The door opening warning (Exit Assist) warns
occupants of a possibl
e collision when opening
the door when the vehicle is stationary.
The system monitors, within the limits of the
syst
em itself, the rear and side environment of
the vehicle using the rear sensors ›››page178.
It detects moving objects that approach from
behind, such as cars ›››Fig.157.
If a critical situation is detected when the door
is opened, an alert is given by an acoustic sig-
nal on the door speaker of the corresponding
side ›››Fig.158. The side assist control lamp
on the side of the corresponding door will also
flash. If the door has already been opened and
another road user has been detected in a crit-
ical situation, the control lamp of the lane de-
parture warning on the corresponding side will
light up permanently.
The brightness of the door opening warning in-
dication cannot be adjusted.
When you want to access the vehicle for the
first time, with the doors closed and locked, the
function will be available 3 minutes after the
first opening of any of the doors. The function
will continue to be available as long as the
vehicle has the ignition connected and is not
moving.
After switching o the ignition, the function will
remain available for approximately 3 minutes.
After that time, the control lamps will light up
indicating the deactivation of the function.
Connecting and disconnecting
The door opening assistant can be switched on
and o by accessing the Assistants menu in
the infotainment system. It can also be found in
the Park Assist Settings menu.
When the vehicle is restarted, the last adjust-
ment in the system will remain active.
Trailer mode
The door opening assistant will be automati-
cally deactivated and it will be impossible to
activate it if the tow hitch is electrically connec-
ted to a trailer or other similar object.
Once the trailer is uncoupled from the vehicle,
the assistant will return to its initial state prior
to the moment when the trailer was electrically
connected.
If the tow hitch is not factory fitted, then the
door opening assistant will have to be deacti-
vated manually when driving with a trailer.
WARNING
Always pay close attention to the tr
ac
and the surroundings of the vehicle. The door
opening warning (Exit Assist) cannot replace
the necessary attention to be paid by the
vehicles occupants. The responsibility for
opening the doors and exiting the vehicle al-
ways lies with the occupants of the same.
