The system must not be activated in the
following situations:
The driver will notice a turning movement of the
steering wheel.
– Driving with a "space-saver" type spare
wheel.
This warning lamp flashes during
trajectory correction.
– When towing, especially with an
unconnected or unapproved trailer.
– Poor weather conditions.
– Driving on slippery road surfaces (risk of
aquaplaning, snow, ice).
The driver can prevent the correction by
keeping a firm grip on the wheel (during
an avoiding manoeuvre, for example).
The correction is interrupted immediately if
the direction indicators are operated.
Conditions for operation
– Vehicle speed between 40 and 112 mph (65 and
180 km/h).
– Driving on racing circuits.
– Driving on a rolling road.
– Road marked with a central dividing line.
– Steering wheel held in both hands.
– Direction indicators not activated.
– ESC system activated and operational.
Malfunction
A system malfunction is indicated
by the Service warning lamp coming
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 brakes.
on and this (orange) symbol, accompanied by an
alert message and an audible signal.
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).
While the direction indicators are on and for
a few seconds after switching them off, the
system considers that any change of trajectory is
intentional and no correction is triggered during
this period.
Active Lane Departure
Warning System
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.
Using a camera located at the top of the
windscreen to identify lane markings on the
road and at the edges of the road (depending on
version), the system corrects the trajectory of the
vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects a risk
of unintentionally crossing a line or hard shoulder
(depending on version).
However, with the Blind Spot Detection system
activated, if the driver starts changing lanes and
another vehicle is detected in the vehicle's blind
spot, the system will correct the trajectory even
though the direction indicators are on.
Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected or a lane limit (e.g. grass border), it
makes the necessary trajectory correction to
return the vehicle to its initial path.
For more information on the Blind Spot Detection,
refer to the corresponding section.
This system is particularly useful on motorways
and main roads.
