Abstract:
A vehicle driver warning device includes:
a steering angle sensor (SAS) producing steering signals representative of a real time angle of rotation of a steering column (RTARSC),
a control unit receiving said signals and generating a timer activation signal (TAS) when an absolute value of the RTARSC is equal to a maximum value and a timer deactivation signal (TDS) when the absolute value is less than the maximum value after being equal to the maximum value,
a timer receiving the TAS and starting a preset period of time countdown and interrupting said countdown if the TDS is received before the countdown ends,
an alarm module generating an alarm perceptible to the driver upon receiving an alarm activation signal (AAS),
wherein the control unit generates and communicates the AAS to the alarm module at the end of the preset period of time if the countdown has not been interrupted.
