Driver intervention prompt
If you remove your hands from the steering
wheel, after a few seconds the system asks
you to take over the steering with an indication
on the instrument panel display and acoustic
warnings.
If you do not react, Travel Assist is deactivated.
Depending on the equipment, Emergency As-
sist activates in its place.
WARNING
The Travel Assist smart technology cannot
overcome the limits imposed by the laws of
physics and it only works within the limits
of the system. If Travel assist is used negli-
gently or involuntarily, it may cause serious
accidents and injuries. The system is not a
replacement for driver awareness.
●
Bear in mind the system limitations and
the indications regarding the control of the
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane As-
sist.
●
Adapt your speed and safety distance to
the vehicle in front of you at all times to
suit visibility, weather, road and trac condi-
tions.
●
Do not use Travel Assist when visibility is
bad, on steep roads, on windy roads or in
slippery circumstances (e. g., snow, ice, rain
or loose gravel), or on flooded roads.
●
Do not use Travel Assist oroad or on roads
where the surface is not firm. Travel Assist
has been designed for use on paved roads
only.
●
Travel Assist does not react to people or
animal or vehicles crossing your path or
which approach you head-on in the same
lane.
●
Brake immediately if Travel Assist does not
slow down enough.
●
Brake immediately when instructed to do
so on the instrument cluster display, or if
Travel Assist does not reduce speed su-
ciently.
●
Brake when the vehicle continues to move
forward without it being desired after an indi-
cation to brake.
●
If possible, do not wear gloves while driv-
ing. The system could interpret this as no
driving activity.
●
If driver intervention is requested on the in-
strument panel display, immediately resume
control of the vehicle.
●
Keep your hands on the steering wheel at
all times, to ensure you have control over the
steering at all times. The driver is always re-
sponsible for keeping the vehicle in its own
lane.
●
Always be prepared to adjust the speed
yourself.
