The invention relates to a vehicle 10 with an alert system 12, preferably a motion sickness alert system, that comprises an alert switch 14, which is positioned inside the vehicle in a position to be accessible by passengers on passenger seats of the vehicle, wherein the alert system is configured to detect when the alert switch is actuated by a passenger. Furthermore, upon the detection the alert system is configured to inform a driver about the actuation of the alert switch by outputting a first optical and/or acoustical and/or haptic signal 18. If, after the alert switch has been activated, the speed or acceleration of the vehicle exceeds a predefined value a second optical, acoustical and/or haptic signal may be made. By actuating the alert switch the air conditioning of the vehicle may be configured to bring outside air into the vehicle, and a third signal may be produced every two to three hours to remind the driver to take a break.
