Exit Warning
The door opening warning (Exit Warning)
warns occupants of a possible collision when
opening the door when the vehicle is station-
ary.
The system monitors, within the limits of
the system itself, the rear and side environ-
ment of the vehicle using the rear sensors
›››page196. It detects moving objects
that approach from behind, such as cars
›››Fig.167.
If a critical situation is detected when the door
is opened, an alert is given by an acoustic sig-
nal on the door speaker of the corresponding
side ›››Fig.168. The side assist control lamp
on the side of the corresponding door will also
ash. If the door has already been opened and
another road user has been detected in a crit-
ical situation, the control lamp of the lane de-
parture warning on the corresponding side will
light up permanently.
The brightness of the door opening assistant
display can be adjusted by accessing the Side
Assist menu.
When you want to access the vehicle for the
rst time, with the doors closed and locked,
the function will be available 3 minutes after
the rst opening of any of the doors. The func-
tion will continue to be available as long as the
vehicle has the ignition connected and is not
moving.
After switching
o the ignition, the function will
remain available for approximately 3 minutes.
After that time, the control lamps will light up
indicating the deactivation of the function.
Connecting and disconnecting
The door opening assistant can be switched on
and o by accessing the Assistants menu in
the infotainment system. It can also be found
in the Park Assist Settings menu.
When the vehicle is restarted, the last adjust-
ment in the system will remain active.
Trailer mode
The door opening assistant will be automati-
cally deactivated and it will be impossible to
activate it if the tow hitch is electrically con-
nected to a trailer or other similar object.
Once the trailer is uncoupled from the vehicle,
the assistant will return to its initial state prior
to the moment when the trailer was electrically
connected.
If the tow hitch is not factory tted, then the
door opening assistant will have to be deacti-
vated manually when driving with a trailer.
WARNING
●
Always pay close attention to the
traic
and the surroundings of the vehicle. The
door opening warning (Exit Warning) cannot
replace the necessary attention to be paid
by the vehicle’s occupants. Responsibility for
opening the doors and exiting the vehicle al-
ways lies with its occupants.
●
The door opening warning (Exit Warning)
operates continuously as long as the vehicle
ignition is on. Otherwise, the system is deac-
tivated and the lamps light up briey.
●
It is possible that the traic situation is
not interpreted correctly and you cannot be
aware of all the objects that are approaching,
such as pedestrians. Always visually monitor
the traic and the area surrounding the vehi-
cle.
WARNING
The door opening warning (Exit Warning) is
subject to system limits and cannot warn of
an imminent collision in all cases:
●
If your vehicle is too deep in the parking
space and the adjacent vehicles hide it.
●
In certain circumstances, objects or people
who approach, e.g. on a bicycle or scooter,
are not detected.
●
The system does not react to stopped ob-
jects.
