The yellow position indicates the first warning is active and the red position indicates the second warning is active. Note: If you have recently received a warning, you should consider resting, even if the current assessment is within the typical range. Note: If the camera sensor cannot track the road lane markings, or if your vehicle speed drops below approximately 40 mph (64 km/h), the alertness level changes to grey for a short time and the information display informs you that the system is unavailable. Resetting the System You can reset the system by either: • Switching the ignition off and on. • Stopping the vehicle and then opening and closing the driver’s door.

When active, the system monitors your alertness level based upon your driving behavior in relation to the lane markings and other factors. System Warnings Note: The system does not issue warnings below approximately 40 mph (64 km/h). The warning system has two stages. First, the system issues a temporary warning that you need to take a rest. This message only appears for a short time. If the system detects further reduction in driving alertness, it may issue another warning that remains in the information display for a longer time. You can press OK on the steering wheel control to clear the warning. System Display When active, the system runs automatically in the background and only issues a warning if required. You can view the status at any time using the information display. See General Information (page 111). The alertness level is shown by six steps in a colored bar.
