DRIVER ATTENTION WARNING (DAW)*

Driver Attention Warning is designed to monitor the driver’s driving pattern. If DAW detects that the driver’s attention level becomes low, DAW is designed to display a message on the Instrument Cluster, “Consider taking a break,” and a warning sounds to recommend the driver take a break.If the vehicle is stopped, and Leading Vehicle Departure Alert (LVDA) is enabled, when a detected vehicle in front starts to depart, LVDA can inform the driver sounding an alert and displaying a message on the Instrument Cluster.

Reminders:

  • When activated, DAW does not display “Consider taking a break” message when the total trip driving time is less than 10 minutes
  • DAW will enter a standby mode if the camera does not detect the lanes and/or the
    driving speed remains under 40 mph
  • Some driver assistance systems use a Haptic Warning, which alerts the driver
    by gently pulsing the steering wheel when certain conditions are detected
DAW Settings:

When engaged, Driver Attention Warning is not a substitute for safe driving and may not detect all instances of inattentive driving practices. Failure to pay attention to travel conditions and vehicle operation could result in loss of vehicle control. Always drive safely and use caution.
