the Driver Fatigue Alert is &#8220;designed to notify drivers who appear to be drowsy by monitoring the driver&#8217;s facial features, as well as driving behavior to determine indicative patterns of drowsiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When drowsiness is detected in the driver, an alert<\/strong> <strong>is displayed<\/strong> on the touchscreen in the card area, and an alert sound is emitted.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The manual states that the &#8220;Driver Fatigue Alert system is activated at speeds above 65 km\/h when driving for a minimum of 10 minutes, and Autopilot is not engaged.&#8221;
