Other information:
While driving, the Driver Monitoring System
monitors possible cases of driver
inattention or drowsiness and warns the
driver.
When the inattentive/drowsy driving warning
activates, the buzzer sounds and an
interrupt display appears.
NOTE
The inattentive/drowsy driving warning
operates regardless of the status of
the user recognition function...
This light blinks if the vehicle is driven with
tires of differing diameters fitted on the
wheels or with an excessively low air
pressure in any of the tires.
WARNING
If the AWD warning light flashes,
promptly park in a safe location then
check whether all four tires are the
same diameter and whether any of
the tires has a puncture or has lost
air pressure for some other reason...
