What it means What to do
amberDRIVING ADVISOR
The two warning lights on indicate that the system has
started recognising the operating conditions.
When the system recognises the operating conditions,
it becomes active, i.e. it can assist the driver with
visual and acoustic warnings. Therefore, the warning
lights switch off.
IMPORTANT If the operating conditions are no longer
present, the system is engaged but inactive, and
therefore the two warning lights on the panel switch
on.
When the system is active, if the vehicle gets close to
one of the side limit lines or one of the two
demarcation lines of the lane, the driver is warned with
an acoustic signal along with the direction warning
light (right or left) on the panel lighting up.
A system failure is indicated by the two direction
indicator lights
andon the display turning on
together with a buzzer and a dedicated message.
