Wake up, sleepyhead! These are not words you want to hear from a passenger when you are behind the wheel of a car. But being tired at the wheel is not a new phenomenon. It’s incredibly dangerous to you, your passengers, other motorists, and pedestrians to drive while you are tired.

That’s where the Volkswagen Driver Alert System comes in. It helps to alert you to unsafe driving maneuvers that typically occur when a driver isn’t focused on the road or when it believes you need a break on a long journey. The system monitors your behavior, how long you’ve been driving, and traffic signals on the road. A visual and audible noise will alert you every 15 minutes until you do take a driving break.

For more information on this potentially lifesaving feature, come into King Volkswagen and we will show you the models that it’s available on.
