This morning for the first time since I received my Ranger mid 2016, it warned me that I am fatigued and should take a break lol. This happened on a straight stretch of freeway about halfway into my 18 minute trip to work at around 08:00, I was certainly not drowsy or sleepy, and I doubt that I wander left and right in my lane but the system must have detected that I did. I just found it strange that it thought I needed a break now given that when I just got the car I frequently played with / tested the lane detection and steering correction features and it never thought I was fatigued then.
2019 Wildtrak, White. Pretty much standard apart from tinting and bonnet protector.

I've had it go off on a long drive a couple of times. Yep, I took a break. Seems to work okay... I'm not entirely sure what the triggering criteria was. It wasn't asleep and weaving though, it was something more subtle.
