Blind spot monitoring system
Activation / Deactivation
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.
This
 
driving
 
assistance
 
system
 
warns
 
the
 
driver
 o
f the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot
 
angle
 
of
 
their
 
vehicle
 
(areas
 
masked
 
from
 
t

he
 
driver's
 
field
 
of
 
vision),
 
as
 
soon
 
as
 
this
 
p

resents
 
a
 
potential
 
danger. Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor
  the   blind   spots.
This
 
system
 
is
 
designed
 
to
 
improve
 
safety
 
when   driving   and   is   in   no   circumstances   a  
s

ubstitute
 
for
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
the
 
interior
 
rear
 
view
 
mirror   and   door   mirrors.   It   is   the   driver's  
r

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

ther
 
vehicles
 
and
 
to
 
predict
 
their
 
movements   before   deciding   whether   to   change   lane.
The
 
blind
 
spot
 
monitoring
 
system
 
can
 
never
 
replace   the   need   for   vigilance   on   the   part   of   the  
d

river. Activation of the function is done in the touch
screen

Front parking sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is
  in   front   or   behind. The system will be deactivated
automatically
  if   a   trailer   is   being  
t

owed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on
a towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar
installed
  in   line   with   the   manufacturer's  
r

ecommendations).In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud,
  ice   or   snow.   When   reverse   gear   is  
e

ngaged,   an   audible   signal   (long   beep)  
i

ndicates   that   the   sensors   may   be   dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry,
  pneumatic   drill,   etc.)   may   trigger  
t

he   audible   signals   of   the   parking  
s

ensor   system.
As
 
an
 
addition   to   the   rear   parking   sensors,   the  
f

ront
 
parking   sensors   are   triggered   when   an  
o

bstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the
 
vehicle   remains   below   6   mph   (10   km/h).
The
 
front   parking   sensors   are   interrupted   if  
t

he vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in
 
for ward   gear,   if   no   further   obstacles   are  
d

etected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds   6   mph   (10   km/h). The   parking   sensors   can   be   deactivated   in   the

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

3

60 Vision   provides   special   visual   assistance  
i

n   particular   driving   conditions   such   as   when  
e

ntering   a   blind   junction   or   manoeuvring   in  
a

reas   of   reduced   visibility.
Once activated, this function operates up to
9 mph
  (15   km/h).   Above   18   mph   (30   km/h),   the  
f

unction   is   deactivated   automatically. This system is a visual aid which in no
circumstances can replace the need for
vigilance
  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
conditions,   or   of   low   ambient   light   may

The camera located in the front bumper is
activated and views of the areas located at
front
  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
displayed in the instrument panel and behaves
like
  a   reversing   camera,   whatever   the   position  
o

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