Blind Spot Sensors - PEUGEOT 308 Handbook

Blind spot sensors

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.
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 asses the distances and relative speeds of
other vehicles and to predict their movements before deciding whether to change lane.
The blind spot sensor system can never replace the vigilance and responsibility of
the driver.
A 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.
Operation
Activation of the system is done in the " Driving
assistance" menu, with the ignition on.
Press this button to activate the
function; the associated indicator
lamp comes on.
This indicator lamp comes on in the instrument
panel.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
