Repeated “Driver fatigue monitoring camera blocked” warning in MGS5 ev

[deetha54]

Hi everyone… Have been driving the new MGS5 ev since last 4 months. Recently have been noticing an alert saying “ Caution- driver fatigue monitoring - camera blocked” when the camera is not at all blocked….. Has anyone else experienced the same and can anyone suggest what can be done for this?

I found it best to just disable this all together.

Ditto.
I disabled this the day I got the car and it has never been used since.

Yes if it can't detect a face it pops the message up. This can be caused by something as basic as the sun shining on your face blowing the cameras image out making your face undetectable. It's best to just disable the feature.
