Driving
Malfunction
A system malfunction is indicated
by the Service warning lamp
coming on and this (orange) symbol,
accompanied by an alert message and an
audible signal.
Active Lane Keeping
Assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Using a camera located at the top of the
windscreen to identify lane markings on the road
and at the edges of the road (depending on
version), the system corrects the trajectory of the
vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects a risk
of unintentionally crossing a line or hard shoulder
(depending on version).
This system is particularly useful on motorways
and main roads.
Conditions for operation
– Vehicle speed between 40 and 112 mph (65
and 180 km/h).
– Road marked with a central dividing line.
– Steering wheel held in both hands.
– Direction indicators not activated.
– ESC system activated and operational.
The system helps the driver only if there
is a risk of the vehicle unintentionally
wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It
does not manage the safe driving distance,
vehicle speed or brakes.
The driver must hold the steering wheel with
both hands in a way that allows control to
be maintained in circumstances where the
system is not able to intervene (for example, if
the central dividing line disappears).
Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected or a lane limit (e.g. grass border), it
makes the necessary trajectory correction to
return the vehicle to its initial path.
The driver will notice a turning movement of the
steering wheel.
This warning lamp flashes during
trajectory correction.
The driver can prevent the correction by
keeping a firm grip on the wheel (during
an avoiding manoeuvre, for example).
The correction is interrupted immediately if
the direction indicators are operated.
While the direction indicators are on and for
a few seconds after switching them off, the
system considers that any change of trajectory is
intentional and no correction is triggered during
this period.
However, with the Blind Spot Monitoring System
system activated, if the driver starts changing
lanes and another vehicle is detected in the
vehicle's blind spot, the system will correct the
trajectory even though the direction indicators
are on.
For more information on the Blind Spot
Monitoring System , refer to the corresponding
section.
If the system detects that the driver is not
holding the wheel firmly enough during
an automatic correction of trajectory, it
interrupts the correction. An alert is triggered
to encourage the driver to take back control of
the vehicle.
Driving situations and related alerts
The table below describes the alerts and messages displayed in different driving situations.
These alerts are not displayed sequentially.
Function status Indicator lamp Display and/or associated
message
Comments
OFF
(grey)
Function deactivated.
ON
(grey)
System active, conditions not met:
– speed below 40 mph (65 km/h),
– no lane marking recognised,
– ASR/DSC systems deactivated or operation of ESC
system triggered,
– "sport" driving.
ON
(grey)
Automatic deactivation/standby of the function (for
example, due to detection of a trailer or use of the "space-
saver" spare wheel provided with the vehicle).
ON
(green)
Lane marking detection.
Speed above 40 mph (65 km/h).
ON
(orange)/(green)
The system corrects the trajectory on the side where the
risk of unintentional crossing is detected (orange line).
