Opel Corsa: Driver alert / Driver drowsiness detection

Opel Corsa 2020-2026 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.

In certain driving conditions (poor road surface or strong winds), the system may give alerts independent of the driver's level of vigilance.

The driver drowsiness detection is reinitialised when the ignition has been switched off for a few minutes or the speed remains below 65 km/h for a few minutes.
