BLIND SPOT WARNING

(1/4)

This system alerts the driver to other

vehicles in the detection zone A.
The system is activated when the vehi-

cle’s speed is between approximately

30 km/h (19 mph) and 140 km/h (87

mph).
This function uses sensors 1 installed in

the front and rear bumper of both sides.

Special feature

Make sure that the sensors are not ob-

scured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

If a sensor is obscured, the message

“Blind spot clean sensor” will appear on

the instrument panel. Clean the sen-

sors.

This function is an addi-

tional aid which indicates

other vehicles in the blind

spot area.

It can never in any case be a sub-

stitute for care nor for the driver’s

responsibility while in charge of his

vehicle.
The driver should always be ready

for sudden incidents while driv-

ing: always ensure that there are

no small, narrow moving obstacles

(such as a child, animal, pushchair,

bicycle, stone, post etc.) in the blind

spot when manoeuvring.

BLIND SPOT WARNING

(3/4)

Operation

This function gives a warning:
– when the vehicle speed is between

approximately 19 mph (30 km/h) and

87 mph (140 km/h);

– when another vehicle is in the blind

spot area and travelling in the same

direction as your vehicle.

If your vehicle is overtaking another ve-

hicle, the indicator 6 will be activated

only if that vehicle remains in the blind

spot for more than one second.

Indicator 6

An indicator light 6 is located on each

door mirror 7.
Note: clean the door mirrors 7 regularly

so that the indicators 6 can be seen.

Display B

The function is activated and has not

detected any vehicles.

Display C

First warning: the indicator 6 means

that a vehicle has been detected in the

blind spot.

Display D

When the direction indicator is acti-

vated, the indicator light 6 flashes when

a vehicle is detected in the blind spot on

the side towards which you are about to

steer. If you cancel the direction indica-

tor, the function will return to the initial

warning (display C).

The system’s detection range oper-

ates according to a standard lane

width. If you are driving in narrow

traffic lanes, it may detect vehicles

in other lanes.

2.58

Operating faults

If the system detects a fault, the mes-

sage “Check blind spot alert” is dis-

played on the instrument panel. Consult

an approved dealer.
Note: when the engine is started, the

indicator light 6, display B, flashes

three times. It is normal.

– The system’s detection

range operates according

to a standard lane width. If

you are driving in wide traf-

fic lanes, the system might not

be able to detect a vehicle in the

blind spot.

– The system might be disrupted

momentarily if it is exposed to

strong electromagnetic waves

(as beneath high-tension power

lines) or to very poor weather

conditions (heavy rain, snow

etc.). Remain aware of driving

conditions.

There is a risk of accidents.

BLIND SPOT WARNING

(4/4)

Because sensors have

been installed in the bump-

ers, any work (repairs, re-

placements, touching up of

paintwork) must be carried out by a

qualified professional.

Conditions for non-function

–  If the object is not moving;
–  if traffic is heavy;
–  the road is winding;
–  if front and rear sensors both detect

an object at the same time (e.g.

when passing an articulated lorry).

and the vehicle in front so that a safe

stopping distance between the two ve-

hicles can be maintained.
Note: make sure the windscreen is not

obscured (dirt, mud, snow, condensa-

tion etc.).
The function is activated when the ve-

hicle speed is between about 18.6 and

124 mph (30 and 200 km/h).

SAFE DISTANCE ALERT

(2/3)

The measurement is dis-

played for information only:

the system performs no

action on the vehicle.

This function is not designed for use

in urban conditions or for a dynamic

driving style (sudden cornering, ac-

celeration, braking, etc.), but rather

for stable driving conditions.

The function does not interact with

the braking system.

The windscreen must remain clean

to ensure the correct operation of

the system.

– C (orange): the time interval falls

between around 1 and 2 seconds (in-

sufficient distance between the two

vehicles);

– D (red): the time interval is less than

or equal to around one second (very

insufficient distance between the two

vehicles).

If the interval between the two vehicles

is less than around 0.5 seconds, noti-

fication 4, display D, will flash on the

instrument panel. Under certain condi-

tions, the time interval may not be dis-

played:

– while cornering;

– when changing lane;

– if the vehicle in front is sufficiently far

or outside the range of the sensor.

This function is essential if adaptive

cruise control is activated.

On equipped vehicles, some infor-

mation is given on the head-up dis-

play.

Operation

Upon activating the function, indicator 4

notifies the driver of the distance sepa-

rating them from the vehicle in front.
–  A (grey): function not operational;
–  A (green): no vehicle detected;
–  B (green): the time interval is greater

than or equal to around two seconds

(distance between the two vehicles

adapted to your speed);
