The fatigue detection system has only been
designed for driving on highways and roads in
good condition.

In the event of a fault, have the system
checked by a qualified specialist workshop.
Volkswagen recommends a Volkswagen dealer.
The fatigue detection system informs the driver
when it deduces that he is tired from his
behavior at the wheel.
Limitations of the fatigue detection system
The fatigue detection system records the driver's
driving behavior at the start of a journey and, based
Please note on
page 36.
,at the beginning of this chapter,
on this, performs an assessment of fatigue. This is
continually compared with current driving behaviour.
If the system detects driver fatigue, it reports this
acoustically as well as visually with a symbol and a
supplementary message on the instrument panel
display ÿ fig. 24. The instrument cluster display
warning is displayed for approx. 5 seconds and, if
necessary, is displayed a second time. The system
saves the last notice that occurred.
The fatigue detection system is subject to certain
system limitations. The following conditions may
cause the system to function in a limited way or not
at all:
— speeds less than 60 km/h (37 mph) approx. —
speeds greater than 200 km/h (125 mph)
approx.
Funcionament condition
— sections with curves
Driving behavior is only assessed at speeds between
approx. 60 km/h (37 mph) and 200 km/h (125 mph).

— adverse weather conditions — driving
in a sporty style — driving with heavy or
long trailers ÿ p. 293 — severe driver distraction

mirror and informs you of speed limits and overtaking
prohibitions that it recognizes. Within its limitations, the
system also displays additional signals, such as temporary
prohibitions or limitations that are only valid in case of rain.
Even on routes without signs, the system can display, if
necessary, the applicable speed limits.

In Germany, on highways and motorways, in addition to speed
limits and overtaking bans, the system displays the end of ban
signs. In all other countries where the system works, the currently
valid speed limit will be displayed instead.
