Driver Assistance Systems
In addition to these symbols, on the
TFT top and bottom edge a coloured
glow may appear (further referred to
as "attention level colour"). Attention
level colour together with the outline
of the symbol represent a further
indication of the system status.

When exiting the "Driver Assist"

always be displayed until the system is
disabled by pressing the button on the
steering wheel.

The ADA system uses sensors in
the steering wheel outer crown to
detect if the driver's hands are on the
steering wheel. If the driver's hands
are not detected on the steering
wheel, the instrument cluster will
display a series of warnings to alert
the driver to return their hands to
the steering wheel. There will also be
audible chimes. After a set amount of
time, ADA will cancel if the driver's
hands are not returned to the steering
wheel.
When the system does not sense the
hands on the steering wheel for a
few seconds (3 – 5 seconds) or more
(up to 10 seconds), it tries to draw the
attention of the driver by showing,
even when the display is not in the
"Driver Assist" page, the
with the figure of the hands in the
centre of the display. According to
such time frames, the system will
change the attention level colour,
silence the audio in the vehicle (if it
is active) and emit audible chimes to
notify the driver to take the control of
the vehicle again. This is the only way
to reengage the system.
Hands Detection on Steering
Wheel
The sensors in the steering wheel
outer crown are able to detect the
presence of the hands on the steering
wheel.
In order to be able to use the ADA
system, place your hands around the
steering wheel outer crown.
NOTE:
The sensors are not able to detect
the presence of the hands on the
steering wheel areas covered in wood,
plastic bezels or carbon inserts (where
present).
ADA is deactivated if the steering
wheel is no longer being touched.
System Statuses
