In the Trip Computer, Alarms section, there is a "Driver Alert Period" which can be set for Off, 0.5 hr, 1hr, etc. I can't figure out what this is and the manual doesn't help. Can anyone explain this setting?

Yes, it's actually pretty comical. I believe you are referring to the "cup of coffee" alert. It is designed to get the driver's attention by sounding off and displaying a cup of coffee icon when the car has been driven for a time period exceeding the preset limit. Like you're going to drive a car with quite limited range for enough hours to get drowsy. Comical, right?

I see why they didn't waste to many words in the manual on it! They don't show a cup-of-coffee icon in the list of indicators though. I'll have to try it when I am driving at least a 1/2 hr and see what happens.
