above 37 mph (60 km/h) and there is a risk of
one of these lines on the ground being crossed,

Fatigue detection system
the system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
-
e
ngine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes,
-

t
he ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes,
-

t
he driver's seat belt is unfastened and
their door is open.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle
drops below 40 mph (65 km/h), the
system goes into standby.
th

e driving time is counted again once
the speed is above 40 mph (65 km/h).
th

e system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Do not take the wheel if you are tired.
th
e system triggers an alert once it
detects that the driver has not taken
a break after two hours of driving at a
speed above 40 mph (65 km/h).
It is recommended that you take a break as
soon as you feel tired or at least every two
hours.
Depending on version, the vehicle either has
the "Driving time warning system" only, or this
combined with the "Fatigue detection system".

using a camera placed at the top of the
windscreen, the system assesses the driver's
level of vigilance by identifying variations in
trajectory compared to the lane markings.
th
is system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40 mph (65 km/h))
Fatigue detection system
Depending on version, the "Driving time
warning system" may be combined with the
"Fatigue detection system".
th

e system cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Do not drive if you are tired or taking
medicines that can cause drowsiness.
on
ce the system considers that the behaviour
of the vehicle suggests a certain level of fatigue
or inattention by the driver, it triggers the first
level of alert.
After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a new alert with the message " Take a break!",
accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal. In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system
may give alerts independent of the
driver's level of vigilance.
th

e following situations may inter fere
with operation of the system or prevent
it working:
-
p

oor visibility (inadequate lighting
of the roadway, falling snow, heavy
rain, dense fog, ...),
-

vehicle, low sun, reflections on
a damp road, leaving a tunnel,

Blind spot monitoring system
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.th
is 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.
th
e 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:
-
a
ll the vehicles must be moving in the
same direction and on adjacent lanes,
-
t
he speed of your vehicle is between 7 and
87 mph (12 and 140 km/h),
-
w
hen you overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),
- w hen a vehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 15 mph (25 km/h),
-

t
he traffic must be flowing normally,
-

i
n the case of an overtaking manoeuvre,
if this is prolonged and the vehicle being
overtaken returns to the blind spot,
-

y
ou are driving on a straight or slightly
curved road,
-

y
our vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a
caravan...
th

is 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.
th

e blind spot sensor system does not
replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.

Operating fault
Have it checked by a PEugEo t dealer or a
qualified workshop.
th
e 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.ta ke 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.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment:
With the touch screen
In the Driving
menu, activate/deactivate " Blind
spot monitoring ".
In the event of a fault, these warning lamps
flash.
th
