WARNING

Do not rely completely on the DM and
always drive carefully.

The DM is a system which detects driver
fatigue and sleepiness, and encourages the
driver to take a rest. This is not designed to
prevent driver fatigue and sleepiness, and
over-reliance on the system could lead to
an accident. Drive carefully and turn the
steering wheel appropriately.
In addition, the system may not be able to
detect driver fatigue and sleepiness
correctly depending on the traffic and
driving conditions. The driver must take
sufficient rest in order to drive safely.

Operation conditions

The DM begins monitoring after 20
minutes have passed since the driver
began driving the vehicle and when the
vehicle speed is about 5 km/h (3 mph) or
faster.

NOTE



If the vehicle speed decreases to less
than about 5 km/h (3 mph) while the DM
is monitoring, the DM stops monitoring
for 6 minutes even if the vehicle speed
returns to about 5 km/h (3 mph) or
faster.



If the driver monitoring camera does not
recognize the driver correctly, the DM
may not monitor correctly.
Refer to Driver Monitoring Camera on
page 4-209.
