System servicing/repairs

- In the event of an impact, the camera alignment may be changed, and its operation may consequently be affected. Deactivate

In the event of system disturbance

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

- windscreen obscured (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation etc.);

- a complex environment (tunnel etc.);

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

- poor visibility (night, fog etc.);

- the road markings are irregular or difficult to distinguish (e.g. partially erased, excessive spacing, distorted road surface) ;

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

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

- closely following a vehicle travelling in the same lane.

BLIND SPOT WARNING (5/6)

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, regardless of the system indications.

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

System servicing/repairs

- In the event of an impact, the alignment of the ultrasonic sensors may be altered and its operation may consequently be af-

fected. Deactivate the function and consult an authorised dealer.

- Any work in the area where the ultrasonic sensors are located (repairs, replacements etc.) must be carried out by a qualified

professional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

System disturbance

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

- complex surroundings (metal bridges, tunnels, roads with barriers at the edge, etc.);

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

Risk of false alarms or absence of warnings

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

2.45

CarManuals2.co

BLIND SPOT WARNING (6/6)

Limitation of the system operation

- The ultrasonic detection zones should be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure the proper op-

eration of the system.

- Small objects moving close to the vehicle (motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.) may not be recognised by the system.

- When turning into a bend, the ultrasonic sensors may temporarily cease to detect vehicles in adjacent lanes.

- The function may warn you late if two other vehicles are approaching from the rear, driving side by side in the adjacent lanes

(i.e. driving on a 3-lane road) at a much higher speed than your vehicle.

- The system may not provide a warning when the other vehicles are travelling at a significantly different speed.

- If the vehicle is being overtaken by a long vehicle (e.g. heavy goods vehicle overtaking at a similar speed to the vehicle) the

system may interrupt the warning before the end of the manoeuvre.

- The vehicle is travelling on a winding road.

Deactivating the function

You must disable the function if:

- the ultrasonic sensor zones have been damaged (front and rear bumpers);

- the vehicle is fitted with a towbar that is not recognised by the system.

2.46

SAFE DISTANCE WARNING (1/4)

The function is activated when the vehi-

system has detected an operating fault.

Consult an approved dealer.

The possible causes are:

- the system is temporarily blinded

(glare from the sun, dipped beam

headlights, bad weather conditions

etc.). The system will be operational

again when visibility conditions are

better;

- the system is temporarily interrupted

(e.g. the windscreen or the front or

rear bumper is obscured by dirt,

mud, snow, condensation, etc.). In

this case, park the vehicle and switch

off the engine. Clean the windscreen

and front bumper. When you next

start the engine, the warning light

and the message go out.

If this is not the case, this may arise from

another cause; contact an Approved

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (5/6)

Active emergency braking

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 triggering of this function may be

delayed or prevented when the system detects clear signs of control of the vehicle by the driver (action on the steer-

ing wheel, pedals etc.).

The system cannot be activated:

- when the gearbox lever is in neutral or the clutch pedal has been depressed during approximately ten seconds;

- when the parking brake is activated;

- when the Electronic Stability Program (ESC) has started.

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 function and consult an authorised dealer.

- Any work in the area where the radar and/or camera is located (repairs, replacements, windscreen modifications, etc.) must

be carried out by a qualified professional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

System disturbance

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

- a complex environment (metal bridge, tunnel etc.);

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

- poor visibility (night, fog etc.) ;

- poor contrast between an object (vehicle, etc.) and the surrounding area (e.g. white vehicle in snowy conditions, etc.) ;

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

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

- ...

In these conditions, the system may not react, may warn the driver or may brake inadvertently.

2.55

CarManuals2.co

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (6/6)

Limitation of the system operation

- Each time the vehicle is started, the system carries out a calibration according to the vehicle surroundings and may

be inactive for a length of time between approximately two to five minutes.

- A vehicle travelling in the opposite direction will not trigger any alert or any action on the system operation.

- The radar and camera zones must be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure that the system operates

correctly.

- The system cannot respond to small vehicles such as motorbikes or bicycles as effectively as to other vehicles;

- The system may not operate optimally when the road surface is slippery (rain, snow, black ice etc.) ;

- ...

In these conditions, the system may not react, may warn the driver or may brake inadvertently.

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;

- ...
