Driver Attention Alert (Some Models)

The Driver Attention Alert is a system which detects driver fatigue and decreased attentiveness, and encourages the driver to take a rest.

When the vehicle is driven inside traffic lane lines at about 65 to 140 km/h (41 to 86 mph), the Driver Attention Alert estimates the amount of accumulated fatigue and decreased attentiveness of the driver based on the information from the forward sensing camera (FSC) and other vehicle information, and encourages the driver to take a rest using an indication on the multi-information display and a warning sound.

Use the Driver Attention Alert on expressways or highways.

Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) (Search).

 

Do not rely completely on Driver Attention Alert and always drive carefully:

The Driver Attention Alert detects driver fatigue and decreased attentiveness and encourages the driver to take a rest, however, it is not designed to prevent the vehicle from straying. If you rely too much on the Driver Attention Alert it could lead to an accident. Drive carefully and operate the steering wheel appropriately.

In addition, the system may not be able to detect driver fatigue and decreased attentiveness correctly depending on the traffic and driving conditions. The driver must take sufficient rest in consideration of safer driving.
