Introduction

Fig. 1 Driver Alert System symbol on the instrument cluster display.

The Driver Alert System tells you if your driving behavior suggests that you are tired.

At the beginning of your journey, the Driver Alert System observes your driving behavior and uses this observation to assess how tired you are. It continually compares its initial assessment with your current driving behavior. If the system detects that you are tired, it issues an audible warning, as well as visually alerting you by displaying a symbol and accompanying message on the instrument cluster display → fig. 1. The message will remain on the instrument cluster display for approximately five seconds, and will be repeated once if necessary. The system saves the message that was most recently issued.

When is it active?

Your driving behavior will only be evaluated when you are traveling at speeds of more than approximately 60 km/h (approximately 37 mph), up to approximately 200 km/h (approximately 125 mph).

WARNING

The Driver Alert System is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations.

This means that the Driver Alert System cannot detect tiredness in the driver in all situations, and may not react, may react late or may react in a way that is undesired. There is a risk of accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

• Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. It is always your responsibility to make sure that you are fit to drive.
• Observe the system limitations.
• Never drive a vehicle when tired.
• On longer journeys, take regular breaks and make sure that you feel adequately rested before setting off again.
• Pay attention to indicators in the instrument cluster display and respond to the prompts accordingly.

The Driver Alert System is designed exclusively for driving on highways and good road surfaces.

In the event of a malfunction, have the system checked by suitably qualified professionals. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
