system activation is signalled to the
driver by means of a visual and acoustic
warning.
WARNING If the sensors are covered by
objects or vehicles, the system will not
warn the driver.
"Blind spot alert", "Visual" mode: when
this mode is active, the BSM system
sends a visual warning to the door mirror
relating to the object detected. When
operating in RCP mode, the system
sends visual and acoustic warnings when
the presence of an approaching object is
detected. When an acoustic warning is
sent, theUconnect™ volume is lowered.
"Blind spot alert", "Sound & Display"
mode: when this mode is active, the
BSM system sends a visual warning to
the door mirror relating to the object
detected.
If the direction indicator on the side
where an obstacle has been detected is
activated, an acoustic warning is emitted
as well.
When the acoustic warning is emitted,
the Uconnect™ volume is lowered.
"Blind spot alert" function deactivation:
When the system is deactivated ("Blind
spot alert" mode at "OFF"), the BSM
or RCP systems will not emit neither
acoustic nor visual warnings. The BSM
system will store the operating mode
running when the engine was switched
off: each time the engine is started, the
operating mode stored previously will be
recalled and used.

This is a driving assistance system which
comprises a radar located behind the
front bumper fig. 69 and a camera
located in the central part of the
windscreen fig. 70.
In the event of an imminent collision
the system intervenes by automatically
braking the car to prevent the impact or
reduce its effects.
The system provides the driver with
acoustic and visual signals through
specific messages on the instrument
panel display.
The system may brake slightly to warn
the driver when a potential frontal
accident is detected. Signals and limited
braking are intended to allow the driver
to react promptly, in order to prevent
or reduce the effects of a potential
accident.

In situations with the risk of collision,
if the system detects no intervention by
the driver, it provides automatic braking
to help slow the car and mitigate the
potential frontal accident (automatic
braking).
