Driving

This system is the combination of the Active

Lane Departure Warning System and Blind Spot

Detection.

These two functions must be activated and in

operation.

This is confirmed by an audible signal.

The system is switched off when you come out of

reverse gear.

Malfunction

If the event of malfunction, this warning

lamp comes on in the instrument panel,

accompanied by the display of a message.

Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to have

the system checked.

Audible assistance

The speed of the vehicle must be between 40 and

87 mph (65 and 140 km/h).

The system may suffer temporary

interference in certain weather conditions

(rain, hail, etc.).

In particular, driving on a wet surface or

moving from a dry area to a wet area can

cause false alerts (for example, the presence

of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot

angle is interpreted as a vehicle).

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.

These functions are especially suitable for driving

on motorways and main roads.

For more information on the Active Lane

Departure Warning System and Blind Spot

Detection, refer to the corresponding sections.

The system signals the presence of obstacles

which are both within the sensors’ detection zone

and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of

the steering wheel.

Parking sensors

Refer to the General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids.

Depending on version, in the example shown, only

the obstacles present in the shaded area will be

signalled by the audible assistance.

The proximity information is given by an

intermittent audible signal, the frequency of

which increases as the vehicle approaches the

obstacle.

Active Blind Spot

Detection

In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door

mirror on the side in question, a correction of

trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross

a lane marking with the direction indicator

activated, to help you avoid a collision.

Using sensors located in the bumper, this

system signals the proximity of obstacles

(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in

their field of detection.

Rear parking sensors

The system is switched on by engaging reverse

gear.

When the distance between the vehicle and

the obstacle becomes less than about thirty

which were not previously recorded will not be

signalled.

The sound emitted by the speaker (right or

left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is

located.

Front parking sensor operation is suspended if

the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in

forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected

or the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

Deactivation / Activation

It supplements the audible assistance, without

taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by

displaying bars on the screen that represent the

distance between the obstacle and the vehicle

(white: more distant obstacles, orange: close

obstacles, red: very close obstacles).

Using four additional sensors located on the

sides of the front and rear bumpers, the system

records the position of fixed obstacles during

the manoeuvre and signals them when they are

located by the sides of the vehicle.
