If the vehicle continues going beyond
the line of the lane without any
intervention from the driver, the
warning light (or the icon on the
display) will be displayed on the
instrument panel to urge the driver to
bring the vehicle back into the limits of
the lane.
LANE ASSIST
SYSTEM (lane
crossing warning)
DESCRIPTION
44) 45) 46) 47) 48) 49)
The Lane Assist system makes use of a
camera located on the windscreen to
detect the lane limits and calculate
the position of the vehicle within such
limits, in order to make sure that it
remains inside the lane.
IMPORTANT The system monitors the
presence of the driver's hands on
the steering wheel. If they are

On some versions, a dedicated
message appears on the display when
it is activated and deactivated.
not detected, the system emits an
acoustic signal and deactivates until it is
reactivated by pressing the dedicated
button (see description below).
When one limit of the lane is detected
and the vehicle crosses it (direction
indicator off), warning light (or the
icon on the display) will be displayed on
the instrument panel to urge the driver
to bring the vehicle back into the lane.
In this case, the tactile warning
(vibration on the steering wheel) is not
provided.
When both limits of the lane are
detected and the vehicle crosses one of
them without the awareness of the
driver (direction indicator off), the Lane
Assist system provides a tactile warning
by applying torque to the steering
wheel (vibration), thus advising the
driver that he must take an action to
remain in the lane.
Activation conditions
Once switched on, the system
becomes active only if the following
conditions are met:
❒ the driver always keeps at least one
hand on the steering wheel;
❒ vehicle speed ranges between 60
km/h and 180 km/h;
IMPORTANT The torque applied to the
steering wheel by the system is
❒ the lane limit lines are perfectly visible
on both sides;
SYSTEM ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
sufficient for the driver to notice it, but
always limited, so that they can easily
override it, and the driver always
maintains control of the vehicle. The
driver can therefore turn the steering
wheel as required at all times.
❒ there are suitable visibility conditions;
The Lane Assist system can be
enabled/disabled using button A fig.
101, located on the left stalk.
Each time the engine is started, the
system keeps the activation status
there was when it was previously
switched off.
❒ the road is straight or with wide
radius bends;
❒ a suitable distance is kept from the
vehicle in front;
❒ the direction indicator (for leaving the
lane) is not active;
