blind spots (areas hidden from the driver's field  
of vision) using sensors located on the sides of  
the bumpers.

The system may be temporarily  
disturbed by certain weather  
conditions (e.g. rain, hail).  
In particular, driving on a wet road or going  
from a dry to a wet area can cause false  
alerts (e.g. presence of a cloud of water  
droplets in the blind spot interpreted as a  
vehicle).  
Operating limits  
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the  
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.  
Take care not to cover the warning zone in  
the door mirrors, or the detection zones on  
the front and rear bumpers with adhesive  
labels or other objects; they may hamper  
correct operation of the system.  
No alert is triggered in the following conditions:  
– presence of stationary objects (e.g. parked  
vehicles, safety rails, lampposts, signs).  
– vehicles travelling in the opposite direction.  
– on winding roads or in case of sharp turns.  
– when overtaking or being overtaken by a  
very long vehicle (e.g. truck, bus), which is  
both detected in a blind spot from behind and  
present in the driver's field of vision from the  
front.  
Parking sensors  
For more information, refer to the  
General recommendations on the use  
of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
– quick overtaking manoeuvre.  
– very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in front  
and behind are confused with a lorry or a  
stationary object.
