Lane departure warning system
System which, using a camera which recognises   solid   or   broken   lines,   detects   the  
i

nvoluntary   crossing   of   longitudinal   traffic   lane  
m

arkings   on   the   ground.
To
  provide   safe   driving,   the   camera   analyses  
t

he   image   then,   if   the   driver's   attention   drops,  
t

riggers   a   warning   if   the   vehicle   drifts   over  
a

  lane   marking   (speed   higher   than   50   mph  
(

80 km/h)).
This
  system   is   particularly   useful   on   motor ways  
a

nd   main   roads. Activation
  and   deactivation   of   the   function   is  
d

one   in   the   "
Driving assistance "   menu   of   the

This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle   (person,   vehicle,   tree,   gate,   etc.)  
w

hich   comes   within   the   field   of   detection   of  
s

ensors   located   in   the   bumper.
Certain
  types   of   obstacle   (stake,   roadworks  
c

one,   etc.)   detected   initially   will   no   longer   be  
d

etected   at   the   end   of   the   manoeuvre   due   to  
t

he   presence   of   blind   spots.
Parking sensors
This function cannot, in any
circumstances,  take   the   place   of   the  
v

igilance   of   the   driver. The
  system   is   switched   on   by   engaging   reverse  
g

ear.   This   is   accompanied   by   an   audible   signal.
The   system   is   switched   off   when   you   come   out  
o

f   reverse   gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an i
ntermittent   audible   signal,   the   frequency   of w

hich increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
The
  sound   emitted   by   the   speaker   (right   or   left)
 i

ndicates   the   side   on   which   the   obstacle   is   located.
When
  the   distance   between   the   vehicle   and
 t

he   obstacle   becomes   less   than   approximately
 t

hirty   centimetres,   the   audible   signal   becomes
 c

ontinuous.
Rear parking sensors
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by d isplaying   bars   in   the   screen   or   the   instrument  
p

anel   which   move   progressively   nearer   to  
t

he   vehicle.   When   the   obstacle   is   near,   the  
"

Danger"   symbol   is   displayed.

Front parking sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or   rear)   indicates   whether   the   obstacle  
i

s   in   front   or   behind. The
  system   will   be   deactivated

utomatically   if   a   trailer   is   being

a

  towbar   (vehicle   fitted   with   a   towbar  
i

nstalled   in   line   with   the   manufacturer's  
r

ecommendations).In
  bad   weather   or   in   winter,   ensure  
t

hat   the   sensors   are   not   covered   with  m
ud,   ice   or   snow.   When   reverse   gear   is  e
ngaged,   an   audible   signal   (long   beep)  
i

ndicates   that   the   sensors   may   be   dirty.
Certain
  sound   sources   (motorcycle,  
l

orry,   pneumatic   drill,   etc.)   may   trigger  
t

he   audible   signals   of   the   parking  
s

In
 
addition   to   the   rear   parking   sensors,   the  
f

ront
 
parking   sensors   are   triggered   when   an

bstacle   is   detected   in   front   and   the   speed   of
