WARNING!
In rare cases, Lane Keeping Assist
(LKA) may make an inappropriate
steering torque application. LKA may
be interrupted at any time counter
steering. Lack of attention may lead to
serious injury or death.
System Availability
The ADAS systems (LKA, CC, ACC,
FCW and HAS) help the driver while
driving. These systems can be set
and monitored simultaneously on
the display, after opening "Driver
Assist" menu (see paragraph "TFT
5
Display: Menus and Settings"
under "Instrument Cluster" in
section "Dashboard Instruments and
Controls").
LKA is designed for an attentive driver
therefore the system is available only
when his/her hands are on the steering
wheel or with hands off for a very
limited amount of time. When the
system is enabled it will trigger cluster
warning in case at least one hand is
not detected on the steering wheel.
The torque application as well as the
vibration are suppressed/inhibited
in case of: high driver torque in
the steering wheel, high lateral
acceleration, trailer connected to the
298
proper control module, hands not on
the steering wheel detected for more
than a certain time.
High dynamic behaviours, driving on
the lane boundary, off course will
prevent the function from working.
FCW braking and stability system
interventions (ESC, ABS) will also
prevent the system from operating.
Changing lane results in system
inhibition for a certain time. In
addition, the road must respect
some characteristics such as
minimummaximum width, lane clearly
defined by two lane boundaries and
only in limited cases for a limited time
at least one.
NOTE:
• In case of wet road or raining
conditions the function could be
disabled by the system in order to
minimize the risks.
• With lane boundaries it is mainly
referred to painted lines delimiters,
nevertheless the system in good
conditions might properly recognise
as valid lane boundaries also other
types (for example road edges, curbs,
etc..).
Being this function used to prevent
unintentional lane change/lane drift,
it will be temporary suppressed/
inhibited by a turn indicator
activation, therefore, graphic warning,
steering torque application and
vibration will be terminated. In this
condition in case of a vehicle detected
by the Blind Spot Assist (BSA) system
in the covered area on the proper
side, there can be the transition
from LKA to Active Blind Spot Assist
(ABSA) (if this latter is on and properly
configured).
Function Description and
Operating Mode
The function intent is to prevent the
lane departure by warning the driver
through indication on the cluster
and if set applying steering torque
and vibration. Whenever the system
is enable there will be graphic on
the dedicated screen in the driver
assist page and for the others it will
be available in the left top corner of
the cluster screen. The graphic which
intent is to represent at the glance the
system knowledge of the lane in front
of the car, the system suppression
status and warning.
For this a simple colour code has been
adopted for each line (of the two
presented):
• Both grey lines means system enable,
not able to operate (suppression
