STARTING AND DRIVING
152
The Co-Driver system combines the
functions of the Active Cruise Control
(ACC) and lane centring logic to control
the trajectory of the car holding it as
close as possible in the middle of the
lane and also managing speed.
It is a driving assistance system that
can be activated on all road types.
The system uses information from the
front camera to help you keep the car
in the middle of the lane at a constant
speed.
OPERATION
The system only works if the driver
keeps his or her hands on the steering
wheel.
If the system detects that hands have
been removed from the steering wheel,
it will alert you of the need to put your
hands back on the steering wheel (see
following pages).
WARNING The Co-Driver system can
take a few seconds to activate once
all conditions are met. During this
time, a grey indication will appear on
the instrument panel display and the
system will be activated automatically
as soon as all conditions are met,
without any intervention by the driver.
