VW Driver alert

[TEXTILE GUY]

Disconnecting the battery in a modern car is NOT something you just do without first reading the manual. Now if OP read his manual then he would have known what the indicator meant in the first place. making all this debate academic.

I had an idea, just thought others that has seen in working might know better. I might still take out the manual this weekend to which sensors it uses.

Good points - then maybe pop past a VW dealership and have a quick chat to the guys.

Ok, so it actually does work. Which vehicle do you have? I just thought that it has been ticked for almost 2 years and just wondered if it actually does anything.

2015 VW CC TDi DSG. That was the first and only time it ever came on - Never drove tired again

I can believe that would be an eye opener.

This thing has been ticked off in my car for the last 45k km, but I have no idea what it is or how it works, or even if it works. Does anybody here have any idea what this is?

Call a dealer ask whats up? That might be the easiest solution.

You're looking for the economy tips, not driver aid.

So apparently this feature works like a bomb. Friday night just before midnight, and after 3 days with little to no sleep, I come home from the southern suburbs. On the N1 just before the Engen garage, just at the point where my head tips forward car lets out a very loud warning tone, dash board back lights goes brighter and it flashes a warning, driver alert: take a break, with a picture of a coffee cup. I almost shat myself when I realized I actually fell asleep for a brief moment. With wife and kids in the car.

Not my finest moment.
