Driver Monitoring (DM)
Driver Monitoring (DM) (Some Models)
The DM is a system that detects dangerous conditions and behavior of the driver and notifies the driver of possible danger.
The DM has two detection functions.
Drowsiness detection function
The drowsiness detection function detects the level of driver drowsiness. When the driver drowsiness is detected, the screen display and warning sound encourage the driver to take a rest.
There are 2 levels of screen display and warning sound.
Warning pattern (caution)
When driver drowsiness is detected, taking a rest is encouraged.
Warning pattern (warning)
If a higher level of driver drowsiness is detected, taking a rest is encouraged.
Inattentive driving detection function
The inattentive driving detection function detects that the driver is not paying attention to the road. When the system detects that the driver is not paying attention to the road, it alerts the driver with a screen display and a warning sound.
Warnings and Cautions for Using the Driver Monitoring (DM)
Do not rely completely on the DM.
The DM does not prevent driver drowsiness or inattentive driving 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 correctly detect driver drowsiness or inattentive driving depending on the road and driving conditions. The driver must take sufficient rest in consideration of safe driving.
