sound and a message on TFT display
will indicate to keep the center line.
If there is only one line on the road,
when it is correctly detected by the
ABSA system, only one trajectory
correction with relative acoustic signal
will be possible. Until two lines are
displayed again, there will be no
trajectory correction but only acoustic
and visual signals.
Furthermore in case of a single and
very wide lane line, if the system
intervenes by steering in the opposite
direction to the line, this could force
the car to remain slightly misaligned
from the center of the lane, towards
the only available line. This behavior
serves to prevent the intervention that
has just taken place the car off the
road from the side where the lane is
not available.
NOTE:
• In case of wet road or raining
conditions the function could be
disabled by the system in order to
minimize risks.
• The system is developed to work only
on the lines painted on the road
surfaces, but it may happen that
shadows, traces of old lines, road
edges, etc. are also interpreted as
such.
Speed Range of Use
Speed km/h (mph)
Minimum 60 (37)
Engaged/activated 60 (37)
Maximum 180 (112)
System Limitation
Because of physical limits the system
to properly operate needs good
visibility (it might not work or not
properly operate in case of heavy
rain, snow, wet roads, fog, direct sun
on the camera, dirty windshield, low
illumination etc.)
Sharp turns, slopes and change in
slopes, poor lane boundaries, as well
as construction areas and all the
scenarios described in this paragraph
may challenge the system, therefore
be always ready to prevent any
unexpected behaviour of the car.
Damaged front bumper, windshield
replaced without proper technical
intervention may also lead to system
malfunction or system unavailability.
Other conditions such as faults, but
not explicitly indicated here may
also prevent/interrupt the system
intervention.
Driver Assistance Systems
System Setting
ABSA is configurable by the customer
in order to maximize its efficiency
based on the driver driving style and
his/her expectation of the system,
reducing at the same time the possible
invasiveness.
Setting modes can be selected from
the MIA system (see "Functions of
Controls Menu on MIA" in section
"Dashboard Instruments and Controls"
for further information).
Touch "Settings" soft-key on "Vehicle"
page and select "Active Blind Spot
Assist" function to enter the setting
page.
Driver warnings can be only "Visual",
"Visual & Acoustic" (default mode) or
"Visual & Haptic". When "haptic"
feedback is selected, every time a
steering force is applied there will
always also an acoustic signal to the
driver.
System sensitivity can be set to "Early",
"Medium" (default mode) or "Late".
System strength can be set to "Low",
"Medium" (default mode) or "High".
NOTE:
The ABSA system will store the current
operating mode when the vehicle
is shut off. Each time the vehicle is
