2015 FIAT DUCATO lane assist

OPERATION
The system is always active when the
vehicle is started. It can be deactivated
or re-activated by pressing button A
fig. 128 on the dashboard (see
following description).
The LED on the button switches on to
confirm that the system has been
activated and a dedicated message
appears on the display.
When the system is activated, the LED
on the dedicated button is off. If the
user deactivates the system, the LED
on the button switches on constantly
and a dedicated message appears
on the display to confirm that the
system has been switched off.The system is enabled at every key
cycle of the vehicle and starts
recognition of the operating conditions
(condition signalled to the driver when
the 2 direction warning lights
and
on the instrument panel light up).
When the system recognises the
operating conditions, it becomes active,
i.e. it can assist the driver with visual
and acoustic warnings. Therefore
the two direction warning lights
and
on the instrument panel switch off
to prevent excessively frequent
warnings while driving in towns or on
winding roads at low speeds.
IMPORTANT If the operating conditions
are no longer present, the system
remains activated but inactive.
Therefore the driver is warned by the 2
direction warning lights
andon
the instrument panel switching on
constantly.OPERATING CONDITIONS
FOR ACTIVATION
Once switched on, the system
becomes active only if the following
conditions are met:
❒front driving direction (reverse not
engaged);
❒the system does not detect any error;
❒calibration in progress;
❒vehicle speed between 60 km/h and
max. vehicle speed;
❒presence of lane demarcation lines
not deteriorated and visible on both

❒suitable visibility conditions;
❒straight line or wide radius bends;
❒sufficient field of vision condition
(safety distance from vehicle in front);
❒direction indicators not activated
in the lane exiting direction (e.g. right

WARNING
78) If the camera loses its position
due to a load variation, the system
may not work temporarily to allow
the camera to perform an
autocalibration.
79) The Driving Advisor is not an
automatic driving system and
does not replace the driver in
controlling the trajectory of the
car. The driver is personally
responsible for maintaining a
sufficient level of attention to the
traffic and road conditions and
for controlling the trajectory of the
car safely.
80) In the case of indistinct,
overlapping or missing lane
demarcation lines, the system
may not assist the driver: in this
case the Driving Advisor will be
inactive.

amberDRIVING ADVISOR
The two warning lights on indicate that the system has started
recognising the operating conditions.
When the system recognises the operating conditions, it becomes active,
i.e. it can assist the driver with visual and acoustic warnings. Therefore,
the warning lights switch off.
IMPORTANT If the operating conditions are no longer present, the
system is engaged but inactive, and therefore the two warning lights on
the panel switch on.
When the system is active, if the vehicle gets close to one of the side limit
lines or one of the two demarcation lines of the lane, the driver is warned
with an acoustic signal along with the direction warning light (right or left)
on the panel lighting up.
The system failure is indicated by the two direction warning lights
and
lighting up on the panel, along with an acoustic signal and a dedicated
message.
