ADDITIONAL DRIVING AID FUNCTIONS
3
Driving - 235
1 Camera
Detects markings on the ground and
the position of vehicles on the various
traffic lanes.
It receives information from the radar
6 andmergesitwithitsowninforma-
tion to determine the trajectory and
speed of the vehicle (acceleration/
braking).Amongstotherthings,itcon-
trols the system activation/deactivation
parameters (door opening status,
etc.).
Depending on the vehicle, it processes
information to detect the presence of
the driver's hands on the steering
wheel.
Makesurethewindscreenisnotob-
scured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
2 Aerial and maps
(dependingonthecountryandsub-
scription)
Roadmapsandcertaindrivingcondi-
tions (roundabouts and cornering) are
downloaded according to the journey
taken by the vehicle. The system can
anticipate deceleration following a
change of the speed limit indicated on
roadsigns,dependingontheparame-
ters selected by the driver.
The system can also adjust the
vehicle's speed when approaching a
bend or roundabout.
3 Electronic parking brake
It the vehicle stationary under certain
conditions.
4 Capacitive sensor
Depending on the vehicle, it detects
hands on the steering wheel.
5 Power-assisted steering
It operates the front wheels to guide
the vehicle trajectory according to the
informationtransmittedbythecomput-
er 1 .
6 Engine computer
It controls and directs the engine to
carry out the required acceleration.
7 Radar
Calculates the distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle in front.
Thesystem'smaximumrangeisap-
proximately 150 metres. This may vary
according to the road conditions
(ground relief, weather conditions,
etc.)
Ensurethattheradarareaisnotob-
structed (dirt, mud, snow, a badly fitted
frontnumberplate),impacted,modi-
fied (including painting) or hidden by
any accessory fitted on the front of the
vehicle (on the grille or logo etc.).
8 Active vehicle control
This system provides information on
vehicle dynamics to the computer 1
(speed, lateral acceleration, etc.) and
acts on the braking system to control
deceleration and to keep the vehicle
stationary.
The radar and camera
zones must be kept
clean and free of any
tamperinginordertoen-
sure the proper operation of the
system.
