Be sure to always be aware of the vehicle's
surroundings, since the system often fails to
detect things such as bicycles or pedestrians.

Door: warning lamp
The door opening warning (Exit Assist) warns
occupants of a possible collision when open-
ing the door when the vehicle is stationary.
The system monitors, within the limits of
the system itself, the rear and side environ-
ment of the vehicle using the rear sensors
›››
page 176. It detects moving objects
that approach from behind, such as cars

Fig. 156.
If a critical situation is detected when the door
is opened, an alert is given by an acoustic sig-
nal on the door speaker of the corresponding
›››
side
Fig. 157. The side assist control lamp
on the side of the corresponding door will also
flash. If the door has already been opened and
another road user has been detected in a crit-
ical situation, the control lamp of the lane de-
parture warning on the corresponding side will
light up permanently.
The brightness of the door opening warning
indication cannot be adjusted.
When you want to access the vehicle for the
first time, with the doors closed and locked,
the function will be available 3 minutes after
the first opening of any of the doors. The func-
tion will continue to be available as long as the
vehicle has the ignition connected and is not
moving.
After switching off the ignition, the function will
remain available for approximately 3 minutes.
After that time, the control lamps will light up
indicating the deactivation of the function.
Connecting and disconnecting
The door opening assistant can be switched on
and off by accessing the Assistants menu in
the infotainment system. It can also be found
in the Park Assist Settings menu.
When the vehicle is restarted, the last adjust-
ment in the system will remain active.
Trailer mode
The door opening assistant will be automati-
cally deactivated and it will be impossible to
activate it if the tow hitch is electrically con-
nected to a trailer or other similar object.
Once the trailer is uncoupled from the vehicle,
the assistant will return to its initial state prior
to the moment when the trailer was electrically
connected.
If the tow hitch is not factory fitted, then the
door opening assistant will have to be deacti-
vated manually when driving with a trailer.
