The driver attention level in Acura vehicles is monitored by a feature called the Driver Attention Monitor. This feature helps drivers recognize when their attention to the road is becoming diminished, enhancing their awareness. The Driver Attention Monitor continually monitors and assesses driver behavior behind the wheel to determine if the driver is becoming inattentive. It uses input from the Electric Power Steering (EPS) to measure both the frequency and intensity of steering-wheel corrections made by the driver. The level of driver attention is displayed on the vehicle’s screen using a coffee cup icon with a bar graph. The graph indicates the level of attention, with four illuminated bars representing full attention. As the driver’s attention drops, fewer bars are illuminated. When the number of bars drops to two, a message inviting the driver to take a break is displayed. If the driver continues driving and the graph drops to the lowest level of one bar, a beeper sounds and the steering wheel vibrates, prompting the driver to pay closer attention or take a rest break.
Please note that the specific details and customization options of the Driver Attention Monitor may vary depending on the Acura model and year. It is recommended to refer to the vehicle’s manual or consult an authorized Acura dealer for more information on the specific driver attention features of a particular Acura model.
