Long-distance blind spot
monitoring
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .


This system warns the driver of vehicles
approaching rapidly from the rear in adjacent
lanes (up to around 75 m) and of the presence of
a vehicle in the blind spots of their vehicle, using
corner radars located in the rear bumper.
This system takes into account vehicles
such as cars, lorries and motorcycles by
monitoring the blind spots or areas hidden
from the driver's field of vision.

133
Driving
6This system detects and signals the proximity of
obstacles (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier)
using sensors located in the bumper.
Rear parking sensors
► Engage reverse gear to start the system
(confirmed by an audible signal).
The system is switched off when reverse gear is
disengaged.
Audible assistance

The system signals the presence of obstacles
which are both within the sensors’ detection zone
and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of
the steering wheel.


Depending on version, in the example shown,
only the obstacles present in the shaded area
will be signalled by the audible assistance.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
Adjusting the audible signalPressing this button in the touch
screen opens the window for
adjusting the volume of the audible signal.
Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal, without
taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by
displaying bars on the screen that represent the
distance between the obstacle and the vehicle
(white: more distant, orange: close, red: very
close).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
Supplementing the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the
vehicle is below 6 mph (10
km/h).
Front parking sensor operation is suspended if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in
forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected
or the vehicle speed exceeds 6
mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) locates the obstacle relative to
the vehicle, whether in front of or behind it on
its path.
Deactivation/Activation
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
If the function is deactivated, this indicator
lamp lights up on the instrument panel.
The system status is saved when the ignition is
switched off.

135

making it possible to manoeuvre the vehicle
around the surrounding obstacles.
Using the sensors located on the rear bumper,
the automatic zoom view is displayed when
approaching an obstacle at the red line (less
than 30 cm) during the manoeuvre.
This view is only available automatically.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
It is important to monitor the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
Parking sensors also provide additional
information about the area around the vehicle.
