Using information from the camera 1, the function triggers corrective action on the vehicle steering system when a continuous or broken line is crossed or when approaching the roadside (divider, barrier, pavement, embankment, etc.) without the direction indicator lights being activated.

tip

You can retake control of the vehicle at any time by operating the steering wheel.

Note: make sure the windscreen is not obscured (dirt, mud, snow, condensation, etc.).

warning

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.

Activation/deactivation

(depending on the vehicle)

To activate the function, press the switch 2 as many times as required to select "Lane Keep Assist" on the instrument panel.

The "Lane Keeping Assist" message and the 2_ALL_377_1_pictogramme.png warning light are displayed on the instrument panel.

When Lane Keep Assist is activated, the "Lane Departure Warning" function is automatically activated Lane departure warning.

To deactivate the function, press the switch 2 as many times as required to select "Lane Keep Assist deactivated" on the instrument panel.

Warning light 2_ALL_377_1_pictogramme.png goes out on the instrument panel.

Note: deactivating the "Lane Keep Assist" function causes deactivation of the "Lane Departure Warning" function.

tip

Each time the vehicle is started, the function continues the mode saved the last time the engine was stopped.

Operation

When the function is activated, the 2_ALL_377_1_pictogramme.png and the left-hand and right-hand line indicators 3 are displayed in grey on the instrument panel.

The function is set to intervene when the vehicle speed is between approximately 43 mph (70 km/h) and 112 mph (180 km/h) and if the 2_ALL_377_1_pictogramme.png warning light and the correction indicators 3 are coloured white.

The function operates if the vehicle breaches a line or if the vehicle approaches the roadside (divider, barrier, pavement, embankment, etc.) without the direction indicator lights being activated.

In these cases:

  • the function triggers an action on the vehicle's steering system to correct the vehicle trajectory;
  • the 2_ALL_377_1_pictogramme.png warning light and the indicator 3 on the side of the breached line turns to yellow on the instrument panel.

Note: on bends, the function allows for slightly cutting the bend.

If the corrective action on the steering system is not sufficient, the 2_ALL_377_1_pictogramme.png warning light and the indicator 3 on the side of the breached line change to red on the instrument panel, accompanied by a vibration on the steering wheel.

Special cases

When using the function:

  • If the system can no longer detect any action taken by the driver on the steering wheel, the 2_ALL_360_1_pictogramme.png warning light appears in orange on the instrument panel, accompanied by the message "Keep hands on steering wheel" and a beep.

The beep is emitted along with the warning light and message until the driver takes control of the wheel;

  • if the system is active for too long, an audible warning is emitted and the indicators 3 on the side of the line concerned flash until the driver takes control.
tip

You can interrupt the trajectory correction at any time by moving the steering wheel.

Temporarily not available

  • Very fast lane departure;
  • driving continuously on a line;
  • approximately four seconds after changing lanes;
  • tight bends;
  • impaired visibility;
  • one of the direction indicators is activated;
  • strong acceleration;
  • emergency braking;
  • ...

If the function is unavailable, the 2_ALL_377_1_pictogramme.png warning light and the left-hand and right-hand correction indicators 3 change to grey on the instrument panel.

Conditions for non-activation of the system

The system cannot be activated when:

  • reverse gear is engaged;
  • the field of vision of the camera is obstructed;
  • the 1_ALL_040_1_pictogramme.png warning light is displayed.

The 2_ALL_377_1_pictogramme.png warning light and the left/right line warning lights are displayed in grey on the instrument panel.

Warnings

warning

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 disrupt or damage the system operation, for example:

  • windscreen obscured (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation etc.);
  • a complex environment (tunnel, etc.);
  • poor weather conditions (snow, rain, hail, black ice, etc.);
  • poor visibility (night, fog, etc.);
  • the road markings are irregular or difficult to distinguish (e.g. partially erased, excessive spacing, distorted road surface...);
  • being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposite 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 Keep Assist" function may react incorrectly or not at all.

Risk of unwanted, incorrect correction or no correction of trajectory.

Deactivating the function

You must deactivate 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.);
  • the windscreen is cracked or distorted (do not carry out windscreen repairs in this area; have it changed by an approved 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.).
