Using information from the 1 camera, 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 activating the direction indicator lights.

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

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

or

  • performs corrective action on the steering system.
tip
You can retake control of the vehicle at any time by operating the steering wheel.

Activating, deactivating the system using the switch 3My Safety

The function can be deactivated or activated using the "Perso" mode of the "My Safety" function My Safety. If the function has previously been deactivated from "Perso" mode:

  • To deactivate the function, if it has previously been deactivated from the "Perso" mode of the "My Safety" function My Safety, press twice on the switch 3. The warning light is displayed in yellow on the instrument panel.
  • To reactivate the function, press the 3switch once. Warning light comes on the instrument panel.

Operation

When the function is activated, the warning light and the left-hand and right-hand line indicators 4 are displayed in grey on the instrument panel.

The function is ready to warn or operate when the speed is between approximately 40 mph (65 km/h) and 106 mph (170 km/h) and the warning light and the right-hand or left-hand line indicators 4 appear in white on the instrument panel.

The function is in operation if the vehicle:

  • approaches a roadside without activating the direction indicators;
  • crosses a continuous line without activating the direction indicators;
  • crosses a broken line without activating the direction indicators, if the "Operation on broken line" 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 appears in yellow and the indicator 4 on the side of the breached line changes to yellow on the instrument panel.

If the corrective action on the steering system is not sufficient, the warning light appears in red and the indicator light 4 on the side of the breached line change to red on the instrument panel. This is accompanied by a vibration on the steering wheel.

If the "Dashed line intervention" setting is not selected, the function sounds the alarm if the vehicle crosses a broken 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 appears in red and the indicator 4 on the side of the breached line changes to red on the instrument panel.

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

Special case

"Keep control" warning

  • If the system is operating and does not detect any driver activity on the steering wheel, the "Keep control" message appears on the instrument panel accompanied by a beep and the 2_ALL_360_1_pictogramme.png warning light appears in yellow until the driver has regained control of the vehicle.
  • If the system has been in operation for too long, the "Keep control" message appears on the instrument panel accompanied by a beep and the 2_ALL_360_1_pictogramme.png warning light appears in yellow accompanied by the indicator 4 on the side of the line concerned until the driver has regained control of the vehicle.
tip
You can interrupt the trajectory correction at any time by moving the steering wheel.

Function temporarily unavailable/disabled

The system is temporarily unavailable or disabled when:

  • 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;
  • activating the hazard warning lights;
  • engaging reverse gear;
  • strong acceleration;
  • the lane width changes;
  • operation of the anti-lock braking system;
  • operation of the electronic stability control ESC;
  • operation of the anti-lock braking system.

When the function is not available, the warning light changes to grey on the instrument panel.

Automatic deactivation

The function is automatically deactivated when:

  • the electronic stability control ESC is deactivated or malfunctions;
  • the anti-lock braking system is malfunctioning;
  • A towbar is electrically connected to the trailer hitch socket;
  • the 2_ALL_116_1_pictogramme.png warning light is displayed.

  • "Dashed line intervention": use this setting to select the function's response if the vehicle crosses a broken line without activating one of the direction indicators:
    • selected setting: the function may trigger an action on the vehicle's steering system to correct the vehicle trajectory;
    • setting not selected: the function can warn the driver by means of a vibration at the steering wheel without correcting the vehicle trajectory.
  • "Vibration": adjust the "Lane departure prevention" function steering wheel vibration level;
  • depending on the vehicle, "Lane exit anticipation" or "Warning": adjust the line detection sensitivity level. To do this, select:
    • "Late": line detected on crossing;
    • "Standard": line detected on approach;

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 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, 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 departure prevention" function may be activated 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 repairs 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.).
