At least one sensor (3-1, 3-2, fig 3) is used to monitor a driver, D, to identify a driver distracted state, preferably when the driver is looking at a vehicle system for a predetermined time period and/or frequency. One or more functions of a first vehicle system, A7, A9, A17, are inhibited when the driver distracted state is identified. A virtual projection representative of the line of sight of the driver may be used to determine where the driver is looking. A method and apparatus for controlling the output of a visual notification in a display region proximal to or coincident with an area where the driver is looking, based on identification of the driver distracted state within the vehicle, V, is also disclosed. |
