Driver Assistance Systems
to try to prevent the lane change
and therefore to avoid/mitigate the
collision. The torque on the steering
is applied when the car is very close
to the lane boundary as a further
feedback to warn the driver of the
unsafe manoeuvre.
NOTE:
The steering torque is not supplied if
the system is not able to estimate a
lane and if the turn indicator from the
appropriate side is not inserted.
WARNING!
•
Risk of accident despite steering
torque application of Active Blind
Spot Assist (ABSA).
•
A course-correcting steering torque
application cannot always prevent a
collision.
•
The driver is always required to
steer, brake or accelerate himself,
especially if ABSA warns or makes a
course correcting steer intervention.
•
Always maintain a safe distance at
the sides.
•
In rare cases, the system may make
an inappropriate steering torque
application. This application may be
interrupted at any time by counter
steering.
•
Lack of attention may lead to serious
injury or death.
System Monitoring on TFT
Display
Whenever the ABSA system is enabled
by the user, an specific indicator is
displayed in the left upper corner of
the TFT display (area 24). This indicator
can take on different colors depending
on the system status:
stand by status (white icon);
active status (green icon);
intervention (amber icon).
In Case of Intervention
ABAS shall apply a torque on the
steering wheel when a vehicle is
detected in blind spot. If driver's hands
are off the steering wheel, a graphic
pop-up shall appear on TFT display to
invite you to keep your hands on the
steering wheel. In this case, a single
audible chime is repeated until he/she
will take the control of the vehicle
again.
RCP - Rear Cross Path
Operation
RCP operation (if equipped) is the
same as described in chapter "Blind
Spot Assist - BSA".
The visual or audible alerts from
RCP subsystem will also be present
when ABSA is turned off from MIA
"Settings" menu of the "Vehicle"
page.
When ABSA is turned on with any
setting,RCP subsystem shall respond
with both visual and audible alerts
when a detected vehicle or object is
present. Whenever an audible alert
is requested, the radio (if on) is also
muted.
Right/left turn/hazard signal status
is ignored; the RCP status always
requests the chime.
