vehicle is being driven erratically, the driver will be alerted by an audible signal and the message Driver Alert, Time for a break is displayed. The warning will be repeated after a short time if the driving pattern remains the same.

WARNING

• An alert should be taken seriously since it is sometimes difficult for a driver to realize that he/she is fatigued.
• In the event of a warning or if the driver feels fatigued, stop as soon as possible in a safe place and rest.
