3 000 kms in and I still haven't seen the blind spot sensors even once

5 Upvotes

Driving a 2026 Dacia Santero Eco-G 120 automatic, Journey edition.

I find it very weird and I don't know whether this is a my car thing, or whether I have been incredibly lucky not to have had a ciclist come dangerously near to me from behind in 3 000 kilometres, but I can swear I don't even know what noise or alert the car is supposed to do when detecting something with such sensors because, to my knowledge, it hasn't done it even once. I knew when I bought it that this car wasn't of the highest quality, but I did want a car with these sensors on and specifically asked the dealer whether it had them, to which he said yes and I indeed see the icon in both mirrors, but that's all I've seen about it.

Whenever I am a passenger in a modern car, I see those sensors flare up all the time something gets behind it, so I am truly puzzled at whether the sensors are just poor at their job or whether it has in fact something to do with my car.

What are your thoughts on this? If you wouldn't mind, I would appreciate if you could tell me what noise or alert I am supposed to hear or see, because I haven't seen the mirrors flare up like in other cars and perhaps I am looking for wrong.

EDIT: So... I just went to my car and, as it turns out, the blind sensors were TURNED OFF by default. Wtf? This is such a weird choice; I assumed all ADAS systems were turned on by default.

Right after turning them on, they indeed flared up detecting the.. Wall behind where it is parked, so I guess they do work, after all

"Detector ángulo muerto" is the blind spot sensor:

I want to wrap my (frontal) white dacia logo and the white stripes next to it, because i don’t like the white between all the copper accents. Anyone who has done this? and which foil do i need to do this?

(Duster 3) Automatic high beams are useless

1 Upvotes

This "feature" is driving me nuts. Driving on an empty road with reflective surfaces at regular intervals on both sides? It will keep turning on and off at random. On the opposite end if you're following another car or have a car coming from behind an obstacle (with a headlight halo noticeable from far away) it often won't turn off or turn off late.

Is there any way to set high beams to manual mode without having to turn off automatic DRL/low beam switching?

Duster Windscreen - Camera Recalibration?

1 Upvotes

We're having to replace the windscreen on our 2025 Duster Extreme which is going to cost around £475 and can be done locally. The replacement company noted that this doesn't include a recalibration of the camera which is an extra £160 and a 7 hour round trip to their facility (we're well remote).

Is this actually needed?

TIA

2020 duster warning lights

1 Upvotes

Hi , new shape 2020 duster , once it's warmed up random warnings appear on the dash. Check injection flashes on then off but gradually stays on for longer periods. Then i get hill assist , abs , start stop, check anti pollution is the main one displayed from then. If i turn it off and restart the car I'm good , but then when i drive forward the warnings appear. If i stop then reverse a few feet the warnings completely disappear. Am i right in thinking it's a damaged wire in the engine bay? Thanks in advance.
