Honda CR-V: Driver Information Interface / Driver Attention Monitor

The Driver Attention Monitor analyzes steering inputs to determine if the vehicle is being driven in a manner consistent with drowsy or inattentive driving. If it determines that the vehicle is being driven in such a manner, it will display the degree of the driver's attention in the Driver Information Interface.

When the (display/information) button is pressed, bars in the Driver Information Interface light up in white to indicate the degree of the driver's attention.

The Driver Attention Monitor cannot always detect if the driver is tired or inattentive.

Regardless of the system's feedback, if you are feeling tired, stop in a safe location and rest for as long as needed.

If two bars light up, the Driver Attention Level Low message will appear.

If one bar lights up, the Driver Attention Level Low. Time For A Break message will appear, a beep will sound, and the steering wheel will vibrate.

If this message appears, stop in a safe location and rest for as long as needed.

The message will disappear when the ENTER button is pressed or when the system has determined that the driver is driving normally.

If the driver does not take a break and the monitor continues to detect that the driver is very tired, the message will appear again after approximately 15 minutes, accompanied by a beep and steering wheel vibrations.

The message does not appear when the traveling time is 30 minutes or less.

The Driver Attention Monitor resets when
