Driver Assistance Systems
(see "Instrument Cluster Settings and
Menu Overview" in section "Dashboard
Instruments and Controls").
The
symbol in gray indicates that the
ADA system is active, but not engaged
and is shown at the center of the
display when the "Driver Assist" page is
displayed.
When exiting the "Driver Assist" page,
the ADA information is displayed in the
right digital dial (ADAS area).

In addition to these symbols, on the
left and right edge a colored glow may
appear (further referred to as "attention
level color"). Attention level color
together with the outline of the symbol
represent a further indication of the
system status.
When exiting the "Driver Assist" page,
the attention level color will 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 or the Head Up
Display (
) if activated, 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 after 1
second or more (up to 29 seconds + 6
seconds of chime after deactivation), it
tries to draw the attention of the driver
by showing, even when the display is
not in the "Driver Assist" page, the
symbol with the figure of the hands in
the center of the display and on the
HUD, if activated. 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 steering wheel is able to detect the
presence of the hands on it.
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
The active status of the ADA system is
indicated by the green attention level
color which is maintained even if the
driver releases his/her grip from the
steering wheel for more than 3 seconds.
The graphic information changes as soon
as (max 1 second) the driver releases the
steering wheel:
•
glow color: green;
•
lines: green;
•
car: centered;
•
steering wheel: yellow small in the
center.
The yellow attention level color appears
when the driver removes his/her hands
from the steering wheel for 7 seconds
and the
