SAFETY
110
in order to make sure that it remains
inside the lane.
When the one of the lane lines is
detected and the car crosses it without
the awareness of the driver (direction
indicator off), the Lane Control system
provides a tactile warning in form of
torque applied to the steering wheel
(vibration) when the lane limit is
approached, thus advising the driver
that he must take an action to remain in
the lane.
WARNING The torque applied to
the steering wheel by the system is
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 car. The driver
can therefore turn the steering wheel as
required at all times.
If the car continues going beyond the
line of the lane without any intervention
from the driver, the warning light
(or the icon on the reconfigurable
multifunction display) will be displayed
on the instrument panel to urge the
driver to bring the car back into the
limits of the lane.
SYSTEM ON/OFF
When the car is started the system is
enabled.
To disengage the system, press the
(A) fig. 105 on the lever on the left
steering wheel twice. If the button is
not pressed twice within 5 seconds,
the system will remain enabled.
On some versions, a specific message
indicating disabling is shown on the
display.

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;
car speed ranges between 60 km/h
and 150 km/h;
the lane is delimited at least on one
side;
there are suitable visibility conditions;
the road is straight or with wide
radius bends;
the direction indicator (lane
departure) is not activated in the same
lane departure direction as the vehicle.
WARNING The system does not apply
the torque to the steering wheel when
a safety system is activated (brakes,
ABS, ASR system, ESC system,
Autonomous Emergency Brake Control
(AEB) system, etc.).
SYMBOLS AND MESSAGES ON
THE DISPLAY
The Lane Control also warns the driver
when the car strays out of lane by
displaying symbols and messages on
the instrument panel display.
Versions with reconfigurable
multifunction display
When the system is active and the lane
limits have not been detected, the lane
lines are grey and a dedicated icon is
shown in the dedicated top area of the
display.
Exiting a lane with detection of a
single limit
When the system is active and only,
for example, the left lane limit has
been detected, the car icon is shown
in the dedicated area of the display;
the system is ready to provide visual
warnings in the event of unintentional
