warning

Make sure the front camera and front radar are clean. The radar and camera zones must be kept clean and free of any tampering in order to ensure the proper operation of the system. Dirty front camera and front radar, as well as environmental conditions such as rain and dim lanes, can affect the performance of active driver assist.

warning

The "Active driver assist" is an additional driving aid. It can under no circumstances replace the driver's responsibility to respect speed limits and safe distances and to be vigilant. The driver must always hold the steering wheel with both hands to control the vehicle.

This feature is only suitable for use on highways or roads with limited access, and requires the driver to remain focused on driving.

When using active driver assist, keep your hands on the steering wheel and pay attention to the road and surrounding traffic. Do not use this feature on city streets, construction zones, or roads with cyclists or pedestrians. Do not rely on active driver assist to determine an appropriate driving route. Always be prepared to take immediate action. Failure to follow these instructions can result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

Active driver assist is a convenience system, not an emergency warning and collision avoidance system. Drivers must drive according to the law.

Active driver assist does not operate against vehicles or objects crossing the driveway.

Changes in vehicle attitude due to excessive loads can reduce the functionality of the system or render it inoperable.

If another vehicle crosses into the lane in front of your vehicle at a low speed, it may be too late for the system to respond. The driver must apply the brakes in time.

When accelerating suddenly and approaching a vehicle in front of you at high speed (a clear speed difference with the vehicle in front of you), the driver must brake in time.

The driver must adjust the following distance according to the flow of traffic ahead, weather conditions (rain, snow, etc.), and set the system appropriately. To ensure safety, the driver must be in active control of the vehicle at all times.

It is the driver's responsibility to maintain a distance from the vehicle ahead.

When driving on a steep downhill grade, it may be difficult to maintain the proper distance from the vehicle in front of you. You should be especially careful in these situations and be prepared to apply the brakes at any time. Do not use the system under heavy loads or severe conditions.

The active driver assist system may not be able to recognize pedestrians, tricycles, irregularly shaped loads, or deformed vehicles.

When driving with the active driver assist system active, it cannot recognize stationary, slow, and oncoming vehicles. In these cases, the driver must react appropriately and Emergency Brake Assist may be activated.

If active driver assist is activated when the vehicle is stationary, the system can recognize stationary obstacles ahead and hold the vehicle stationary to ensure a safe departure. Obstacles include, but are not limited to, speed bumps, trees, people, railings, etc.

If the driver presses the accelerator pedal when the system is engaged, the driver takes control of the vehicle and the system's speed control is disabled.

Target selection may be delayed or interrupted when entering or exiting curves. The system may brake unexpectedly or brake late.

In some cases (such as when the speed of the vehicle in front of you is too slow compared to your vehicle, or when the vehicle in front of you is close to your lane), the system does not have enough time to reduce its relative speed. In these cases, you must react appropriately.

If the vehicle in front of you suddenly brakes, the system may not react in a timely manner or may react too slowly. In this case, the driver may lose control of the vehicle and may need Emergency Brake Assist.

When making sharp turns, for example on winding roads, the system may not be able to properly detect the vehicle in front of you due to the limitations of the front radar's field of view, causing the vehicle to accelerate. The driver must react appropriately based on the actual situation.

If the distance between the driving vehicle and the adjacent lane is too small or the vehicle in the adjacent lane is too close to the driving vehicle's lane, the system may react and apply the brakes.

If a vehicle in the adjacent lane jumps into the path of the driving vehicle, detection can be affected or delayed in some environments, such as low reflectivity of targets (pedestrians, two-wheelers, tricycles), electromagnetic interference, etc. The system may not be able to identify the target or accurately calculate the distance to the vehicle in front of it. In these situations, the system becomes unresponsive or experiences brake delays. The driver must actively control the vehicle.

The view of the front camera, front radar, and rear radar must not be blocked by contaminants, especially if they are completely covered by snow. The system shuts down, and shutdown information is displayed to the driver on the instrument panel.

The installation of the front camera, front radar, and rear radar may be affected by vibration or shock, which can degrade system performance. If this occurs, the front camera, front radar, and rear radar must be recalibrated.

Drivers should be especially careful in the following situations

• The driver must ensure that the area ahead is clear before activating the active driver assist system. If the active driver assist system is activated (ON) and then departs, it may not be able to detect and identify pedestrians, children, animals, two-wheelers, tricycles, or obstacles in front of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a serious collision.
• If your vehicle is moving at a high speed, the active driver assist system automatically accelerates your vehicle and shortens the distance to the vehicle in front of you when the left turn signal illuminates when passing on the left. If your vehicle enters the passing lane and there is no vehicle in front of you, the system accelerates to the set cruise control speed.

• The system cannot detect loaded items or mounted accessories protruding from the sides, rear, or roof of the target vehicle. The system should be turned off when the vehicle in front of you is carrying any of the special loads mentioned above or when overtaking such vehicles.

• Road construction rails or metal objects can interfere with the forward radar and cause malfunctions.
• Towing a trailer reduces the dynamics of the active driver assist system.
• For your safety, do not use the system in poor visibility, on slopes, curves, or on slippery roads (such as snow, ice, moisture, or waterlogged areas).
• If the vehicle continues to move after the system asks the driver to take control of the vehicle, the driver must press the brake pedal.
• If the instrument panel prompts the driver to take control of the vehicle, the driver must immediately adjust the distance to the vehicle in front of them.
• The driver must always be ready to take control of the vehicle by accelerating or braking.
• The front radar is mounted under the front bumper. If the front radar is covered with dirt and the system is unable to operate, a message displays on the instrument panel. Clean it in time or have it checked by an authorized workshop.
• Make sure that objects such as license plates do not obstruct the front radar in front of and around it, otherwise the system may be affected.
• For vehicles that have been structurally modified, lowering the chassis height or changing the front license plate mounting board may affect the system.
• If the front camera is impaired, the system may be affected and unavailable in low light, directly under strong light, obstructed by objects, or in conditions where the light changes frequently.

In the following road conditions, active driver assist's steering assistance may be degraded or may not work. Drivers should pay attention to the following

• The active driver assist system cannot be applied to curves with excessively small curve radii.
• The active driver assist system is not applicable on roads where lanes are not visible.
• The active driver assist system does not apply at intersections.
• The active driver assist system cannot be applied on roads with vehicle markings (e.g., tyre tracks).
• The active driver assist system does not apply on roads with an increasing or decreasing number of lanes.
• The active driver assist system does not apply on roads where the difference between the original lane and the new lane is large.
• The active driver assist system can recognize road edges (walls, guardrails, curbs, greenbelts, asphalt joints) as working lanes.
• The active driver assist system is not applicable to pavement with potholes, irregularities, or undulations.
• The active driver assist system does not recognize road markings (such as traffic safety cones) and cannot be applied in construction pavement areas.
• The active driver assist system cannot be applied to very wide or very narrow roads.
• The active driver assist system does not work on zigzagging roads.
• The active driver assist system is not applicable in inclement weather and reduced visibility conditions.

When the active driver assist system follows the vehicle in front of you through an intersection, the vehicle moves sideways with the vehicle in front of you. The driver must supervise and control the feature due to the risk of side collisions with oncoming traffic.

At freeway or arterial entrances, road changes may prevent the active driver assist system from changing lanes and reduce its functionality.

The active driver assist system cannot operate in complex road conditions (e.g., heavily congested roads, complex traffic changes, intersections, ramps, roads with reduced lanes, etc. The active driver assist system provides a comfortable experience only in suitable road conditions. The driver must assume full responsibility for safe driving.

The front camera is mounted behind the windshield of your vehicle. Make sure that the view of the front camera is not obstructed by contaminants or interfered with by strong light. Otherwise, the system may not function. A message is displayed on the instrument panel to remind the driver to wipe the area in front of the front camera windshield or to avoid dark environments and direct sunlight. The loss of functionality of the front camera is a general protection and reminder in certain situations. Drivers can avoid dark environments and direct sunlight without obstructing the view of the front camera.

The driving assistance system takes control of the brakes when necessary, which may result in an audible brake application.

warning

Even if you initiate an automatic lane change by engaging your turn signal according to the instructions, if the system determines that the lane change cannot be performed safely, or if you intervene, it aborts the lane change attempt and returns you to your original lane.

This can only work if the travel lane is a white dashed line, otherwise (solid white line, etc.) the system cannot operate.

You should always be alert, as unexpected events or errors in the system can disengage the system during a lane change.

warning

Use automatic lane change assist only when driving on the mainline of a freeway or urban expressway. In other cases, it may not function properly and there is a risk of an accident. Accidents and damages caused by incorrect use of this function are not warranted.

warning

The "Active driver assist" is an additional driving aid and cannot replace the driver.

Drivers are responsible for adhering to speed limits and paying attention while driving. The driver must always adapt their speed to the highway code and traffic conditions, regardless of system indications, and must not drive relying on this feature under any circumstances. You must always be ready to apply the brakes.

The driver must always adapt their trajectory and speed according to the surroundings and driving conditions, regardless of system indications.

This system is system is a driving aid for use outside urban areas, on wide roads with visible lines, and is available while intelligent adaptive cruise control is engaged, specifically for highways or multi-lane roads with separated lanes on both sides.

It must not be used in heavy traffic, on winding or slippery roads (black ice, aquaplaning, gravel) or during bad weather (fog, rain, side winds etc.).

There is a risk of accidents.

Depending on road conditions and the surrounding environment, the system may disengage, fail to operate, or operate unnecessarily, so you should keep your feet near the pedals and your hands on the steering wheel at all times to be prepared for any eventuality.

Warnings may not function properly if objects are attached to the steering wheel.

The driver must always adapt their trajectory and speed according to the surroundings and driving conditions, regardless of system indications.

Except for lines delimiting lanes and the speed limit signs within the limits of the system's detection capacity, the road sign information (other traffic signs, traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, etc.) are not recognised by the system. These do not trigger any alert or reaction by the system.

The "Active driver assist" uses the "Intelligent adaptive cruise control" and "Lane centring" functions. The system should under no circumstances be taken to be an obstacle detector or an anti-collision system.

Use the "Active driver assist" only outside built-up areas, on wide roads with visible lines.

There is a risk of accidents.

System servicing/repairs

• In the event of an impact, the radar and/or camera alignment may be changed and its operation may consequently be affected. Deactivate the system and consult an authorised dealer.
• Any work in the proximity of the radar and/or camera (replacements, repairs, windscreen modifications, paintwork etc.) must be carried out by a qualified professional.

Only an approved dealer is qualified to service the system.

Deactivating the system

You must deactivate the system if:

• In high winds;
• the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);
• When the spare tyre is mounted;
• the vehicle is towing a trailer or a caravan;
• the vehicle is being driven in a tunnel or close to a metallic structure;
• the vehicle arrives at a toll point, a roadwork area or on a narrow lane;
• the vehicle is being driven up or down a very steep slope;
• the visibility is poor (glaring sun, fog, etc.);
• the weather conditions are poor (rain, snow, side winds, etc.);
• the vehicle is being driven on a slippery road surface (rain, snow, gravel, etc.);
• the camera area has been damaged (e.g. interior or exterior windscreen area); the windscreen is cracked or distorted;
• the radar area has been damaged (impacts, etc.);
• the surface of the steering wheel is damaged or damp.

In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and contact an authorised dealer.

Some conditions can disrupt or damage the system operation, for example:

• obstruction of the windscreen or the radar area (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation etc.) Frequently check the cleanliness and condition of the windscreen, front wiper blades and front bumper;
• a complex environment (tunnel, etc.);
• poor weather conditions (snow, heavy rain, hail, black ice, etc.);
• poor visibility (night, fog, etc.);
• poor contrast between the vehicle preceding it and the surrounding area (e.g. white vehicle in a snowy area, etc.);
• being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposite direction; etc.);
• narrow, winding or undulating road (tight bends, etc.);
• the tar lines detected as a line by the system;
• narrowing/widening lanes;
• road markings which are worn, lacking in contrast or very widely spaced from one another (lines partially erased; etc.);
• multiple markings on the road (roadworks area, slip roads connecting to adjacent motorways, hard shoulder, etc.);
• a vehicle with a significant difference in speed;
• use of mats not adapted to the vehicle. On the driver's side, only use mats suitable for the vehicle, attached with the prefitted components, and check the fitting regularly. Do not lay one mat on top of another. There is a risk of wedging the pedals.

In these cases:

• Risk of unwanted braking or acceleration.
• Risk of unwanted, incorrect correction or no correction of trajectory.

Many unforeseen situations may affect the system operation. Certain objects or vehicles that can appear in the camera or radar detection zone may be interpreted by the system incorrectly, possibly leading to inappropriate acceleration or braking.

You should always be attentive to sudden events that might occur while you are driving. Always maintain your vehicle under control by keeping your feet near the pedals and your hands on the steering wheel, so that you are ready to act in any event.
