Vehicles with small dimensions and/or
not aligned in the driving lane
The system cannot detect cars in front of
the car but outside the field of vision of
the camera and may therefore not react
in the presence of small cars, such as
motorbikes. fig. 114.

Pedestrian/cyclist detection
While driving, when there is a risk of
collision with a pedestrian or cyclist, the
system will display the relevant warning
message indicating the direction of
obstacle detection and, if necessary,
apply the brakes.
Lane change by other vehicles
Vehicles suddenly changing lane,
entering the same lane as your car and
this moving into the field of vision of
the camera, may cause the system to
intervene fig. 115.

Warnings
The system has not been designed to
prevent impacts and cannot detect
possible conditions leading to an
accident in advance. Failure to take into
account this warning may lead to serious
or fatal injuries.
In case of complex scenarios,

unexpected or unnecessary warnings or
braking may occur.
LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The Lane Control makes use of a camera
located on the windscreen to detect the
lane limits and calculate the position
of the car within such limits, in order to
make sure that it remains inside the lane.
When the one of the lane lines is
detected and the car crosses it without
the awareness of the driver (direction
indicator off), the Lane Keeping Assist
system provides a tactile warning in
form of torque applied to the steering
wheel (vibration) when the lane limit is
approached, thus advising the driver that
he must take an action to remain in the
lane.
WARNING The torque applied to
the steering wheel by the system is
sufficient for the driver to notice it,
9650175
but always limited, so that they can
easily override it, and the driver always
maintains control of the car. The driver
can therefore turn the steering wheel as
required at all times.
If the car continues going beyond the line
of the lane without any intervention from
the driver, the warning light
icon on the reconfigurable multifunction
display) will be displayed on the
instrument panel to urge the driver to
bring the car back into the limits of the
lane.
