Operation
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the   side   in   question:
-
 
i
mmediately,   when   being   overtaken,
-
 
a
fter   a   delay   of   about   one   second,   when  
ov

ertaking   a   vehicle   slowly.
This
 
driving
 
assistance
 
system
 
warns
 
the
 
driver
 o
f
 
the
 
presence
 
of
 
another
 
vehicle
 
in
 
the
 
blind

pot
 
angle
 
of
 
their
 
vehicle
 
(areas
 
masked
 
from
 
t

driver's
 
field
 
of
 
vision),
 
as

s

ubstitute
 
for
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
the

mirror   and   door   mirrors.   It   is   the   driver's  
r

esponsibility
 
to
 
constantly
 
check
 
the
 
traffic,
 
to   asses   the   distances   and   relative   speeds   of  
o

ther
 
vehicles
 
and
 
to
 
predict
 
their
 
movements   before   deciding   whether   to   change   lane.
The
 
blind
 
spot
 
sensor
 
system
 
can
 
never
 
replace   the   vigilance   and   responsibility   of

360 Vision
This system provides a view in the instrument panel   of   the   near   surroundings   of   your   vehicle,  
u

sing   cameras   mounted   at   the   front   and   rear   of  
y

our   vehicle   and   under   the   door   mirrors.
Depending
  on   the   angle   of   view   chosen   (front  
v

iew,   rear   view   or   360°   panoramic   view),  
3

60 Vision   provides   special   visual   assistance  
i

n   particular   driving   conditions   such   as   when  
e

ntering   a   blind   crossing   or   manoeuvring   in  
a

reas   of   reduced   visibility.
Once
  activated,   this   function   operates   up   to  
9 m

ph   (15   km/h).   Above   18   mph   (30   km/h),   the  
f

unction   is   deactivated   automatically. This
  system   is   a   visual   aid   which   in   no  
c

ircumstances   can   replace   the   need   for  
v

igilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.
The   images   provided   by   the   cameras  
m

ay   be   deformed   by   the   relief.   The  
p

resence   of   areas   in   shade,   in   sunny  
c

onditions,   or   of   low   ambient   light   may  
d

arken   the   image   and   reduce   contrast.
Forward vision
The camera located in the front bumper is a
ctivated   and   views   of   the   areas   located   at  
f

ront   left   and   front   right   appear   simultaneously  
i

n   the   instrument   panel.
Rear vision
The camera located in the tailgate is activated and   the   view   of   the   area   behind   your   vehicle   is  
d

isplayed   in   the   instrument   panel   and   behaves  
l

ike   a   reversing   camera,   whatever   the   position  
o

f   the   gear   selector   lever.
The
  blue   lines   represent   the   width   of   your  
v

ehicle   (excluding   mirrors):   they   move  
a

ccording   to   the   position   of   the   steering   wheel.
The
  red   line   represents   a   distance   of   30   cm  
f

rom   the   rear   bumper,   and   the   two   green  
l

ines,   1   m   and   2   m   from   the   rear   bumper,
