Operation
When the function is activated, the cor-
rection indicators 4 for the left and right
lines are displayed in grey on the instru-
ment panel.
The function is set to react if:
– speed is between about 43.4 mph (70 km/h) and 99.2 mph (160 km/h);
and
– the correction indicators 4 are green.
The function reacts if the vehicle ap-
proaches or crosses a line without ac-
tivation of the indicator lights. In these
cases:
– the function triggers corrective action on the vehicle’s steering system and
trajectory;
– the indicator 4 on the same side as
the crossed side line turns orange on
the instrument panel.
Note: on bends, the function allows for
slightly cutting the bend.
The function is deactivated by de-
fault every time the engine is started.
You can retake control of the ve-
hicle at any time by operating the
steering wheel.
When Lane Keeping Assist is activated,
the “Lane Departure Warning” function
is automatically activated (please refer
to the information on “Lane Departure
Warning” in Section 2).

2.53
– only one line is detected;
– very fast lane departure;
– driving continuously near a line;
– impaired visibility;
– 4 seconds approximately after changing lanes;
– during tight bends;
– the lane width is too narrow;
– ...
When the function is unavailable, the
correction indicators are displayed in
grey on the instrument panel.
LANE KEEPING ASSIST (3/4)
Adjustment
From the multifunction screen 2,
select “Vehicle”, “Driving assistance”,
“SETTINGS”:
“SENSITIVITY”: adjust the sensitiv- ity level for line detection. To do this,
select:
– “Low”: line detected when cross-
ing;

proach;
– “high”: line detected nearby.
Operating faults
In the event of a malfunction, the left-
hand and right-hand correction indica-
tors disappear or remain grey on the in-
strument panel.
In some cases, they are accompanied
by the message “Check Lane Keeping”
or the
© warning light on the in-
strument panel.
Consult an approved dealer.
2Special case
When the function is set to react or it
reacts and cannot detect any further
action from the driver on the steering
wheel:
– the message “Keep control” appears on the instrument panel;
– the right-hand and left-hand correc- tion indicators turn orange;
– a beep sounds.
If the driver does not take action, the
system may switch off the warnings
above and make the function unavail-
able until the next action of the driver on
the steering wheel.
Conditions in which the
function is not available
– Correction indicators activated or having been activated approximately
four seconds prior to crossing the
line;
– the driver’s hands are not on the steering wheel;

2.54
This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due\
care
and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.
System servicing/repairs
– In the event of an impact, the camera alignment may be changed, and its \
operation may consequently be affected. Deactivate the function and consult an authorised dealer.
– Any work in the area where the camera is located (repairs, replacements\
, windscreen modifications etc.) must be carried out by a qualified professional.
Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.
In the event of system disturbance
Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such \
as:
– windscreen obscured (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation etc.);
– a complex environment (tunnel etc.);
– poor weather conditions (snow, hail, black ice etc.);
– poor visibility (night, fog etc.);
– road markings which are worn, lacking in contrast or very widely spaced \
from one another (lines partially erased etc);
– being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposi\
te direction etc.);
– the road is narrow, winding or undulating (tight bends etc.);
– closely following a vehicle travelling in the same lane.
In this case, the “Lane Keeping Assist” may react incorrectly or not at all.
Risk of unwanted, incorrect correction or no correction of trajectory.
Deactivating the function
You must disable the function if:
– the area of the camera has been damaged (on the windscreen side or the \
interior rear-view mirror side);
– the road is slippery (snow, black ice, aquaplaning, gravel etc.) ;
– poor visibility (night, fog etc.);
– the windscreen is cracked or distorted (do not carry out windscreen rep\
airs in this area; have it changed by an Authorised Dealer);
– the vehicle is towing a trailer or a caravan;
– the vehicle is entering an area with several surface markings (an area \
with road works etc.).

BLIND SPOT WARNING (1/4)
This system alerts the driver to other
vehicles in the detection zone A.
The system is activated when the vehi-
cle’s speed is between approximately
30 km/h (19 mph) and 140 km/h (87
mph).
This function uses sensors 1 installed in
the front and rear bumper of both sides.

A
Special featureMake sure that the sensors are not ob-
scured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
If a sensor is obscured, the message
“Blind spot clean sensor” will appear on
the instrument panel. Clean the sen-
sors.
AThis function is an addi-
tional aid which indicates
other vehicles in the blind
spot area.
It can never in any case be a sub-
stitute for care nor for the driver’s
responsibility while in charge of his
vehicle.
The driver should always be ready
for sudden incidents while driv-
ing: always ensure that there are
no small, narrow moving obstacles
(such as a child, animal, pushchair,
bicycle, stone, post etc.) in the blind
spot when manoeuvring.

BLIND SPOT WARNING (3/4)
Operation
This function gives a warning:
– when the vehicle speed is between approximately 19 mph (30 km/h) and
87 mph (140 km/h);
– when another vehicle is in the blind spot area and travelling in the same
direction as your vehicle.
If your vehicle is overtaking another ve-
hicle, the indicator 6 will be activated
only if that vehicle remains in the blind
spot for more than one second.
Indicator 6
An indicator light 6 is located on each
door mirror 7.
Note: clean the door mirrors 7 regularly
so that the indicators 6 can be seen.
Display B
The function is activated and has not
detected any vehicles.
Display C
First warning: the indicator 6 means
that a vehicle has been detected in the
blind spot.
Display D
When the direction indicator is acti-
vated, the indicator light 6 flashes when
a vehicle is detected in the blind spot on
the side towards which you are about to
steer. If you cancel the direction indica-
tor, the function will return to the initial
warning (display C).

The system’s detection range oper-
ates according to a standard lane
width. If you are driving in narrow
traffic lanes, it may detect vehicles
in other lanes.

Operating faults
If the system detects a fault, the mes-
sage “Check blind spot alert” is dis-
played on the instrument panel. Consult
an approved dealer.
Note: when the engine is started, the
indicator light 6, display B , flashes
three times. It is normal.
– The system’s detection
range operates according
to a standard lane width. If
you are driving in wide traf-
fic lanes, the system might not
be able to detect a vehicle in the
blind spot.
– The system might be disrupted momentarily if it is exposed to
strong electromagnetic waves
(as beneath high-tension power
lines) or to very poor weather
conditions (heavy rain, snow
etc.). Remain aware of driving
conditions.
There is a risk of accidents.
BLIND SPOT WARNING (4/4)
Because sensors have
been installed in the bump-
ers, any work (repairs, re-
placements, touching up of
paintwork) must be carried out by a
qualified professional.

Activating/deactivating the
function
From the multifunction screen 2, select
menu “Vehicle”, “Driving assistance”,
“Distance warning” then choose “ON”
or “OFF”.
Using the information from the radar-
camera

driver of the time interval between him
and the vehicle in front so that a safe
stopping distance between the two ve-
hicles can be maintained.
Note: make sure the windscreen is not
obscured (dirt, mud, snow, condensa-
tion etc.).
The function is activated when the ve-
hicle speed is between about 18.6 and
124 mph (30 and 200 km/h).
When the engine is started, the func-
tion maintains the same status that was
active when the engine was last stop-
ped.

SAFE DISTANCE ALERT (2/3)
The measurement is dis-
played for information only:
the system performs no
action on the vehicle.
This function is not designed for use
in urban conditions or for a dynamic
driving style (sudden cornering, ac-
celeration, braking, etc.), but rather
for stable driving conditions.
The function does not interact with
the braking system.
The windscreen must remain clean
to ensure the correct operation of
the system.
– C (orange): the time interval falls
between around 1 and 2 seconds (in-
sufficient distance between the two
vehicles);
– D (red): the time interval is less than
or equal to around one second (very
insufficient distance between the two
vehicles).
If the interval between the two vehicles
is less than around 0.5 seconds, noti-
fication 4, display D , will flash on the
instrument panel. Under certain condi-
tions, the time interval may not be dis-
played:
– while cornering;
– when changing lane;
– if the vehicle in front is sufficiently far or outside the range of the sensor.
This function is essential if adaptive
cruise control is activated.
On equipped vehicles, some infor-
mation is given on the head-up dis-
play.
