LANE KEEPING ASSIST

Using information from the 1 camera, the function triggers corrective action on the vehicle steering system when a continuous or broken line is crossed or when approaching the roadside (divider, barrier, pavement, embankment, etc.) without the direction indicator lights being activated.

Note: make sure the windscreen is not obscured (dirt, mud, snow, condensation etc.).

You can retake control of the vehicle at any time by operating the steering wheel.

This function is an additional driving aid and the driver is responsible for steering wheel operation. This system is not a substitute for the driver and the driver must drive with his hands on the streering wheel when driving.

Always be careful when driving, as the system may not be unexpectedly deactivated or operated, or may operate unecessarily depending on the road conditions and attention circumstances.

Activation/deactivation

To activate the function, press the 2 switch as many times as required to select “Lane Keeping Assist” on the instrument panel.

The “Lane Keeping activated” message and “” warning light are displayed on the instrument panel.

When Lane Keeping Assist is activated, the “Lane Departure Warning” function is automatically activated. LANE DEPARTURE WARNING

To disable the function, press the 2 switch as many times as required to select “Lane Keeping deactivated” on the instrument panel.

Warning light goes out on the instrument panel.

Note: deactivating the “Lane Keeping Assist” function causes deactivation of the “Lane Departure Warning” function.

Each time the vehicle is started, the function continues the mode saved the last time the engine was stopped.

Operation

When the function is activated, the warning light and the left and right lines 3 are displayed in grey on the instrument panel.

The function is set to operate when the vehicle speed is between approximately 43 mph (70 km/h) and 112 mph (180 km/h) and if the warning light and 3 correction indicators are coloured white.

The function operates if the vehicle breaches a line or if the vehicle approaches the roadside (divider, barrier, pavement, embankment, etc.) without the direction indicator lights being activated.

In these cases:

- the function triggers an action on the vehicle’s steering system to correct the vehicle trajectory;

- the 3 indicator on the side of the breached line turns to yellow on the instrument panel.

Note: on bends, the function allows for slightly cutting the bend.

If the corrective action on the steering system is not sufficient, the warning light and 3 indicator on the side of the breached line turn to red on the instrument panel, accompanied by a vibration on the steering wheel.

Special case

When using the system:

- If the system can no longer detect any action by the driver on the steering wheel, the warning light appears in orange on the instrument panel, accompanied by the message “Keep hands on steering wheel” and an audible warning.

- if the system is active for too long, an audible warning is emitted and the indicator 3 on the side of the line concerned flashes until the driver takes control.

You can interrupt the trajectory correction at any time by moving the steering wheel.

Please note that the system warning may appear late according to road conditions when driver’s hands are off the steering wheel.

Always have your hands on the steering wheel when driving.

The system may warn driver that driver is not holding the steering wheel when the driver operates steering wheel excessively or holds on the steering wheel softly.

This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due care and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.

System servicing/repairs

- In the event of an impact, the camera alignment may be changed, and its operation may consequently be affected. Deactivate the function and consult an authorised dealer.

- Any work in the area where the camera is located (repairs, replacements, windscreen modifications etc.) must be carried out by a qualified professional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

In the event of system disturbance

Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such as:

- windscreen obscured (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation etc.);

- a complex environment (tunnel etc.);

- poor weather conditions (snow, rain, hail, black ice etc.) ;

- poor visibility (night, fog etc.);

- the road markings are irregular or difficult to distinguish (e.g. partially erased, excessive spacing, distorted road surface) ;

- being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposite direction etc.);

- the road is narrow, winding or undulating (tight bends etc.);

- closely following a vehicle travelling in the same lane.

In this case, the “Lane Keeping Assist” may react incorrectly or not at all.

Risk of unwanted, incorrect correction or no correction of trajectory.

Deactivating the function

You must disable the function if:

- the area of the camera has been damaged (on the windscreen side or the interior rear-view mirror side);

- the road is slippery (snow, black ice, aquaplaning, gravel etc.) ;

- poor visibility (night, fog etc.);

- the windscreen is cracked or distorted (do not carry out windscreen repairs in this area; have it changed by an Authorised Dealer);

- the vehicle is towing a trailer or a caravan;

- the vehicle is entering an area with several surface markings (an area with road works etc.).
