Lighting and visibility  
If pedestrians or animals are detected, they  
appear in yellow frames.  
After using an automatic car wash, you  
may temporarily notice abnormal noises  
and poorer wiping performance. You do not  
need to replace the wiper blades.  
Maintenance  
recommendations  
The infrared camera has a wash nozzle connected  
to the vehicle’s front screenwash system.  
This nozzle operates every 5th use of the  
screenwash.  
If the system detects a risk of  
collision with pedestrians or  
animals, it triggers an alert: a symbol appears in  
the middle of the display window. The silhouette  
of pedestrians or animals is framed in red.  
If the "Night Vision" display mode has not been  
selected, the alert is triggered in the form of a  
temporary window.  
Without AUTO wiping  
Regularly check that the camera is clean.  
In bad weather, or in wintry conditions, ensure  
that the camera is not covered with mud, ice or  
snow.  
In the event of an alert, the driver may act by  
making an avoiding manoeuvre or by braking.
