Driver Alert Control limitations
Driver Alert Control (DAC) functionality may be reduced in certain situations.
In certain situations, the system may provide a warning even if it has not detected a change in driving behavior, e.g.:
- in strong crosswinds
- on grooved road surfaces.
Warning
In certain cases, driving behavior might not be affected despite the driver's fatigue – when using the Pilot Assist function – resulting in the driver not getting a warning from DAC.
It is therefore very important to always stop and take a break at the slightest sign of fatigue, regardless of whether the DAC function has issued a warning or not.
Note
The function uses the vehicle's camera unit, which has some general limitations – see the section "Camera unit limitations".
