Fatigue detection system
It is recommended that you take a break as soon as you feel tired or at least every two hours.
D epending   on   version,   the   vehicle   either   has   the   "Driving   time   warning   system"   only,   or   this   combined   with   the   "Fatigue   detection   system".
Driving time warning
The system t riggers  a n  a lert  o nce  i t  d etects  t hat  t
he   driver   has   not   taken   a   break   after   two   hours  
o
f   driving   at   a   speed   above   40   mph   (65   km/h).
This
  alert   takes   the   form   of   the   display   of   a  
m
essage   encouraging   you   to   take   a   break,  
a
ccompanied   by   an   audible   signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the 
alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is 
stopped.
The system cannot in any 
circumstances replace the need for 
vigilance
 
on
 
the
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
driver.
Do
 
not
 
take
 
the
 
wheel
 
if
 
you
 
are
 
tired. As soon as the speed of the vehicle 
drops
  below   40   mph   (65   km/h),   the  
s
ystem   goes   into   standby.
The
  driving   time   is   counted   again   once  
t
he   speed   is   above   40   mph   (65   km/h).
The
  system   resets   itself   if   one   of   the   following  c
onditions   is   met:
-
 
e
 ngine   running,   the   vehicle   has   been  
s
tationary for more than 15 minutes,
-
 
t
 he   ignition   has   been   switched   off   for   a   few  
m
inutes,
-
 
t
 he   driver's   seat   belt   is   unfastened   and  
t
heir   door   is   open.
The system is activated or deactivated in the 
touch
 
screen
 
tablet.
Activation / Deactivation
In the Driving  menu, select the " Settings" tab, 
then " Driving aids " and "Fatigue Detection 
System ".

Fatigue detection system
Depending on version, the "Driving time warning   system"   may   be   combined   with   the  
"
Fatigue   detection   system".
Using
  a   camera   placed   at   the   top   of   the  
w
indscreen,   the   system   assesses   the   driver's  
l
evel   of   vigilance   by   identifying   variations   in  
t
rajectory   compared   to   the   lane   markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads 
(speed
  higher   than   40   mph   (65   km/h)).Once the system considers that the behaviour 
of
  the   vehicle   suggests   a   certain   level   of   fatigue  
o
r   inattention   by   the   driver,   it   triggers   the   first  
l
evel   of   alert.
The
  driver   is   then   alerted   by   the   message  
"Ta
k e  c a r e !", accompanied by an audible 
signal.
After
  three   first   level   alerts,   the   system   triggers  
a
  new   alert   with   the   message   "Take a break! ", 
accompanied by a more pronounced audible 
signal. In
  certain   driving   conditions   (poor   road  
s
ur face   or   strong   winds),   the   system  
m
ay   give   alerts   independent   of   the  
d
river's   level   of   vigilance.
The   following   situations   may   inter fere  
w
ith operation of the system or prevent 
it   working:
-  
p
 oor   visibility   (inadequate   lighting  
o
f   the   roadway,   falling   snow,   heavy  
r
ain,   dense   fog,   ...),
-  d azzle   (headlamps   of   an   oncoming  v
ehicle, low sun, reflections on 
a
  damp   road,   leaving   a   tunnel,  
a
lternating   shade   and   light,   ...),
-
 
w
 indscreen area located in front 
of
  the   camera:   dirty,   misted,   frost-
covered,
  snow-covered,   damaged  
o
r   covered   by   a   sticker,
-
 
l
 ane   markings   absent,   worn,  
m

Front parking sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle 
is
  in   front   or   behind. The system will be deactivated 
automatically
  if   a   trailer   is   being  
t
owed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on 
a towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar 
installed
  in   line   with   the   manufacturer's  
r
ecommendations).In bad weather or in winter, ensure 
that the sensors are not covered with 
mud,
  ice   or   snow.   When   reverse   gear   is  
e
ngaged,   an   audible   signal   (long   beep)  
i
ndicates   that   the   sensors   may   be   dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle, 
lorry,
  pneumatic   drill,   etc.)   may   trigger  
t
he   audible   signals   of   the   parking  
s
ensor   system.
As
 
an
 
addition   to   the   rear   parking   sensors,   the  
f
ront
 
parking   sensors   are   triggered   when   an  
o
bstacle is detected in front and the speed of 
the
 
vehicle   remains   below   6   mph   (10   km/h).
The
 
front   parking   sensors   are   interrupted   if  
t
he vehicle stops for more than three seconds 
in
 
for ward   gear,   if   no   further   obstacles   are  
d
etected or when the speed of the vehicle 
exceeds   6   mph   (10   km/h). The   parking   sensors   can   be   deactivated   in   the  
t
ouch   screen   tablet.

 o
f the vehicle (a ladder on the roof, for 
example)
  is   not   taken   into   account   by   the
 P
ark   Assist   system   during   a   manoeuvre.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that 
the sensors are not covered by road 
dirt,
  ice   or   snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system 
checked

The under-inflation alert can only 
be relied on if the reinitialisation of 
the system has been done with the
