Operating limits
Cruise control operates by day and night, in dry
weather or moderate rainfall.
Certain situations cannot be managed by the
system and require driver intervention.
Cases not taken into account by the system:
–

Pede
strians, cyclists, animals.
–

St
ationary vehicles (e.g. traffic jams,
breakdown).


– Vehicles crossing your lane.
– V ehicles driving in the opposite direction.
Situations where the driver must suspend the
system:


– Vehicles in a tight bend.
– When approaching a roundabout.

– When follo wing a narrow vehicle.
Reactivate the system when conditions allow.
Situations in which the driver is prompted to
immediately resume control:
–

Ex
cessively sharp deceleration by the vehicle in
front of you.


– When a vehicle cuts in sharply between your
vehicle and the one in front.
Some vehicles on the road may be poorly
perceived or interpreted by the camera
and/or the radar (e.g. truck), which can lead to
an incorrect evaluation of distances and result
in inappropriate acceleration or braking of the
vehicle.
Pay particular attention:
– When mo torcycles are present and
when there are vehicles staggered across the
traffic lane.
–

When en
tering a tunnel or crossing a bridge.

Malfunction
This warning lamp lights up on the
instrument panel with the message
"Sensor blind" in certain cases.
Version with camera only: the system is
deactivated.
Version with camera and radar: the system may
continue to operate in a degraded mode.
This may be caused by a reduced visibility
(e.g. rain, fog, snow, blinding by low sun) or by a
real sensor blockage. In this case, stop the vehicle
and verify if the front camera or the front radar is
covered by dirt, snow, ice or anything preventing
the sensing.
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and an
audible signal.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If these warning lamps come on
after the engine has been switched
off and then restarted, contact a dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the system checked.
These warning lamps light up on
the instrument panel and/or in the
warning lamp display for seat belts and front
passenger airbag to indicate that the driver's and/
or front passenger's seat belt is not fastened
(depending on version). The automatic braking
system is deactivated until the seat belts are
fastened.
Distraction detection
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids.
The function comprises the "Driver Attention
Warning" and "Driver Attention Warning by
Camera" systems, combined, depending on
version, with the "DS DRIVER ATTENTION
MONITORING" system.
These systems are in no way designed to
keep the driver awake or to prevent the
driver from falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling
tired.
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.
Activation/Deactivation
By default, the function is automatically activated
at every engine start.
The settings are changed via the ADAS
touch screen application.
Driver Attention Warning
The system triggers an alert when it
detects that the driver has not taken a
break after two hours of driving at a speed above
43 mph (70 km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a message
encouraging the driver to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert
is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
–

With the engine running, the v
ehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes.
–

The ignition has been s
witched off for a few
minutes.
–

The driv
er's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is opened.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops
below 43 mph (70 km/h), the system goes
into standby.
Driving time starts being counted again once
the speed reaches above 43 mph (70 km/h).

132
Driving06
Driver Attention Warning by
Camera


The system assesses the driver's level of
alertness, fatigue and distraction by
identifying trajectory changes in relation to the
lane markings.
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on
the upper part of the windscreen.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 43 mph (70 km/h)).
At a first alert level, the driver is warned by the
message "Caution!", accompanied by an audible
signal.
After three first-level alerts, the system triggers
a further alert with the message "Driving at
risk: Take a break", accompanied by a more
pronounced audible signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
surface or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's level of
vigilance.
The following situations may interfere
with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
–

lane markings ab
sent, worn, hidden (snow,
mud) or multiple (roadworks);
–

clo
se to the vehicle ahead (lane markings
not detected);
–

roads tha
t are narrow, winding, etc.
DS DRIVER ATTENTION
MONITORING
(Depending on version)

An additional (infrared) camera is fitted to
the steering column, behind the steering
wheel, to monitor driver behaviour.
The camera analyses, firstly, the direction of the
driver's gaze and head to assess their distraction
level and, secondly, the closing of their eyelids to
assess the level of their vigilance and attention.
When the vigilance level (distraction or loss of
attention) is low, the system emits an alert.
With the "Personal" display mode of the digital
instrument panel, the driver can select the
permanent display of the "Level of vigilance"
diagram, which enables them to monitor this
information in real time.
The system is activated at speeds above
16 mph (25 km/h).
The following situations may interfere
with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
–

s

ystem’s camera field of vision blocked or
obstructed.
–

w

earing certain types of spectacles or
sunglasses that are very dark or reflective.
–

fac
e partially obscured (e.g. by a hand, by
hair).
–

unusual or inc
orrect driving position.
Under no circumstances shall the
Manufacturer be held liable in the event of
alerts not being given or for the consequences
of using this system.
