The Driver Monitoring system monitors the driver’s attention to the road ahead with a driver facing camera located on the steering column. The system is for a head position and direction, eye opening and eye direction. If the system does not detect driver’s attention on the road, the system uses a set of audible and visual warnings to draw driver’s attention back forward.

If the driver’s face is below the camera’s detection range (A), the driver monitor may not work properly. Adjust your face position so that the camera can detect your entire face, by lowering the steering column or raising the seat position, for example. (See
