Driving
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
working:

street lighting, snowfall, rain, fog),
- dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light),
- windscreen area located in front of the
camera: dirty, misted, frost-covered,
snow-covered, damaged or covered by
a sticker,
- lane markings worn, hidden (snow,
mud) or multiple (roadworks, etc.),
- running close to the vehicle in front
(the lane markings may not be
detected),
- roads that are narrow, winding, etc.

Deactivation of the system is recommended in
the following situations:
- driving on a road surface in poor condition,
- unfavourable climatic conditions,
- driving on slippery surfaces (ice).

Blind Spot Detection

This system warns the driver of the presence
of another vehicle in the blind spots of their
vehicle (areas hidden from the driver's field
of vision), as soon as this presents a potential
danger.
A fixed warning lamp 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.
