Visibility

Blind spot sensors
This driving assistance system warns the driver
of the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot angle of their vehicle (areas masked from
the driver's field of vision), as soon as this
presents a potential danger.
Operation
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 predict their movements before deciding whether to change lane.
The blind spot sensor system can never replace the need for vigilance on the part of
the
d
river. F

O
n switching on the ignition, or engine
running, press this button to activate the
function; the warning lamp comes on.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
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
overtaking a vehicle slowly.

(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,

-

w
ith vehicles moving in the opposite

-

Driving

Operating fault
In the event of a fault, the warning lamp in the
button flashes then goes off.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions (rain, hail...).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
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).
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.
F

T

o deactivate the system, press this button
again; the warning lamp goes off.
The state of the system remains in memory on
switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically
deactivated when towing with a towbar
approved by CITROËN.
