When the area of vision of the camera
●
becomes dirty, covered or is damaged, the
Lane Assist system function can be affec-
ted.
CAUTION
In order to avoid influencing the operation
of the system, the following points must be
taken into account:
Regularly clean the area of vision of the
●
camera and keep it clean state, free from
›››
snow or ice
Fig.
141.
Do not cover the area of vision of the
●
camera.
Check that the area of vision of the wind-
●
screen camera is not damaged.
Note
The Lane Assist system can be automati-
●
cally disconnected if it registers a fault.
The lane departure warning system has
●
been exclusively developed for driving on
paved roads only.
If the Lane Assist system does not work as
●
described in this chapter, do not use it and
contact a specialised workshop.
If there is a fault in the system, have it
●
checked by a specialised workshop.

WARNING
If the brake warning lamp

out or if it lights up when driving, the brake
fluid level in the reservoir is too lo so there

is a risk of an accident
page 184, Brake
fluid. Stop the vehicle and do not drive on.
Obtain technical assistance.
If the brake warning lamp lights up
●
gether with the ABS lamp
this could be
due to an ABS fault. When this function
fails, the rear wheels can lock up. Under
certain circumstances, the rear of the vehi-
cle may skid, with the danger of losing con-
trol. Stop and seek technical assistance.
Information about the brakes
New brake pads
For the first 200 to 300 km (100 to 200
miles), new brake pads have not yet reached
their maximum braking capacity, and need to
be "run in" first. However, you can compen-
sate for the slightly reduced braking effect by
applying more pressure on the brake pedal.
Avoid overloading the brakes while running
them in.
Wear
The rate of wear on the brake pads depends
a great deal on how you drive and the condi-
tions in which the vehicle is operated. This is a
particular problem in urban traffic and short
stretches, or with very sporty driving.
Depending on the speed, the braking force
does not go
and the environmental conditions (for exam-
ple, the temperature, air humidity, etc.) noises
may be produced on braking.
Wet roads or road salt
In certain situations (for example, on driving
to-
through flooded areas, in severe downpours
or after washing the vehicle) the braking ac-
tion could be delayed if the discs and pads
are damp, or frozen in winter. In this case the
brakes should be "dried" by pressing the
brake pedal several times.
