Operating limits


No alert is triggered in the following conditions:
- presence of stationary objects (e.g. parked
vehicles, safety rails, lampposts, signs).
- vehicles travelling in the opposite direction.
- on winding roads or in case of sharp turns.
- when overtaking or being overtaken by a
very long vehicle (e.g. truck, bus), which is both
detected in a blind spot from behind and present
in the driver's field of vision from the front.
- quick overtaking manoeuvre.
- very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a lorry or a
stationary object.
- activation of the Park Assist or DS PARK
PILOT function.
Malfunction
If the event of a malfunction,
this warning
lamp comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The system may be
temporarily disturbed
by certain climatic conditions (e.g. rain,
hail).
In particular, driving on a wet road or going
from a dry to a wet area can cause false alerts
(e.g. presence of a cloud of water droplets in
the blind spot 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 correct
operation of the system.
