Driving
Pausing/Suspension of the
system
The driver must intervene as soon as they
believe that the traffic conditions or state
of the road surface make this necessary
by moving the steering wheel to suspend
the system temporarily. Pressing the brake
pedal to pause the cruise control will also
pause the system.
If the system detects that the driver is
not holding the wheel firmly enough, it
triggers a series of gradual alerts and then
deactivates if there is no reaction from the
driver.
After suspension due to the prolonged
release of pressure holding the steering
wheel, you must reactivate the function by
pressing the button again.
On action by the driver: suspension
- Activation of the direction indicators.
-
Travelling outside the lane limits.
-
Too tight a grip on the steering wheel or
dynamic action on the steering wheel.
- Action on the brake pedal (pausing the
cruise control until its reactivation) or
accelerator pedal (suspension during the
time when the pedal is pressed).
- Pausing the cruise control.
-
Deactivation of the ASR.
Driving situations and
associated alerts
The tables below describe the displays
associated with the main driving situations. The
display of these alerts is not sequential.
Automatic pausing:
- Triggering of the ESC.
-
Prolonged failure to detect one of the lane
markings. In this case, the Active Lane
Departure Warning System can take over,
and the system will reactivate itself once the
operating conditions are regained.
Cruise control
The driver must hold the steering wheel
properly.
When cruise control is activated, the symbol is
displayed in green: by small steering actions,
the system directs the vehicle and keeps it in
the position chosen by the driver, in the traffic
lane. This position is not necessarily the centre
of the lane.
The driver can feel movements in the steering
wheel.
The driver can change the position of the
vehicle at any time, by turning the steering
wheel. When the driver feels that the vehicle's
position is appropriate, whilst keeping hands
on the steering wheel, they must release the
pressure to let the system resume control
of the steering, but the vehicle will not be
automatically centred within the lane.
