Lane keeping assist
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids.
The system corrects the vehicle's trajectory by
alerting the driver as soon as it detects a risk of
involuntary lane departure or crossing of a verge
or hard shoulder (depending on version).
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on
the upper part of the windscreen, identifying the
lane markings on the ground and the side of the
road (depending on version).
This system is particularly useful on motorways
and main roads.
Operating conditions
– Vehicle speed between 43 and 112 mph (70 and
180km/h).
– Road marked with a central dividing line.
– Steering wheel held with both hands.
– Direction indicators off upon activation of the
system.
– ESC system activated and operational.
The system helps the driver only if there is
a risk of the vehicle unintentionally
wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It
does not manage the safe driving distance,
vehicle speed or braking.
The driver must hold the steering wheel with
both hands so that they can maintain control
whenthe conditions no longer allow the
system to intervene (e.g.in the event that
the central dividing line marking on the road
surface disappears).
Operation
As soon as the system identifies a risk of
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected on the ground or a lane boundary
(e.g.grass verge), it performs the trajectory
correction necessary to restore the vehicle to its
original lane.
The driver will notice a turning movement of the
steering wheel.
This warning lamp flashes during
trajectory correction.
The driver can prevent the correction by
firmly holding the steering wheel
(e.g.during an emergency manoeuvre).
The correction is interrupted immediately if
the direction indicators are operated.
While the direction indicators are activated and
for a few seconds after switching them off, the
system considers that a change of trajectory is
intentional and no correction is triggered during
this period.
