WARNING When the HAS is paused, the

WARNING Hands on the steering wheel
are detected by a capacitive sensor
installed in it.
When the automatic suspension
conditions are over, the HAS will be
available again without requiring any
reactivation action by the driver.
INDICATIONS ON THE DISPLAY
The system status can always be
viewed through a dedicated area on the
instrument panel display.
The system status is indicated by the
colour of the symbol .
The HAS system uses the sensors on
the steering wheel rim to detect if the
driver's hands are placed on the steering
wheel.
If the driver's hands are not positioned
on the steering wheel, a series of
warnings will appear on the instrument
panel display to alert the driver that he
needs to reposition his hands on the
steering wheel. Acoustic signals will also
be emitted.
After a certain period of time, the HAS
system will be disabled if the driver
has not repositioned his hands on the
steering wheel.
When the system does not detect
hands on the steering wheel, it will warn
the driver by displaying a dedicated
screen at the centre of the instrument
panel display (see the description in the
following pages).
SYSTEM STATUS
Active system
The active and correctly functioning
system status is indicated by a dedicated
screen in the "Driver Assistance" menu
on the display of the instrument panel.
If you are in a different menu, a screen
will appear on the instrument panel
display, which will provide information on
the system activation status fig. 119.
