Risk of undesirable operation  
We recommend deactivating the system in the  
following driving situations:  
– driving on damaged, unstable or very slippery  
(ice) road surfaces,  
– unfavourable weather conditions,  
– driving on a speed circuit,  
instrument panel, accompanied by the display of  
a message and an audible signal.  
Have the system checked by a dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
Operating limits  
The system goes into standby automatically in  
the following cases:  
– ESC deactivated or operation triggered,  
– speed below 40 mph (65 km/h) or greater than  
112 mph (180 km/h),  
– electrical connection of a trailer,  
– use of the "space-saver" spare wheel detected  
(as detection is not immediate, deactivation of  
the system is recommended),  
Blind Spot Detection  
Refer to the General recommendations on the use  
of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
– driving on a rolling road.  
Deactivation / Activation  
– dynamic driving style detected, pressure on the  
brake or accelerator pedal,  
– driving where there are no lane markings,  
– activation of the direction indicators,  
– crossing the inside line on a bend,  
– driving in a tight corner,  
– inactivity by the driver detected during  
correction.  
This system includes sensors, placed on the  
sides of the bumpers, and warns the driver of the  
potentially dangerous presence of another vehicle  
(car, truck, motorcycle) in the blind spot areas of  
their vehicle (areas hidden from the driver's field  
of vision).  
The following situations may interfere  
with the operation of the system or  
prevent it from working:  
– insufficient contrast between the road  
surface and the shoulders (e.g. shade),  
– lane markings worn, hidden (snow, mud) or  
multiple (roadworks, etc.),  
►ꢀ Press this button to deactivate / reactivate  
the system at any time.  
Deactivation is signalled by the lighting of  
the indicator lamp in the button and this  
warning lamp in the instrument panel.  
The system is automatically reactivated every  
time the ignition is switched on.  
– running close to the vehicle in front (the lane  
markings may not be detected),  
– roads that are narrow, winding, etc.  
Malfunction  
A fault with the system is signalled by the  
illumination of these warning lamps in the  
141  
Driving  
06  
The warning is given by a fixed warning lamp that  
appears in the door mirror on the side in question:  
– immediately, when being overtaken;  
– after a delay of about one second, when  
overtaking a vehicle slowly.  
– You are driving on a straight or slightly curved  
road.  
– Your vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a caravan,  
etc.  
Operating limits  
Activation/Deactivation  
The function is activated and deactivated  
in the Driving/Vehicle menu of the touch  
screen.  
The state of the system stays in the memory when  
switching off the ignition.  
The system is automatically deactivated  
when towing with a towing device  
approved by the Manufacturer.  
No alert is triggered in the following conditions:  
– In the presence of non-moving objects (parked  
vehicles, barriers, street lamps, road signs, etc.).  
– Oncoming traffic.  
– Driving on a winding road or a sharp corner.  
– When overtaking or being overtaken by a very  
long vehicle (lorry, bus, etc.) that is detected  
in the rear blind spot but is also present in the  
driver’s front field of vision.  
Conditions for operation  
– All vehicles are moving in the same direction  
and in adjacent lanes.  
– The speed of your vehicle must be between 7  
and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h).  
– When overtaking a vehicle, the speed  
difference is less than 6 mph (10 km/h).  
– When overtaken by a vehicle, the speed  
difference is less than 16 mph (25 km/h).  
– Traffic is flowing normally.  
– Overtaking a vehicle over a certain period of  
time and the vehicle being overtaken remains in  
the blind spot.  
– When overtaking quickly.  
– In very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in  
front and behind are confused with a lorry or a  
stationary object.  
– If the Park Assist or DS PARK PILOT function is  
activated.
