This system warns the driver of a potential
danger posed by the presence of another vehicle
(car, lorry, motorcycle) in the vehicle's blind
spots (areas hidden from the driver's field of
vision) using sensors located on the sides of the
bumpers...
Operating limits
No alert is triggered in the following conditions:
presence of stationary objects (e.g. parked
vehicles, safety rails, lampposts, signs)...
Other information:
The system may suggest an inappropriate
parking space (parking prohibited, work in
progress with damaged road surface, location
alongside a ditch, etc.).
The system may indicate that a space has
been found but will not offer it because of a fixed
obstacle on the opposite side of the manoeuvre,
which does not allow the vehicle to follow the
trajectory required for parking...
