Blind Spot Monitoring
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
This system includes sensors, placed on the
sides of the bumpers, and warns the driver of
the potentially dangerous presence of another
vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle) in the blind spot
areas of their vehicle (areas hidden from the
driver's eld of vision).
The warning is given by a xed warning lamp
that appears in the door mirror on the side in
question:
– immediately, when being overtaken;
– after a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly.
Activation / Deactivation
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
When the function is activated, this
warning lamp comes on in the instrument
panel.
When starting the vehicle, the warning lamp
comes on in each mirror to indicate that the
system is activated.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when switching o󰀨 the ignition.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towing device
approved by CITROËN.
