rainfall without any action on the part of the
driver.
Detection of rainfall is by means of a sensor at
the top centre of the windscreen, behind the
rear view mirror.
Switching on
F Give a short downwards push to the control stalk.
A wiping cycle confirms that the instruction has
been accepted.
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by a
message.
Switching off
F Give the control stalk a further brief push downwards or place the control stalk in
another position ( Int, 1 or 2 ).
This indicator lamp goes off in the
instrument panel, accompanied by a

The automatic windscreen wipers must be
reactivated by pushing the control stalk
downwards, if the ignition has been off for
more than one minute.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs with the automatic rain
sensitive wipers, the wipers will operate in
intermittent mode.

Lighting and visibility

170
After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a new alert with the message "Take a break!",
accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal. When the system interprets the behaviour of
the vehicle as indicating a certain fatigue or
inattention threshold on the part of the driver,
it triggers the first level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message
" Ta k e c a r e ! ", accompanied by an audible
signal.
Active Blind Spot
Monitoring System
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross a
lane marking with the direction indicators on,
to
help you avoid a collision.
This system is the combination of the Active
Lane Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot
Detection.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
The speed of the vehicle must be between
40
and 87 mph (65 and 140 km/h) inclusive.
These functions are especially suitable for
driving on motor ways and main roads.
For more information on the Active Lane
Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot
Detection , refer to the corresponding sections.
This system is a driving aid which cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's
level of vigilance. The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate lighting of
the roadway, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, etc.),
-

d

vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),

markings not detected),
-

r

oads that are narrow, winding, etc.
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
conceal the detection camera.

This driving aid 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
relative distances and speeds of other
vehicles and to anticipate their movements
before deciding whether to change lane.
This system is a driving aid which cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Activation/Deactivation
The function is activated and
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.
The state of the system is memorised when
switching off the ignition. The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towing device
approved by PEUGEOT.
Operation
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
The alert is given by an orange warning lamp
coming on in the relevant door mirror, as soon
as a vehicle – car, lorry, bicycle – is detected.
The following conditions must be met for this:
-

a
ll vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes,

in the instrument panel, accompanied by a
message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked. The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
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 towing device
approved by PEUGEOT.
