Driver Attention Alert (DAA)
Driver Attention Alert (DAA) (Some Models)
The DAA is a system that detects the driver fatigue and decreased attentiveness based on various types of vehicle information, and encourages the driver to take a rest using a screen display and warning sound.
Warnings and Cautions for Using the Driver Attention Alert (DAA)
Do not rely completely on the DAA.
The DAA does not prevent driver fatigue or decreased attentiveness 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 fatigue or decreased attentiveness depending on the road and driving conditions. The driver must take sufficient rest in consideration of safe driving.
