● wet road reflecting lights
● close vehicles ahead
● tractors, muddy vehicles or vehicles
with a trailer

If a sensor is covered, a message
is displayed indicating that the camera
sensors must be cleaned.
If the system is temporarily affected and
no driver action is required, no message
is displayed.
Complete attention is always required
while driving, and be ready to take action
to avoid crashes.

in the vehicle personalisation in the
following cases:
● when towing a trailer or caravan
● when carrying long objects on roof bars
or a roof rack
● when the vehicle is being towed
● when performing any maintenance with
ignition on
● when the vehicle is fitted with snow
chains
● when a spare wheel is fitted that is
smaller than the other wheels
● before using an automatic car wash
● before placing the vehicle on a rolling
road in a workshop
● if the windscreen has been damaged
close to the camera
● if the front bumper has been damaged
or deformed
● if the radar unit is out of its regular
position resulting from an impact of the
front bumper
● if the brake lights are not working
