Hi all, we have the blindspot pictures and what looks like the light holes in our mirrors, but they never seem to light up no matter what. I can't find anything about their operation in the screen menus, and we have the Flair Plus trim I believe. We have a Jan 2020 car.

Any ideas?

Ok I be just checked my C3 Aircross, yes it could be different but this is what I found.with ignition ON go to the CAR setting function page on touchscreen by touching the car symbol bottom right of screen.
Ensure Driving Functions has red line under it bottom of screen.
On screen thee should be a line that says
Blind Spot monitoring
To right of it is a slide OFF ON
Check slider is under ON
When ON. Green symbol appears in the Speedo display bottom right.
When OFF. No symbol is present.
If switched OFF when running it DOESN'T default back ON, has to be switched.

Thanks for your reply B. In my settings it says that Blind Spot Monitoring is on, but they still don't work and I don't get any error messages.

Did it work when you got the car?
I assume you have moved the slide to OFF and back to ON.
Its still within warranty so take it back.

Blind spot monitoring is an orange dot in the top outer corner of both door mirrors on C5 Aircross. The engraving should be visible on the mirror surface.

Hope this helps.

I will sort out a picture tomorrow.

The blind spot monitoring on the C3 Aircross (and probably the same system on the C5 Aircross) uses the side-facing parking assistance sensors for the Blind Spot Monitoring. I'm not sure what you're expecting to see, as the orange spots on the mirrors will only light up if you are overtaking another vehicle or being overtaken when the other vehicle is in the blind spot area.

Just a quick tuppence worth. On a recent trip in Spain, I found the blindspot warning system quite useful, as drivers seem to be overtaking me on the wrong side! Who knew?
However, (seriously), the system worked both in heavy rain and bright sunshine, when there was no other vehicles near. I can only guess there was some sort of reflection from the Armco barrier. Anyone experienced this?

We have an issue with active blind spot mirrors on the new C4 after we p/exd our C5 Aircross.

The orange indicator on both mirrors illuminates on engine start up, and they both work.. but after a short while the n/s mirror blind spot stops working completely.
Off side works fine... switched them off and on in the settings, no improvement, so I am guessing it may be a sensor or wiring issue.
No errors appear on the touch screen... hmm.

No big deal really, the C5 Aircross was our first experience of active blind spot.. but now I only have 50% working I miss it !
We will get it looked into sometime as its still got 2 yr warranty + 1 extended.
Hey ho a minor hiccup.... still loving the change :)
