Driver Attention Warning
Depending on version, the "Coffee Break Alert"
system is combined with the "Driver Attention
Warning" system.
Using a camera placed at the top of the
windscreen, the system assesses the
driver's level of vigilance, fatigue or distraction by
identifying variations in trajectory compared to
the lane markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40 mph (65
km/h)).
At a first-level alert, the driver is warned by the
“Take care! ” message, accompanied by an
audible signal.
After three first-level alerts, the system triggers
a further alert with the message " Dangerous
driving: take a break", accompanied by a more
pronounced audible signal.
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
–
poor visibility (inadequate lighting of the
road, falling snow
, heavy rain, dense fog,
etc.);
–
dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle,
low sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a
tunnel, alternating shade and light, etc.);
–
windscreen area located in front of the
camera: dirty
, misted, frost-covered, snow-
covered, damaged or covered by a sticker.
–
lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow
,
mud) or multiple (roadworks, etc.);
–
close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings
not detected);
–
roads that are narrow
, winding, etc.
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 absent, worn, hidden (snow
,
mud) or multiple (roadworks),
–
close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings
not detected),
–
roads that are narrow
, winding, etc.
Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Using sensors located in the bumper, this
system signals the proximity of obstacles
(e.g.
pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in
their field of detection.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear, which is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when disengaging
reverse gear.
