At any time, the driver can change the position of
the vehicle by intervening on the steering wheel
and maintaining the position until the system has
taken it into account. If the chosen position is too
off-centre, an automatic re-centering manoeuvre
can occur. The system adjusts to the newly
defined position.
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids.
(orange) System malfunction.
If the driver no longer wishes to use the
system for some time, they can deactivate it by
pressing the ASSIST button again (confirmed
by the Driving aids area disappearing from the
instrument panel).
Pausing/Suspending the
system
The system status is saved when the
ignition is switched off.
The driver must act promptly if they
believe that the traffic conditions or the
state of the road surface require their
intervention, by moving the steering wheel to
temporarily suspend system operation. Any
action on the brake pedal that causes the
Adaptive cruise control system to be paused
will also cause the system to be paused.
The system identifies the edges of the traffic
lane and steers the vehicle to keep it inside this
lane and maintain the lateral position chosen by
the driver.
To do this, the system uses a camera placed on
the upper part of the windscreen.
Operating conditions
– Adaptive cruise control active.
– ESC system operational.
– ASR system activated.
This system is particularly suited to driving on
motorways and main roads.
– No trailer detected.
– No 'space-saver' spare wheel in use.
– Vehicle not subject to strong lateral
acceleration.
– Direction indicators off upon activation of the
system.
Activation/Deactivation
The Lane positioning assist system is
automatically activated, after selecting the Drive
Assist Plus mode.
For more information on the Drive Assist Plus
system, refer to the corresponding section.
The selection is confirmed by the display of the
symbols on the instrument panel, representing
the steering wheel and the side lines.
The colour of the symbols depends on the
operating state of the system:
If the system detects that the driver is
not holding the wheel firmly enough, it
triggers a series of gradual alerts and then
deactivates itself if there is no response from
the driver.
Regulation
The driver must hold the steering wheel
properly.
If the function is suspended due to the
prolonged release of the force holding
the steering wheel, the system must be
reactivated by pressing the ASSIST button
again.
When regulation is activated, the symbols are
displayed in green: with small steering inputs,
the system steers the vehicle and keeps it in the
position chosen by the driver in the traffic lane.
This position is not necessarily the centre of the
lane.
(grey) One or more operating con-
ditions is not met; the system is
paused.
