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.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
driver.
Operation
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
-
im
mediately, when being overtaken,
-
af

ter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly. F
On s

witching 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.
driving

DS5_en_Chap04_conduite_ed02-2015
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,
cycle - is detected.
For this, the following conditions must be met:
-
al

l the vehicles must be moving in the
same direction,
-
th

e speed of your vehicle is between 7 and
75 mph (12 and 140 km/h),
-
wh

en you overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),
-
wh

en a vehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 15 mph (25 km/h),
-
th

e traffic must be flowing normally,
-
in t

he case of an overtaking manoeuvre,
if this is prolonged and the vehicle being
overtaken remains in the blind spot,
-
yo

u are driving on a straight or slightly
curved road,
-
yo

ur vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a
caravan... No alert will be given in the following situations:
-
in t

he presence of immobile objects
(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,
road signs...),
-
wi

th vehicles moving in the opposite
direction,
-
dr

iving on a sinuous road or a sharp
c o r n e r, -
wh

en overtaking (or being overtaken by) a
very long vehicle (lorry, coach...) which is
at the same time detected at the rear in the
blind spot angle and present in the driver's
for ward field of vision,
-
in v

ery heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a lorry
or a stationary object,
-
wh

en overtaking quickly.

F To 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. 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.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towbar approved by
CITROËN.
