running close to the vehicle in front

(the lane markings may not be

detected),

(not holding the steering wheel for

the steering wheel for 2 more seconds),

the correction is interrupted.

spot angle of their vehicle (areas hidden from

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

presents a potential danger.

The alert is given by a warning lamp which

comes on in the door mirror on the side in

question as soon as a vehicle – car, lorry,

bicycle – is detected and the following

conditions are fulfilled:

all the vehicles must be moving in the same

direction and in adjacent lanes,

the speed of the vehicle must be 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),

a vehicle overtakes you with a speed

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

the traffic must be flowing normally,

in the case of an overtaking manoeuvre,

if this is prolonged and the vehicle being

overtaken returns to the blind spot,

you are driving on a straight or slightly

curved road,

A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on

the side in question:

fixed, immediately, when being overtaken,

flashing, after a delay of about one second,

when overtaking a vehicle slowly, and when

the direction indicator is used.

No alert will be given in the following situations:

in the presence of non-moving objects

(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,

road signs, etc.),

your vehicle is not towing a trailer, a

caravan, etc.

with vehicles moving in the opposite

direction,

driving on a winding road or a sharp corner,

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 relative

distances and speeds of other vehicles

and to anticipate their movements before

deciding whether to change lane.

Driving

Activation/Deactivation

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).

Activation or deactivation is set via

the vehicle configuration menu.

In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the

sensors are not covered by mud, ice or

snow.

The system state remains in memory

when the ignition is switched off.

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.

The system is automatically deactivated

when towing with a towing device

approved by PEUGEOT.

when overtaking or being overtaken by

a very long vehicle (lorry, bus, etc.) which

is both detected in the rear blind spot and

present in the driver's front field of vision,

in very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in

front and behind are confused with a lorry or

a stationary object,

Malfunction

when overtaking quickly.

If a fault occurs, this warning lamp comes

on in the instrument panel, accompanied by

a message.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the system checked.

High-pressure washing

When washing your vehicle, keep the

lance at least 30 cm away from the

sensors.
