onditions are fulfilled:
-
a

Fatigue detection system
Depending on version, the "Driving time warning system" may be combined with the
"
Fatigue detection system".
Using
a camera placed at the top of the
w
indscreen, the system assesses the driver's
l
evel of vigilance by identifying variations in
t
rajectory compared to the lane markings.
This
system is particularly suited to fast roads
(
speed higher than 40 mph (65 km/h)).Once
the system considers that the behaviour o
f the vehicle suggests a certain level of fatigue
o
r inattention by the driver, it triggers the first
l
evel of alert.
The
driver is then alerted by the message
"Ta
k e c a r e !",
accompanied by an audible
s
ignal.
After
three first level alerts, the system triggers
a
new alert with the message "Take a break! ",
accompanied
by a more pronounced audible
s
ignal. In
certain driving conditions (poor road
s
ur face or strong winds), the system
m
ay give alerts independent of the
d
river's level of vigilance.
The following situations may inter fere
w
ith operation of the system or prevent
i
t working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate lighting
o
f the roadway, falling snow, heavy
r
ain, dense fog, ...),
- d azzle (headlamps of an oncoming v
ehicle, low sun, reflections on
a
damp road, leaving a tunnel,
a
lternating shade and light, ...),
-
w
indscreen area located in front
o
f the camera: dirty, misted, frost-
covered,
snow-covered, damaged
o
r covered by a sticker,
-
l
ane markings absent, worn,
m
asked (snow, mud) or multiple
(

-

m
arkings not detected),

360 Vision
This system provides a view in the instrument panel of the near surroundings of your vehicle,
u
sing cameras mounted at the front and rear of
y
our vehicle and under the door mirrors.
Depending
on the angle of view chosen (front
v
iew, rear view or 360° panoramic view),
3
60 Vision provides special visual assistance
i
n particular driving conditions such as when
e
ntering a blind junction or manoeuvring in
a
reas of reduced visibility.
Once
activated, this function operates up to
9 m
ph (15 km/h). Above 18 mph (30 km/h), the
f
unction is deactivated automatically. This
system is a visual aid which in no
c
ircumstances can replace the need for
v
igilance on the part of the driver.
The images provided by the cameras
m
ay be deformed by the relief. The
p
resence of areas in shade, in sunny
c
onditions, or of low ambient light may
d
arken the image and reduce contrast.Forward vision
The camera located in the front bumper is a
ctivated and views of the areas located at
f
ront left and front right appear simultaneously
i
n the instrument panel.
Rear vision
The camera located in the tailgate is activated and the view of the area behind your vehicle is
d
isplayed in the instrument panel and behaves
l
ike a reversing camera, whatever the position
o
f the gear selector lever.
The
blue lines represent the width of your
v
ehicle (excluding mirrors): they move
a
ccording to the position of the steering wheel.
The
red line represents a distance of 30 cm
f
rom the rear bumper, and the two green
l
ines, 1 m and 2 m from the rear bumper,
r
espectively. Rear
vision is displayed automatically
w
