Fatigue detection system
It is recommended that you take a break as soon as you feel tired or at least every two hours.
D epending on version, the vehicle either has the "Driving time warning system" only, or this combined with the "Fatigue detection system".
Driving time warning
The system t riggers a n a lert o nce i t d etects t hat t
he driver has not taken a break after two hours
o
f driving at a speed above 40 mph (65 km/h).
This
alert takes the form of the display of a
m
essage encouraging you to take a break,
a
ccompanied by an audible signal.
If
the driver does not follow this advice, the
a
lert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is
s
topped.
The
system
cannot
in
any
c
ircumstances
replace
the
need
for
v
igilance
on
the
part
of
the
driver.
Do
not
take
the
wheel
if
you
are
tired. As
soon as the speed of the vehicle
d
rops below 40 mph (65 km/h), the
s
ystem goes into standby.
The
driving time is counted again once
t
he speed is above 40 mph (65 km/h).
The
system resets itself if one of the following c
onditions is met:
-
e
ngine running, the vehicle has been
s
tationary for more than 15 minutes,
-
t
he ignition has been switched off for a few
m
inutes,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is unfastened and
t
heir door is open.
The
system
is

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,
-

ane markings absent, worn,
m
asked (snow, mud) or multiple
(
roadworks, ...),
-

m
arkings not detected),
-

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 a
utomatically if a trailer is being
t
owed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on
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
ensor system.
As
an
addition to the rear parking sensors, the
f
ront
parking sensors are triggered when an
o
bstacle is detected in front and the speed of
t
he
vehicle remains below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The
front parking sensors are interrupted if
t
he
vehicle stops for more than three seconds
i
n
for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
d
etected or when the speed of the vehicle
e
xceeds 6 mph (10 km/h). The parking sensors can be deactivated in the

or
F
i
f it is not possible to make this check
i
mmediately, drive carefully at reduced
s
peed.
The
loss of pressure detected does not

Snow chains
The system does not have to be reinitialised after fitting or removing

Before
reinitialising the system, ensure
t
hat the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
