– when the vehicle speed is between approximately 30 km/h (19 mph) and
140 km/h (87 mph);
– when another vehicle is in the blind spot area and travelling in the same

If another vehicle is being overtaken,
the indicator 4 will be activated only if
that vehicle remains in the blind spot for
more than one second.

larly, so that the indicator lights 4 can
be seen properly.

Operating faults
If the system detects a fault, the mes-
sage “Check blind spot alert” is dis-
played on the instrument panel. Consult
an authorised dealer.
Note: When the engine is started, the
indicator light 4 (display B) flashes
three times. It is normal.
– The system’s detection
range operates according
to a standard lane width. If
you are driving in wide traf-
fic lanes, the system might not
be able to detect a vehicle in the
blind spot.
– The system might be disrupted momentarily if it is exposed to
strong electromagnetic waves
(as beneath high-tension power
lines) or to very poor weather
conditions (heavy rain, snow,
etc.). Remain aware of driving
conditions.
There is a risk of accidents.
BLIND SPOT WARNING (3/3)
Because sensors have
been installed in the bum-
pers, any work (repairs, re-
placements, touching up of
paintwork) must be carried out by a
qualified professional.

This function is an addi-
tional aid which indicates
other vehicles in the blind
spot area.
It can never in any case be a subs-
titute for care nor for the driver’s
responsibility while in charge of his
vehicle.
The driver should always look out
for sudden hazards during driving:
make sure while manoeuvring that
there are no moving or movable ob-
jects (such as a child, an animal, a
pushchair or a bicycle) or small or
narrow obstacles (such as a boulder
or a post) in the blind spot area.
