The system helps the driver only if there
is a risk of the vehicle unintentionally
wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It
does not manage the safe driving distance,
vehicle speed or braking.
Active lane departure
warning system
The driver must hold the steering wheel with
both hands in a way that allows control to
be maintained in circumstances where the
system is not able to intervene (for example, if
the central dividing line disappears).
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.
While the direction indicators are activated and
for a few seconds after switching them off, the
system considers that a change of trajectory is
intentional and no correction is triggered during
this period.
The system corrects the vehicle's trajectory by
alerting the driver as soon as it detects a risk of
involuntary lane departure or crossing of a verge
or hard shoulder (depending on version).
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on
the upper part of the windscreen, identifying the
lane markings on the ground and the side of the
road (depending on version).
Operation
If the system detects that the driver is not
holding the wheel firmly enough during
an automatic correction of trajectory, it
interrupts the correction. An alert is triggered
to encourage the driver to take back control of
the vehicle.
As soon as the system identifies a risk of
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected on the ground or a lane boundary
(e.g. grass verge), it performs the trajectory
correction necessary to restore the vehicle to its
original lane.
This system is particularly useful on
motorways and main roads.
The driver will notice a turning movement of the
steering wheel.
This warning lamp flashes during
trajectory correction.
The driver can prevent the correction by
firmly holding the steering wheel
(e.g. during an emergency manoeuvre).
The correction is interrupted immediately if
the direction indicators are operated.
Operating conditions
– Vehicle speed between 43 and 112 mph (70
and 180 km/h).
– Road marked with a central dividing line.
– Steering wheel held in both hands.
– Direction indicators not activated.
