F Pull the selector towards the – sign to change down a gear.
It is only possible to change from one gear to
another if the vehicle speed and engine speed
permit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
i s not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can
engage position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to keep
the vehicle stationary.
If the selector is not in position P , when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45
seconds after the ignition is switched
off, a warning message appears on the
screen.
F

eturn the selector to position P ; the
message disappears.
When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a
ford, proceed at walking pace.
Operating fault
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succession in
the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes for a
few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear
M1
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes are inactive
in manual operation. When the ignition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, associated with
an audible signal and a
message
on the screen, indicates a
gearbox
fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3
rd gear. You may then
feel a
substantial jolt when changing from P to
R and from N to R . This jolt will not cause any
damage to the gearbox. Do not exceed 60
mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Contact a dealer approved by
DS AUTOMOBILES or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-
i
f you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time,
-
i
f you force the selector from position P
to another position when the battery is
flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the engine
running (traffic jam, etc.), put the
selector in position N and apply the
parking brake.
Automatic gearbox (EAT6)
Six speed automatic gearbox which offers
a choice between the comfort of fully automatic
operation or manual gear changing.
Two driving modes are available:
-
a
utomatic operation for electronic
management of the gears by the gearbox,
-
man
ual operation for sequential changing
of the gears by the driver.

Gear efficiency indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by
advising the driver when to change up.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
It is only possible to change from one gear to
another if the vehicle speed and engine speed
permit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3
rd gear. You may then
feel a
substantial jolt when changing from P to

Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system,
t hese warning lamps come on.
Contact the dealer network or
a
qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The
engine restarts automatically – START mode –
as soon as you want to move off.
The restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
Going into engine STOP
mode
The " ECO" warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
-
w
ith a
manual gearbox , at speeds below
12
mph (20 km/h) (depending on version),
when you place the gear lever in neutral and
you release the clutch pedal.
-
w
ith a
5-speed or 6-speed electronic
gearbox , vehicle stationary or at speeds
below 5
mph (8 km/h) (depending on
version), when you press the brake pedal or
place the gear selector into position N .
-
w
ith an automatic gearbox , vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or put the gear selector in position N .
A time counter adds up the time
periods spent in STOP mode
during a
journey. It resets every
time the ignition is switched on
using the key.
Uphill, with the vehicle stationar y, the
vehicle is held for a shor t time when you
release the brake pedal.
With a
manual gearbox, if you are in first gear
or in neutral.
With an automatic gearbox, if you are in D or M .
With an electronic gearbox, if you are in
automatic mode (position A ) or in manual mode
(position M ). Downhill, with the vehicle stationary and
reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a
shor t time when you release the brake
pedal.

The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check the
tyre inflation pressure (including the spare
wheel) every month as well as before
a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section. Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3
bar to the
pressures shown on the label.
Under-inflation alert
This warning is indicated by
continuous illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and
a
message displayed on the screen.
F
R
educe speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and sudden braking.
F
S
top as soon as it is safe to do so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on a
simple visual check. F
I
f you have a compressor (such as the
one in the temporary puncture repair kit),
check the pressures of the four tyres when
cold. If it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The warning remains active until the
system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a
warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a
leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact the dealer
network or a
qualified workshop. Only use products recommended by
DS
AUTOMOBILES or products of
equivalent quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in
the braking system, DS AUTOMOBILES
selects and offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6
standard,
without adversely affecting the performance
or fuel consumption of diesel engines,
DS
AUTOMOBILES has taken the decision to
equip its vehicles with a
system that combines
SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) with
a
diesel particle filter (DPF) for the treatment of
exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the oxides of nitrogen (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
During each scheduled ser vice of your vehicle
in the dealer network or a
qualified workshop,
the AdBlue
® tank is refilled in order to allow
normal operation of the SCR system.
If the estimated distance travelled between
two ser vices is greater than 12,500
miles
(20,000
km), it will be necessary to top up the
AdBlue
®.
The AdBlue
® is contained in a special tank
w
ith a
capacity of around 17 litres: its capacity
offers a
driving range of around 12,500 miles
(20,000
km) before triggering an alert system
that warns you when you can drive for a
further
1,500
miles (2,400 km).

Identification markings
Various visible markings for the identification of
your vehicle.
A.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
under the bonnet.
B. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on
the windscreen lower cross member. C.
Manufacturer's label.
It bears the following information:
-
t
he name of the manufacturer,
-
t
he European Whole Vehicle Type Approval
number,
-
t
he vehicle identification number (VIN),
-
t
he gross vehicle weight (GV W)
-
t
he maximum authorised train weight
(GT W),
-
t
he maximum front axle weight,
-
t
he maximum rear axle weight.
D. Tyre/paint label.
This label on the centre pillar, driver's side,
contains the following information:
-
t
he tyre inflation pressures with and without
load,
-
t
he tyre sizes (including the load index and
speed rating),
-
t
he spare tyre inflation pressure,
-
t
he paint colour code.The vehicle may be originally equipped
with tyres with higher load and speed
indices than those indicated on the label,
without affecting inflation pressure.
This number is engraved on the bodywork near
the passenger compartment filter.
The number is on an adhesive label, visible
through the windscreen. This tamperproof label is affixed to the centre
pillar on the driver's side.
Checking tyre pressures
The tyre pressures should be checked when
cold at least monthly.
The pressures given on the label are valid for
cold tyres. If you have driven for more than
10
minutes or more than 6 miles (10 kilometres)
at more than 30
mph (50 km/h), the tyres will be
warm; in this case 0.3
bar (30 kPa) should be
added to the pressures given on the label.
Never reduce the pressure of a
warm tyre.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
