centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
Adjusting the audible signal
With DS CONNECT RADIO or DS
CONNECT NAV, pressing this
buttonopens the window for adjusting the
volume of the audible signal.
Visual assistance
It supplements the audible assistance, without
taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by
displaying bars on the screen that represent the
distance between the obstacle and the vehicle
(white: more distant obstacles, orange: close
obstacles, red: very close obstacles).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
Supplementing the rear parking sensors, the front
parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle
Malfunction
If the event of malfunction, this warning
lamp comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Contact a 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 surface 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 correct
operation of the system.
Active Blind Spot
Detection
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 indicator
activated, to help you avoid a collision.
This system is the combination of the Active
Lane Departure Warning System and Blind Spot
Detection.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40 and
87mph (65 and 140km/h).
These functions are especially suitable for driving
on motorways and main roads.
For more information on the Active Lane
Departure Warning System and Blind Spot
Detection, refer to the corresponding sections.
Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.
Using sensors located in the bumper, this
system signals the proximity of obstacles
(e.g.pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in
their field of detection.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out of
reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The system signals the presence of obstacles
which are both within the sensors’ detection zone
and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of
the steering wheel.
Depending on version, in the example shown, only
the obstacles present in the shaded area will be
signalled by the audible assistance.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
