help for the driver, but the driver must
never allow their attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds.
288) The system is designed to be used
during the day or in good light conditions.
Do not use or rely on the system in low
light conditions.
289) The distance and trajectory lines
should be used as references and only if
the car is on a level road. The distance
shown on the instrument panel display
should be regarded as a reference and
may differ from the actual distance
between the vehicle and any objects
displayed.
290) Any objects above the cameras are
not detected.
IMPORTANT
82) To avoid damage to the car, the
camera system should only be used as
a parking assist system because the
cameras cannot detect every type of
obstacle or object located in the trajectory
of the car.
83) When using the system, the car must
also be driven at low speed to allow it to
stop quickly if an obstacle is detected.
When reversing, the driver is advised to
look behind when using the system.
84) The cameras must be clean of mud,
dirt, snow or ice in order for the system
to operate correctly. Be careful not to
scratch or damage the cameras while
cleaning it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The cameras must be washed
using clean water, with the addition of
vehicle shampoo if necessary. In washing
stations which use steam or high-pressure
jets, clean the cameras quickly, keeping
the nozzle more than 10 cm away from
the sensors.
LANESENSESYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
85) 86) 87) 88) 89) 90)
The LaneSense system is operational
at speeds above 60 km/h and below
180 km/h. The system makes use of
a camera located on the windscreen
(fig. 219) to detect the lane limits and
calculate the position of the car within
such limits, in order to make sure that it
remains inside the lane.
219 5520319D
When the lane lines are detected and the
driver accidentally drives over one (with
the direction indicator not working), the
LaneSense system provides a tactile
warning in form of torque applied to the
steering wheel, together with a visual
warning on the instrument panel display
to prompt the driver to remain within the
lines.
NOTE 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.
When the lane lines are detected and
the driver unintentionally drives over
one (with the direction indicator not on),
the LaneSense system provides a visual
warning on the instrument panel display
to prompt the driver to remain within
the lines. If the car continues to cross
the lane line the steering wheel vibrates.
If only one lane limit line is detected,
torque is applied on the steering wheel
when the car crosses the line.
NOTE When the operating conditions
are met, the LaneSense system monitors
whether the driver's hands are on the
steering wheel and provides an acoustic
and visual warning if they are not
detected. The system is cancelled only
if the driver keeps both hands on the
steering wheel.
SYSTEM ON/OFF
The system is turned on when the engine
is started (LED on the button in the
dashboard
is on fig. 220).
