conditions are fulfilled:

This system is designed to improve safety

when driving and is in no circumstances

a substitute for the use of the interior

rear view mirror and door mirrors. It is

the driver's responsibility to constantly

check the traffic, to assess the distances

and relative speeds of other vehicles

and to anticipate their movements before

deciding whether to change lane.

direction and on adjacent lanes,

the speed of your vehicle is between 7 and

87 mph (12 and 140 km/h),

you overtake a vehicle with a speed

difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),

when a vehicle overtakes you with a speed

difference of less than 16 mph (25 km/h),

the traffic is flowing normally,

This driving assistance system warns the driver

of the presence of another vehicle in the blind

the driver's field of vision), as soon as this

presents a potential danger.

The Blind Spot Detection system does not

avoid the need for vigilance on the part of

the driver.

overtaken remains in the blind spot,

curved road,

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

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).

your vehicle is not pulling a trailer or another

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

the correct operation of the system.

centimetres, the sound signal becomes

continuous.

The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)

locates the obstacle in relation to the vehicle, in

front or behind.

Active Blind Spot

Monitoring System

Certain types of obstacle (examples: post,

roadworks cone) detected initially will no longer

be detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if

they are located in blind spots in the sensors'

field of 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 cross a lane marking

with the direction indicators on, to help you

avoid a collision.

Visual assistance

This system cannot in any circumstances replace

the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.

Conditions for operation

The following systems must be activated:

Blind Spot Detection,

Active Lane Keeping Assistance.

Rear parking sensors

The system is switched on by engaging reverse

gear.

The speed of the vehicle must be between 40

and 87 mph (65 and 140 km/h) inclusive.

This is confirmed by an audible signal.

The system is switched off when you come out

of reverse gear.

This supplements the audible signal by displaying

bars on the screen that move progressively

nearer to the vehicle. When the obstacle is very

close, the "Danger" symbol is displayed.

Parking sensors

Front parking sensors

Audible assistance

In addition to the rear parking sensors, the

front parking sensors are triggered when an

obstacle is detected in front and the speed of

the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).

The front parking sensors are interrupted if

the vehicle stops for more than three seconds

in forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer

detected or when the speed of the vehicle

exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
