Deactivation / Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle stuck
in mud, immobilised in snow, on soft ground, etc.),
it may be useful to deactivate the ASR system to
freely spin the wheels and regain traction.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of grip
permits.
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
Deactivation is confirmed by the
illumination of this indicator lamp in the
instrument panel and the display of a message.
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on or
from 31 mph (50 km/h).
Reactivation is manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).
Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this
warning lamp comes on, accompanied by
an onscreen message and audible signal.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the systems checked.
ASR / DSC
These systems enhance safety during
normal driving, but should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow,
ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It
is therefore important for your safety to keep
these systems activated in all conditions, and
particularly in difficult conditions.
For technical reasons, in particular to
improve the quality of telematic services
for customers, the Manufacturer reserves the
right to carry out updates to the vehicle's
on-board telematic system at any time.
If you benefit from the DS CONNECT BOX
offer with the SOS and Assistance Pack
included, you have available additional
services in your personal space, via the
website in your country.
For information about the SOS and Assistance
Pack, please refer to the general conditions for
these services.
Electronic stability control
(ESC)
The electronic stability control programme
includes the following systems:
–

An
ti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic
brake force distribution (EBFD).
–

Emergenc
y braking assistance (EBA).
–

An
ti-slip regulation (ASR).
–

Dynamic st
ability control (DSC).
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and Electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability
and handling during braking, and enable greater
control while cornering, particularly on poor or
slippery road surfaces.
ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of
emergency braking.
EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by
wheel.
This warning lamp comes on fixed in the
event of an ABS malfunction.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at a moderate speed.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop as soon
as possible.
This warning lamp, when lit together with
the STOP and ABS warning lamps,
accompanied by a message and an audible signal,
indicates an EBFD malfunction.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.
The normal operation of the ABS may
result in slight vibrations in the brake
pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press very
firmly and maintain this pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach
the optimum braking pressure more quickly and
therefore reduce the stopping distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which the
brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a reduction
in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) /
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Anti-slip regulation optimises traction using
engine braking and by applying the brakes on the
driving wheels to avoid wheel spinning. It also
enhances the vehicle's directional stability while
accelerating.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the
dynamic stability control system automatically
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip or
trajectory problem.
This warning lamp on the instrument panel
flashes to indicate that they are operating.

Driving recommendations
► Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
►  Monitor your environment and keep your
hands on the wheel to be able to react to anything
that may happen any time.
►  Drive smoothly, anticipate the need for braking
and maintain a longer safety distance, especially
in bad weather.
►  Stop the vehicle to carry out operations that
require close attention (such as adjustments).
►  During long trips, take a break every two
hours.
Important!
Never leave the engine running in a closed
space without sufficient ventilation.
Internal combustion engines emit toxic
exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide.
Danger of poisoning and death!
In severe wintry conditions (temperature
below -23°C), let the engine run for 4
minutes before moving off, to ensure the
correct operation and durability of the
mechanical components of your vehicle
(engine and gearbox).
Never drive with the parking brake
applied. Risk of overheating and damage
to the braking system!
Do not park the vehicle or leave the engine
running on a flammable surface (dry
grass, dead leaves, etc.). The exhaust system
of your vehicle is very hot, even several
minutes after the engine stops. Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unattended with the
engine running. If you have to leave your
vehicle with the engine running, apply the
parking brake and put the gearbox into neutral
or position N or P (depending on the type of
gearbox).
Never leave children inside the vehicle
unsupervised.
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage to the
engine or gearbox, as well as to the electrical
systems of your vehicle.


If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:
►  check that the depth of water does not exceed
15 cm, taking account of waves that might be
generated by other users,
►  deactivate the Stop & Start function,
►  drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),
►  do not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle, contact
a dealer or a qualified workshop.
Noise (Electric)
On the outside
Due to the vehicle’s quiet operation when driving,
the driver should pay particular attention.
At speeds of up to 19 mph (30 km/h), the
pedestrian horn warns other road users of the
vehicle’s presence.
Cooling the traction battery
The cooling fan comes on during charging
to cool the on-board charger and the traction
battery.
On the inside
During use, you may hear certain perfectly normal
noises specific to electric vehicles, such as:
–

Traction ba
ttery relay when starting.
–

V
acuum pump when braking.
–

V
ehicle tyres or aerodynamics when driving.
– Jolting and knocking noise during hill starts.
Towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
particular care must be taken.
Do not exceed the maximum towable
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 10%
per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower air
density at high altitudes decreases engine
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles
(1,000 kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
►  Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle
and the nose weight (at the point where it joins
your vehicle) approaches the maximum permitted
without exceeding it.

and the nose weight (at the point where it joins
your vehicle) approaches the maximum permitted
without exceeding it.
Tyres
►  Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle
and of the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
Lighting
►  Check the electrical signalling on the trailer
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine towing device is used, the
rear parking sensors will be deactivated
automatically to avoid the audible signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant
temperature to increase. The maximum towable
load depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not
increase with engine speed.
►  Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to
limit heating up.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as
possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a
trailer. To avoid overheating the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys include an electronic engine immobiliser
system, with a code that must be recognised in
