Activating ATTENTION ASSIST
XActivate ATTENTION ASSIST using the on-
board computer (Ypage 197).
The system determines the attention level of
the driver depending on the setting selected:

À symbol and OFF appear in the multifunc-
tion display in the assistance display when the
engine is running.
When ATTENTION ASSIST has been deactivated,
it is automatically reactivated after the engine
has been stopped. The sensitivity selected cor-
responds to the last selection activated (stand-
ard/sensitive).
