Opel Corsa: Driver alert / Driver drowsiness detection

Opel Corsa 2020-2022 Owners Manual / Driving and operating / System limitations / Driver alert / Driver drowsiness detection

The system monitors the driver's level of vigilance at speeds above 65 km/h. A camera at the top of the windscreen detects variations in trajectory compared to the lane markings.

If the trajectory of the vehicle suggests a certain level of drowsiness or inattention by the driver, the system triggers the first level of alert. The driver is notified by a message and an audible signal is given.

After three first level alerts, the system triggers a new alert with a message, accompanied by a more pronounced audible signal.
