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

Depending on the setting, in the event of crossing a dashed line without activating the direction indicator lights, the function:

  • warns the driver without corrective action on the steering system;

When the function is deactivated, the warning light 1_ALL_799_1_pictogramme.png is displayed in yellow on the instrument panel.

Operation

When the function is activated, the 2_ALL_377_1_pictogramme.png warning light and the left-hand and right-hand line indicators 8 are displayed in grey on the instrument panel.

The function is set to operate when:

  • the vehicle speed is between approximately 40 mph (65 km/h) and 106 mph (170 km/h);

  • the warning light 2_ALL_377_1_pictogramme.png and the left-hand or right-hand line indicators 8 appear in white on the instrument panel.

The function intervenes if the vehicle:

  • approaches a roadside without activating the direction indicators;
  • crosses a continuous line without activating the direction indicators;
  • crosses a dashed line without activating the direction indicators, if the « Dashed line Intervention » setting is selected.

In these cases:

  • the function triggers an action on the vehicle's steering system to correct the vehicle trajectory;

and

  • the warning light 2_ALL_377_1_pictogramme.png is displayed in yellow and the indicator 8 for the crossed line turn yellow on the instrument panel.

If corrective action taken on the steering system is not sufficient, the warning light 2_ALL_377_1_pictogramme.png is displayed in red and the indicator 8 on the side of the crossed line turns to red on the instrument panel. This is accompanied by a vibration on the steering wheel.

When the « Dashed line Intervention » setting is not selected, if the vehicle crosses a dashed line without activating the indicator lights, and there is no roadside close enough to the line.

In this case, the function warns the driver:

  • by a vibration in the steering wheel;

and

  • the warning light 2_ALL_377_1_pictogramme.png is displayed in red and the indicator 8 on the side of the crossed line turns red on the instrument panel.

Note: in curves, the function allows to slightly cut the turn.

Special case

« Keep control » warning

  • If the system is in intervention and no longer detects driver activity on the steering wheel, the « Keep control » message appears on the instrument panel accompanied by an audible signal and the yellow warning light 2_ALL_360_1_pictogramme.png appears until the driver has taken control of the vehicle.
  • If the system has been in intervention for too long, the message « Keep control » will appear on the instrument panel accompanied by an audible signal and the yellow warning light 2_ALL_360_1_pictogramme.png and the flashing indicator 8 on the side of the relevant sideline, until the driver has taken control of the vehicle.
