Blind Spot Detection

This driving assistance system warns the driver
of the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot angle of their vehicle (areas masked from
the driver's field of vision), as soon as this
presents a potential danger.
154
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.
This system is designed to improve safety
when driving and is in no circumstances
a substitute for the use of the interior
rear view mirror and door mirrors. It is
the driver's responsibility to constantly
check the traffic, to assess the distances
and relative speeds of other vehicles
and to anticipate their movements before
deciding whether to change lane.
The Blind Spot Detection system does not
avoid the need for vigilance on the part of
the driver.
Operation
The function is activated and
deactivated in the Vehicle/Driving
menu, then the Driving functions tab
of the touch screen.
The state of the system stays in memory when
switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towing device
approved by PEUGEOT.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
The alert is given by a warning lamp which
comes on in the door mirror on the side in
question as soon as a vehicle – car, lorry,
bicycle – is detected and the following
conditions are fulfilled:
- all the vehicles are moving in the same
direction and on adjacent lanes,
- the speed of your vehicle is between 7 and
87 mph (12 and 140 km/h),
- you overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),
- when a vehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 16 mph (25 km/h),
- the traffic is flowing normally,
