Driving
Operating conditions
This system takes into account vehicles
such as cars, lorries and motorcycles by
monitoring the blind spots or areas hidden
from the driver's field of vision.
Malfunction
6
– All vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes.
– When overtaking a vehicle, the speed
difference is less than 9 mph (15 km/h).
– Traffic is flowing normally.
If the event of a malfunction, this
warning lamp lights up on the instru-
ment panel, accompanied by the dis-
play of a message.
– Overtaking a vehicle over a certain period of
time and the vehicle being overtaken remains in
the blind spot.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The system may be temporarily disturbed
by certain weather conditions (e.g. heavy
rain, hail or extreme temperature changes).
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
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.
– if the rear bumper is damaged.
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
– Fixed, immediately when another vehicle is in
the blind spot or is approaching in an adjacent
lane.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
radars 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 rear bumper, with adhesive labels or
other objects; they may hamper the correct
operation of the system.
– Flashing, after about 1 second when the
direction indicator is used.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
This system does not replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver. Always
check in the mirrors and look over your
shoulders before changing lanes to avoid an
accident.
Activation/Deactivation
It is configured in the ADAS touch
screen application.
In the event of repairing or repainting the
rear bumper, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop; certain types of
paint could interfere with the operation of the
radars.
When starting the vehicle, the warning lamp
comes on in each mirror to indicate that the
system is activated.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towing device
approved by PEUGEOT.
