tracking the vehicle in front.

● The Co-Driver system must be activated by pressing

the Co-Driver button on the steering wheel.

● The Adaptive Cruise Control device (ACC) must be

activated.

OPERATION

● The vehicles speed must fall within the range of 0

mph to 90 mph (0 km/h to 150 km/h).

The system functions only if the driver maintains

contact with the steering wheel. If the system detects

that the driver's hands have been removed from the

steering wheel, it will provide alerts to prompt the driver

to place their hands back on the steering wheel.

● There should be no anomalies related to the camera

or radar.

● The road lane width must be between 8.5 ft and

13.5 ft (2.7 meters and 4.2 meters).

NOTE:

Objects Moving in Perpendicular Direction Example

The Co-Driver system may require a few seconds to

activate once all necessary conditions are met. During

this brief activation period, a grey indicator will be

displayed on the instrument panel, and the system will

automatically activate once all the conditions are met,

without any intervention from the driver.

● The direction indicators must not be activated

● There should be no anomalies related to the system

itself.

Suspension conditions

This is a driving assistance system that can be engaged

on all types of roads. It utilizes information from both

the front camera and radar to assist in maintaining

the car's position in the center of the lane while

maintaining a consistent speed.

System operation are temporarily paused under the

following scenarios:

● When the ACC system gets deactivated or inhibited

page 79.

In cases where the lane marking lines are missing

or not properly detected, the Co-Driver system may

also rely on information from nearby vehicles, including

those in front and around the car. This situation can

arise in heavy traffic or when the car ahead and/or

objects in the car's vicinity obstruct the lane markings.

In such instances, the system can use the flow of traffic

98 STARTING AND OPERATING

If the driver's hands are not on the steering wheel, a

series of warnings will appear on the instrument panel

display to alert the driver that he needs to reposition his

hands on the steering wheel. Acoustic signals will also

be emitted.

● When the sun is low, causing glare on the windshield

camera.

● If the driver activates the left or right turn signal.

● When the driver intentionally switches lanes without

using the corresponding turn signal.

After a certain period of time, the Co-Driver system

will be disabled if the driver has not repositioned their

hands on the steering wheel.

● In the event of system irregularities.

● When the vehicle speed exceeds the maximum limit.

● If lateral acceleration becomes too high.

Automatic deactivation

When the system does not detect hands on the steering

wheel for a few seconds, it will warn the driver by

displaying a dedicated screen in the center of the

instrument cluster display.

The Co-Driver system will automatically deactivate if you

take your hands off the steering wheel for 45 seconds.

SYSTEM STATUS

When the Co-Driver is paused the associated graphics

in the designated area will turn grey.

System active: A properly functioning system is verified

by the display on the instrument panel. If hands

are taken off the steering wheel, the system won't

shut down immediately, only after a brief period: A

series of dedicated screens will subsequently appear

in succession on the instrument panel to remind the

driver to place their hands back on the steering wheel.

When the steering wheel detects hands are on, the Co-

Driver will be reactivated without any additional action

needed from the driver.

WARNING!

It is dangerous to leave the device on when it is not

used. There is a risk of inadvertently activating it and

losing control of the car due to unexpected excessive

speed.

System Active — Yellow

Hands removed from the steering wheel for a short

time: As soon as you take your hands off the steering

wheel, the system will provide this warning on the

instrument panel display. The system will remain active.

If the driver doesn't reposition their hands on the

steering wheel within a few seconds, the following

message will appear on the instrument cluster display.

INDICATIONS ON THE DISPLAY

The system status can always be viewed through a

dedicated area on the instrument panel display.

The system status is indicated by the color of the

initiate a minimum risk maneuver to ensure the car's

safety if no hands are detected.

● Damage, obstruction, or coverage of either the

camera or radar (e.g., by mud, ice, snow, etc.).

The Adaptive Cruise Control system will apply slight

braking 23 seconds after hands have been removed

from the steering wheel to warn and encourage the

driver to regain control of the vehicle. If control is not

regained after an additional 3 seconds, the system will

apply slight braking again. Subsequently, if hands are

still not placed back on the steering wheel, the system

will automatically apply the brakes to bring the vehicle

to a complete stop.

● Driving in hilly terrain or on roads with narrow turns.

● Proximity to highway toll-gates.

● Wide motorway entrance or exit (more than 20 ft (6

meters)).

● Exposure of the camera to intense or dazzling light

(e.g., reflection or direct sunlight).

FRONT/REAR PARK ASSIST — IF

EQUIPPED

The Park Assist system provides visual and audible

indications of the distance between the rear and/or

front fascia/bumper and a detected obstacle when

backing up or moving forward (e.g. during a parking

maneuver).

When the vehicle comes to a stop, the system will

unlock the doors (if they were previously locked) and

switches the hazard lights on.

System Active — Red

Hands removed from the steering wheel for a long time:

If you fail to place your hands on the steering wheel,

a screen will be displayed on the instrument cluster as

well as an acoustic warning.

If the driver regains control of the vehicle during the

minimum risk maneuver by placing hands on the

steering wheel or pressing the accelerator pedal, the

system will resume normal operation, and the minimum

risk maneuver will be canceled.

For limitations of this system and recommendations,

NOTE:

When the Co-Driver system is active, LaneSense (if

equipped) is temporarily paused. If the Co-Driver

system is not active, LaneSense, if previously activated,

remains available. For additional details on the

Park Assist will retain the last system state (enabled or

disabled) from the last ignition cycle when the ignition

is changed to the ON/RUN position.

Park Assist is active when the gear selector is shifted

to REVERSE or to a forward gear and an obstacle

is detected (if equipped with front sensors), as long

as the system is on. When the gear selector shifted

to NEUTRAL (or PARK in case of automatic gearbox),

the system becomes inactive. When the vehicle is

moving forward, the system will remain active until

the vehicle speed remains below approximately 8 mph

(13 km/h). Reducing the speed approximately below
