Get Driving -> Active Lane Departure Warning System Guide for DS 7 Crossback 4 Door First Generation (2017-2022)

137

Driving

– The driver must hold the wheel with both

hands.

– The change of trajectory must not be

accompanied by operation of the direction

indicators.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, this warning

lamp comes on on the instrument panel,

accompanied by the display of a message and an

audible signal.

– The ESC system must be activated and not

faulty.

Deactivation / Activation

Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.

The function is activated automatically when the

ignition is switched on.

The system helps the driver only when

Active Lane Departure

Warning System

Refer to the General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids.

there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily

wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It

does not manage the safe driving distance, the

speed of the vehicle or the brakes.

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 dividing line marking disappears).

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).

OFF

The function is deactivated and activated by

pressing this button.

The button indicator lamp lights up to confirm

deactivation of the function.

Operation

This system is particularly useful on motorways

and main roads.

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.

The driver will notice a turning movement of the

steering wheel.

Detection

If an unexpected change of direction is

detected, this warning lamp flashes in the

instrument panel accompanied by an audible

signal.

This warning lamp flashes during

trajectory correction.

No warning is transmitted while the direction

indicator is activated and for approximately 20

seconds after the direction indicator is switched

off.

Conditions for operation

– The speed of the vehicle must be between 40

and 112 mph (65 and 180 km/h).

– The traffic lane must be delimited by a dividing

line.

138

Driving

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.

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.

For more information on the Blind Spot Detection,

refer to the corresponding section.

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.

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.

Driving situations and related alerts

The table below describes the alerts and messages displayed in different driving situations.

These alerts are not displayed sequentially.

Function status

Indicator lamp

Display and/or associated

message

Comments

OFF

Function deactivated.

(grey)

System active, conditions not met:

– speed below 40 mph (65 km/h),

– no lane marking recognised,

– ASR/DSC systems deactivated or operation of ESC

system triggered,

– "sport" driving.

Driving

Function status

Indicator lamp

Display and/or associated

message

Comments

Automatic deactivation/standby of the function (for

example, due to detection of a trailer or use of the "space-

saver" spare wheel provided with the vehicle).

(grey)

(green)

Lane marking detection.

Speed above 40 mph (65 km/h).

The system corrects the trajectory on the side where the

risk of unintentional crossing is detected (orange line).

(orange)/(green)

– If, while correcting the trajectory, the system detects

that the driver has not held the steering wheel for a few

seconds, it interrupts the correction and returns control to

the driver.

– If, while correcting the trajectory, the system determines

that the correction will not be enough and that a solid line

will be crossed (orange line): the driver is warned that they

must provide additional trajectory adjustment.

(orange)/(green)

"Take control of the

vehicle."

The duration of audible warnings will increase if multiple

corrections are performed in quick succession. The warning

will become continuous, persisting until the driver responds.

140

Driving

Risk of undesirable operation

We recommend deactivating the system in the

following driving situations:

– driving on damaged, unstable or very slippery

(ice) road surfaces,

– unfavourable weather conditions,

– driving on a speed circuit,

instrument panel, accompanied by the display of

a message and an audible signal.

Have the system checked by a dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Operating limits

The system goes into standby automatically in

the following cases:

– ESC deactivated or operation triggered,

– speed below 40 mph (65 km/h) or greater than

112 mph (180 km/h),

– electrical connection of a trailer,

– use of the "space-saver" spare wheel detected

(as detection is not immediate, deactivation of

the system is recommended),

Blind Spot Detection

Refer to the General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids.

– driving on a rolling road.

Deactivation / Activation

– dynamic driving style detected, pressure on the

brake or accelerator pedal,

– driving where there are no lane markings,

– activation of the direction indicators,

– crossing the inside line on a bend,

– driving in a tight corner,

– inactivity by the driver detected during

correction.

This system includes sensors, placed on the

sides of the bumpers, and warns the driver of the

potentially dangerous presence of another vehicle

(car, truck, motorcycle) in the blind spot areas of

their vehicle (areas hidden from the driver's field

of vision).

The following situations may interfere

with the operation of the system or

prevent it from working:

– insufficient contrast between the road

surface and the shoulders (e.g. shade),

– lane markings worn, hidden (snow, mud) or

multiple (roadworks, etc.),

►ꢀ Press this button to deactivate / reactivate

the system at any time.

Deactivation is signalled by the lighting of

the indicator lamp in the button and this

warning lamp in the instrument panel.

The system is automatically reactivated every

time the ignition is switched on.

– running close to the vehicle in front (the lane

markings may not be detected),

– roads that are narrow, winding, etc.

Malfunction

A fault with the system is signalled by the

illumination of these warning lamps in the
