Safe passenger exit
Safe passenger exit
Description
This function is an additional driving aid for the safety of the occupants of the
vehicle.
The purpose of the "Safe passenger exit" function is to warn the driver and/or passengers
of the potential danger if they open their doors when the vehicle is stationary.
Using information from the sensors installed on each side of the rear bumper (area
C), the function warns the driver:
- when another vehicle (or motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, etc.) is within the detection zone A;
and
- when there is a risk of collision with a vehicle (or motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, etc.) in the zone B.
Special feature
Ensure that zone C around the radars on each side of the rear bumper are not obstructed (by dirt, mud,
snow, etc.).
If one of the radars is obscured, the "Side radars without visibility" message is displayed on the instrument panel. Clean the area where the sensors are
located.
You must deactivate the function if:
- the radar zone C has been damaged (rear bumper);
- the vehicle is fitted with a towbar that is not recognised by the system.
Operation
When a door is opened, when a moving object is detected, the warning light 1 is displayed on the door mirror 2 and, depending on the vehicle, the ambient lights in the front door are illuminated.
Note: clean the door mirrors 2 regularly so that the warning light 1 can be seen.
When the detected object is very close, a beep will sound, along with the warning
message "Lateral obstacle detected" 3 on the instrument panel.
Note: the system remains active for some time after the ignition has been switched off.
Activating/deactivating the function from the multimedia screen 4
To activate or deactivate the function, refer to the multimedia instructions.
Tip
When the vehicle is unlocked, the function returns to the last saved status on the
multimedia screen.
Conditions for non-function
- the vehicle is moving and is not completely stationary;
- the vehicle is locked from the outside;
- there are moving objects (motorbikes, bicycles, pedestrians, vehicles, etc.) moving towards or near your vehicle at a low speed that is not considered a risk by the system;
- the range of the sensors located inside the rear bumper is hidden by objects, such as other particularly wide parked vehicles those parked very close to your vehicle.
If the vehicle is equipped with a towbar recognised by the system, the "Driving aids unavailable" message is displayed on the instrument panel to inform you that the function is
not operational.
For information on the range of equipment adapted to your vehicle, we advise you to
consult an approved Dealer.
Operating faults
When the system detects a fault, the "Check side radars" message is displayed on the instrument panel. Consult an approved dealer.
WARNING
This function is an additional driving aid and may not detect certain vehicles or
objects in movement in the vicinity of your vehicle. This function is not in any way
a substitute for the vigilance and responsibility of the driver and the occupants
of the vehicle, who are always responsible for paying particular attention to the
traffic situation and checking the area before leaving the vehicle.
In the event of system disturbance
Certain conditions (complex environment, poor weather conditions, etc.) may disrupt
or damage the operation of the system, with the risk of false alarms.
