Lane departure prevention

Using information from the camera 1, 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 activating the direction indicator lights.

Depending on the setting, in the event of crossing a broken line without activating the direction indicator lights, the function:

warns the driver without corrective action on the steering system;

performs corrective action on the steering system.

Location of the camera 1

Make sure the windscreen is not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, condensation etc.).

WARNING

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.

the warning light and the left-hand and right-hand line indicators 4 appear in white.

The function is ready to alert or take action if the vehicle breaches a line or approaches a roadside (divider, barrier, pavement, embankment, etc.) without the direction indicator lights being activated.

approaches a roadside without activating the direction indicators;
crosses a continuous line without activating the indicator lights;
crosses a broken line without activating the direction indicators, if the "Operation on broken line" setting is selected.

In these cases:

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

and

the warning light and the indicator 4 on the side of the breached line are displayed in yellow on the instrument panel.

If the corrective action on the steering system is not sufficient, the

and the indicator 4 on the side of the breached line change to red on the instrument panel, accompanied by a vibration on the steering wheel.

Warning

WARNING

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.) ;
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 Departure Prevention" function may be activated 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.) ;
