PEUGEOT 3008 2017 Handbook page 203

- the traffic is flowing normally,
- in the case of an overtaking manoeuvre,
if this is prolonged and the vehicle being
overtaken remains in the blind spot,
- you are driving on a straight or slightly
curved road,
- your vehicle is not towing a trailer, a
caravan, etc.
No alert will be given in the following situations:
- in the presence of non-moving objects
(parked vehicles, safety barriers, street
lamps, road signs, etc.),
- with vehicles moving in the opposite
direction,
- driving on a winding road or a sharp corner,
- when overtaking or being overtaken by a
very long vehicle (lorry, bus, etc.) which is
also in the rear blind spot and present in the
driver's front field of vision,
- when overtaking quickly,
- in very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a lorry or
a stationary object.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, this warning
lamp flashes for a few moments in the instrument
panel, accompanied by the Service warning lamp
coming on and the display of a message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions (rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet surface
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or
snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone
in the door mirrors or the detection
zones on the front and rear bumpers
with adhesive labels or other objects;
they may hamper the correct operation
of the system.
