ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (8/8)

Deactivating the function

You must disable the function if:

- the brake lights are not functioning;

- the area of the camera has been damaged (e.g. on the inside or outside of the windscreen);

- the front of the vehicle was damaged (impact, scratch on the radar, etc.);

- the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);

- the windscreen is cracked or distorted (do not carry out windscreen repairs in this area; have it changed by an approved

dealer);

- you are not driving on a paved road.

In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.

Halting the function

You can halt the active emergency braking function at any time by tapping the accelerator pedal or by turning the steering

wheel in an avoidance manoeuvre.

FATIGUE DETECTION WARNING (1/2)

The fatigue detection warning is a func-

tion which is useful on monotonous

roads (motorways, high-speed roads

etc.).

It analyses driver behaviour and takes

account of events to inform you of any

risk of fatigue such as:

- steering wheel movement;

- driver actions on other devices (indi-

cators, windscreen washer etc.);

- time spent driving without stopping;

DETECTION OF ROAD SIGNS (4/4)

Operating faults

The system cannot detect the speed

limit if:

- the windscreen is not clean;

- the camera is blinded by the sun;

- there is insufficient visibility (night,

fog etc.);

- the signs are not legible (snow, etc.)

or are hidden (by another vehicle or

by trees);

- the information taken from the navi-

gation system is not up to date.

This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any

circumstances intended to replace the due care and attention of the

driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.

The driver should always adapt their speed to the traffic conditions, re-

gardless of the system indications.

The system detects speed limit signs and does not detect other signs (e.g. entry/

exit to/from urban areas, etc.).

The system may not detect all speed limit signs or may interpret them incorrectly.

The driver should not ignore signs that are not detected by the system and should,

as a priority, comply with the traffic signage and the highway code.

In the event of poor visibility (fog, snow, frost, etc.), it is possible that the system

may not indicate the correct speed to the driver.

The driver should always adapt their speed to the traffic conditions, regardless of

the system indications.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (13/14)

This function is an additional driving aid. It can under no circumstances replace the driver’s responsibility to respect

speed limits and safe distances and to be vigilant.

The driver must always be in control of the vehicle.

The driver must always adapt their speed to the surroundings and driving conditions, regardless of system indications.

Except for lines delimiting lanes, traffic indicators (traffic lights, signs, pedestrian crossings etc.) are not recognised by the

system. These do not trigger any alert or reaction by the system.

The system should under no circumstances be taken to be an obstacle detector or an anti-collision system.

The adaptive cruise control must only be used on a motorway (or multi-lane road separated by a barrier).

System servicing/repairs

- In the event of an impact, the radar and/or camera alignment may be changed and its operation may consequently be af-

fected. Deactivate the system and consult an authorised dealer.

- Any work in the proximity of the radar and/or camera (replacements, repairs, windscreen modifications, paintwork etc.) must

be carried out by a qualified professional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

Deactivating the function

You must disable the function if:

- the vehicle is travelling on a windy road;

- the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);

- the vehicle is towing a trailer or a caravan;

- the vehicle is being driven in a tunnel or close to a metallic structure;

- the vehicle arrives at a toll point, a roadwork area or on a narrow lane;

- the vehicle is being driven up or down a very steep slope;

- the visibility is poor (glaring sun, fog etc.);

- the vehicle is being driven on a slippery road surface (rain, snow, gravel, etc.);

- the weather conditions are poor (rain, snow, side winds, etc.);

- the radar area has been damaged (impacts etc.) ;

- the camera area has been damaged (e.g. on the inside or outside of the windscreen);

- the windscreen is cracked or distorted.

In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.

2.106

CarManuals2.co

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (14/14)

In the event of system disturbance

Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such as:

- the windscreen or bumper is obscured in the area of the radar (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation, number plate etc.);

- a complex environment (tunnel etc.);

- poor weather conditions (snow, heavy rain, hail, black ice, etc.);

- poor visibility (night, fog etc.);

- poor contrast between the vehicle preceding it and the surrounding area (e.g. white vehicle in a snowy area etc.);

- being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposite direction etc.);

- narrow, winding or undulating road (tight bends etc.);

- a slower vehicle with a significant difference in speed;

- use of mats not adapted to the vehicle. On the driver’s side, only use mats suitable for the vehicle, attached with the pre-

fitted components, and check the fitting regularly. Do not lay one mat on top of another. There is a risk of wedging the

pedals.

In these cases, the system may wrongly intervene.

Risk of unwanted braking or acceleration.

Many unforeseen situations may affect the system operation. Certain objects or vehicles that can appear in the camera or

radar detection zone may be interpreted by the system incorrectly, possibly leading to inappropriate acceleration or braking.

You should always be attentive to sudden events that might occur while you are driving. Always keep your vehicle

under control by keeping your feet near the pedals, so that you are ready to act in any event.

The “Motorway and Traffic Assistant” uses the “Stop and Go adaptive cruise control” function and the “Lane Centring” function.

It must only be used on a motorway or multi-lane road (separated by a barrier).

It must not be used in heavy traffic, on winding or slippery roads (black ice, aquaplaning, gravel) or during bad weather (fog,

- the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);

- the vehicle is being driven with an emergency spare wheel;

- the vehicle is towing a trailer or a caravan;

- the vehicle is being driven in a tunnel or close to a metallic structure;

- the vehicle arrives at a toll point, a roadwork area or on a narrow lane;

- the vehicle is being driven up or down a very steep slope;

- the visibility is poor (glaring sun, fog etc.);

- the weather conditions are poor (rain, snow, side winds, etc.);

- the vehicle is being driven on a slippery road surface (rain, snow, gravel, etc.);

- the area of the camera has been damaged (e.g. on the inside or outside of the windscreen);

- the windscreen is cracked or distorted;

MOTORWAY AND TRAFFIC ASSISTANT (16/16)

Some conditions can disrupt or damage the operation of the system, for example:

- obstruction of the windscreen or the radar area (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation etc.) Frequently check the cleanli-

ness and condition of the windscreen, front wiper blades and front bumper;

- a complex environment (tunnel etc.);

- poor weather conditions (snow, heavy rain, hail, black ice, etc.);

- poor visibility (night, fog etc.);

- poor contrast between the vehicle preceding it and the surrounding area (e.g. white vehicle in a snowy area etc.) ;

- being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposite direction etc.);

- narrow, winding or undulating road (tight bends etc.);

- the tar lines detected as a line by the system;

- narrowing/widening lanes;

- road markings which are worn, lacking in contrast or very widely spaced from one another (lines partially erased etc);

- multiple markings on the road (roadworks area, slip roads connecting to adjacent motorways, hard shoulder etc.);

- a slower vehicle with a significant difference in speed;

- use of mats not adapted to the vehicle. On the driver’s side, only use mats suitable for the vehicle, attached with the pre-

fitted components, and check the fitting regularly. Do not lay one mat on top of another. There is a risk of wedging the

pedals.

In these cases, the system may wrongly intervene.

- Risk of unwanted braking or acceleration.

- Risk of unwanted, incorrect correction or no correction of trajectory.

Many unforeseen situations may affect the system operation. Certain objects or vehicles that can appear in the camera or
