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

tra

c and driving conditions. The

driver must take su

cient 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 4-214.
