Driving
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.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle
drops below 40 mph (65 km/h), the
system goes into standby.
The driving time is counted again once the
speed is above 40 mph (65 km/h).
driving: 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.
Activation / Deactivation
Driver Attention Alert by
camera
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);
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle
touch screen menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Driver Attention Alert
– close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings
not detected);
– roads that are narrow, winding, etc.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects that the driver has not taken a
break after two hours of driving at a speed above
40 mph (65 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 vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes.
– The ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes.
Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
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.
– The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is opened.
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.
After three first-level alerts, the system triggers
a further alert with the message "Dangerous
