Default Keep Hands on Steering Wheel

This past weekend on a rural road I briefly took my hands of the steering to check the alignment. A warning popped up on the dash to keep hands on the steering wheel. Also in the same day received a warning about fatigue with a cup of coffee icon. Anybody seen either of these warnings yet?

Love the new truck!

Somebody else posted a picture of their coffee break reminder. I think it may have to do with the amount of miles/time traveled in one trip. As for the hands on the steering wheel, never seen that one. So much for driving with one knee.

I've seen the keep hands on wheel message after driving with one finger lightly on the wheel for awhile on the freeway. Never seen the coffee break message though.

Just found this..

EDIT: Sorry for the small/crappy quality pic. Apparently the driver alert system is part of the lane-keeping system. Drive like you are drowsy and it will throw up a warning.
