Hyundai Elantra: Driver Attention Warning (DAW) / System operation

Basic function

System display and warning

The basic function of Driver Attention Warning is to inform the driver of their ‘Attention Level’ and to warn the driver to ‘Consider taking a break’.

Attention level

• The driver can monitor his/her driving conditions on the cluster.

-- When the ‘Inattentive Driving Warning’ is deselected from the Settings menu, ‘System Off’ is displayed.
-- The function will operate when vehicle speed is between 0~110 mph (0~180 km/h).
-- When vehicle speed is not within the operating speed, the message ‘Standby’ will be displayed.

• The driver’s attention level is displayed on the scale of 1 to 5. The lower the level is, the more inattentive the driver is.
• The level decreases when the driver does not take a break for a certain period of time.

Taking a break

• The ‘Consider taking a break’ message will appear on the cluster and an audible warning will sound to suggest that the driver take a break, when the driver’s attention level is below 1.
• Driver Attention Warning will not suggest a break when the total driving time is shorter than 10 minutes or 10 minutes has not passed after the last break was suggested.

WARNING

For your safety, change the Settings after parking the vehicle at a safe location.

CAUTION

• Driver Attention Warning may suggest a break depending on the driver’s driving pattern or habits, even if the driver doesn’t feel fatigued.
• Driver Attention Warning is a supplemental system and may not be able to determine whether the driver is inattentive.
• The driver who feels fatigued should take a break at a safe location, even though there is no break suggestion by Driver Attention Warning.
