Driving
After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a new alert with the message "Take a break!",
accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal.
Conditions for operation
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal surface of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
conceal the detection camera.
The speed of the vehicle must be between
40 mph and 112 mph (65 km/h and 180 km/h).
The driver must hold the steering wheel with both
hands.
The change of trajectory must not be
accompanied by operation of the direction
indicators.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
surface or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's
level of vigilance.
The ESC system must be activated and fault-free.
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
working:
This system is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the
driver’s own vigilance. The driver must
remain in control of the vehicle under all
circumstances.
The system helps the driver only when
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
(if lane markings disappear, for example).
It is necessary to observe the driving
regulations and take a break every two
hours.
Active Lane Keeping
Assistance
Using a camera located at the top of the
windscreen to identify lane markings on the
ground, the system corrects the trajectory of
the vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects
a risk of involuntary crossing of a line.
This system is particularly useful on motorways
and main roads.
-
poor visibility (inadequate lighting of
the roadway, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, etc.),
-
dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
-
-
windscreen area located in front of the
camera: dirty, misted up, frost-covered,
snow-covered, damaged or covered by
a sticker,
lane markings absent, worn, hidden
(snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks,
etc.),
-
-
close to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings not detected),
roads that are narrow, winding, etc.
