SAFETY
104
points (side, rear and front) to check
whether a signal needs to be sent to
the driver. The system can detect the
presence of a vehicle in one of these
three areas.
WARNING The system does not signal
the presence of fixed object (e.g. safety
barriers, poles, walls, etc.). However,
in some circumstances, the system
may activate in the presence of these
objects.
WARNING The system does not warn
the driver about the presence of cars
coming from the opposite direction, in
the adjacent lanes.
Warnings
For the system to operate correctly,
the bumper area where ultrasound
sensors are located must stay free from
water, snow, ice and dirt gathered from
the road surface. The system may be
disturbed in case of adverse weather
conditions (rain, snow, hail, extreme
heat, etc.) and in case of wet road
surface. In these cases, the system
may give some false signals or fail to
detect the vehicles.
Do not cover the area in which the
sensors are located with any object
(e.g. adhesives, bike rack, etc.).
The system may not recognise the
presence of long vehicles in the blind
spot.
Rear view
The system detects vehicles coming
from the rear part of your car on both
sides and entering the rear detection
area with a difference in speed of less
than approx. 30 km/h (18 mph) with
respect to your car.
Overtaking vehicles
If another vehicle is overtaken (with a
difference in speed of less than about
15 km/h), the warning light on the door
mirror of the corresponding side lights
up. If the difference in speed between
the two vehicles is greater than about
15 km/h, the warning light does not
light up.
Operating Mode
The system can be
activated/deactivated by operating on
the instrument panel display Menu,
or via the Uconnect™ system (for
further information, see the dedicated
"Multimedia" section). The system will
store the operating mode running when
the motor was switched off. Each time
the car is started the previously stored
mode will be recalled and used.
"Blind Spot Alert", "Visual" mode
When this mode is active, system
activates only a visual warning to
the door mirror relating to the object
detected.
"Blind spot alert", "Sound &
Display" mode
When this mode is active, system
activates a visual warning to the door
mirror relating to the object detected.
If the direction indicator on the side
where an obstacle has been detected
is activated, an acoustic warning is
emitted as well. When the acoustic
warning is emitted, the Uconnect™
volume is also lowered.
"Blind Spot Alert" function
deactivation
When the system is deactivated ("Blind
Spot Alert" mode at "OFF"), the system
will not emit neither acoustic nor visual
warnings.
Startup status check
With the ignition device in the ENGINE
position, if the system is enabled, the
LEDs on the exterior mirrors will light up
during the check phase. If the system
is working properly, they will switch off
after a few seconds.
