wheeling, refer to the corresponding section.
If you open the driver's door while mode N
is engaged, an audible signal will sound. It
will stop when you close the driver's door
again.
Special aspects of automatic mode
The gearbox selects the gear that offers optimum
performance, taking account of the outside
temperature, the road profile, the vehicle load and
the driving style.
For maximum acceleration, press the accelerator
fully down (kick-down). The gearbox changes
down automatically or holds the selected gear
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
Steering mounted controls allow the driver to
temporarily select a gear, if the vehicle speed and
engine speed conditions permit.
Special aspects of manual mode
The change from one gear to another takes place
only if the road speed and engine speed permit.

Then, from D or R:
►  Release the brake pedal.
►  Accelerate gradually to automatically release
the electric parking brake.
The vehicle moves off immediately.
With an automatic gearbox, never try to
start the engine by pushing the vehicle.
Stopping the vehicle
Whatever the state of the gearbox, when the
ignition is switched off, mode P is engaged
automatically and immediately.
However, in mode N, mode P will be engaged after
a delay of 5 seconds (allowing for the process of
putting the vehicle into free-wheeling mode).
Check that mode P has been engaged and
that the electric parking brake was applied
automatically; if not, apply it manually.
The corresponding indicator lamps in the
selector and the electric parking brake
control lever must be on, as well as those in the
instrument panel.
Operating faults
Gearbox malfunction
This warning lamp comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and the display of a
message.
Visit a dealer or a qualified workshop.
Do not drive faster than 62 mph (100 km/h),
keeping to the speed limit.
The gearbox switches to back-up mode: mode D
is locked in third gear, the steering-mounted
control paddles are inoperative, mode M is no
longer available. You may feel a significant jolt on
engaging reverse gear. This will not damage the
gearbox.
Selector malfunction
Minor malfunction
This warning lamp comes on, accompanied
by the display of a message and an audible

B. Unlock buttonTo unlock the selector and come out of P or
change to R, with the foot on the brake pedal.
Press and hold this button before pushing the
selector.
C. Selector state indicators (R, N, D/B)
►  Move the selector by pushing it forwards (N or
R) or backwards (N or D/B ) once or twice, passing
the point of resistance if necessary.
The push selector returns to its initial position
when released.
For example, to change from P to  R, either push
forwards twice without passing the point of
resistance or push just once, passing the point of
resistance:
–

In the first c
ase, the selector goes from P to  N,
then from N to  R.
–

In the sec
ond case, the selector goes directly
from P to  R.
Regenerative braking
The regenerative braking function emulates
engine braking, slowing the vehicle with no
need to depress the brake pedal. The vehicle
slows more quickly when the driver releases the
accelerator pedal.
When the accelerator pedal is released,
mechanical energy is recovered and used to
partially recharge the battery.
► While in mode D/B , pushing the pulse selector
backwards activates/deactivates the function.
The D on the instrument panel is replaced with
a B.
The state of the function is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
If the battery is almost fully charged, the
braking effect when the accelerator pedal
is released may be limited.
Driving modes
The number and type of driving modes available
depend on the vehicle’s engine and equipment.
Driving modes are selected using the following
control:




With an electric motor, you cannot select a mode
if the READY lamp is off.
The selected mode is activated immediately.
Whenever the ignition is switched on, NORMAL
mode is selected by default.
ECO
Reduces fuel consumption by optimising the
operation of the heating and air conditioning and,
depending on version, the accelerator pedal, the
automatic gearbox and the gear shift indicator.
Free-wheeling in ECO mode: depending on
version, with the EAT8 gearbox, moving into "free-
wheeling" is encouraged to slow the vehicle down
without using engine braking. You can save fuel
by anticipating the need to slow down and lifting
your foot fully off the accelerator pedal.
NORMAL
Restores the vehicle’s original settings.
SPORT
Enables more dynamic driving, acting on the
power steering, accelerator and gear changes
with an automatic gearbox and the possibility of
displaying the vehicle’s dynamic settings on the
instrument panel.
MANUAL
Permanent "Manual" mode with an automatic
gearbox and DS PARK PILOT.
Enables manual gear changing using the steering-
mounted paddles.
Hill start assist
This system keeps your vehicle briefly stationary
(for approximately 2 seconds) when making a hill
start, while you transfer your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This system is only active when:
– The vehicle is completely stationary, with your
foot on the brake pedal.
– Certain slope conditions are met.
– The driver’s door is closed.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If someone needs to get out of the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the parking brake
manually. After that, ensure that the parking
brake indicator lamp and the indicator lamp P
in the electric parking brake control lever are
on fixed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated. However, use of the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its
operation.

Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or masked
by a sticker.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light) can also impair
detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement,
contact a dealer or a qualified workshop
to recalibrate the camera; otherwise, the
operation of the associated driving aids may
be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s) displayed
on the touch screen or on the instrument panel
may be distorted by the relief.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors as well as
the associated functions may be disturbed
by sound interference such as that emitted
by noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of snow
or dead leaves on the road or in the event of
damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer be
detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30 cm away from
the radar, sensors and cameras.
Mats
The use of mats not approved by the
Manufacturer may interfere with the operation
of the speed limiter or cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
–

Ensure tha
t the mat is secured correctly.
–

Ne
ver fit one mat on top of another.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
in the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.

If the event of malfunction, this warning
lamp comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the system checked.
The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet surface or
moving from a dry area to a wet area can
cause false alerts (for example, the presence
of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot
angle is interpreted as a vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone in
the door mirrors or the detection zones on the
front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels
or other objects; they may hamper correct
operation of the system.
Active Blind Spot
Detection
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross
a lane marking with the direction indicator
activated, to help you avoid a collision.
This system is the combination of the Active
Lane Departure Warning System and Blind Spot
Detection.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40 and
87 mph (65 and 140 km/h).
These functions are especially suitable for driving
on motorways and main roads.
For more information on the Active Lane
Departure Warning System and Blind Spot
Detection, refer to the corresponding sections.
Active Safety Brake with
Collision Risk Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.


This system:
– warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front, a pedestrian or,
depending on version, a cyclist.
– reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a collision
or limit its severity.
The system also takes motorcyclists and
animals into account; however, animals
below 0.5 m tall and objects on the road are
not necessarily detected.
This system is comprised of three functions:
– Collision Risk Alert.
– Intelligent emergency braking assistance.
– Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).

Operating limits
– The system may suggest an inappropriate
parking space (parking prohibited, work in
progress with damaged road surface, location
alongside a ditch, etc.).
–

The s
ystem may indicate that a space has
been found but will not offer it because of a fixed
obstacle on the opposite side of the manoeuvre,
which would not allow the vehicle to follow a
trajectory required for parking.
–

The s
ystem may indicate that a space has been
found but the manoeuvre will not be triggered,
because the width of the lane is insufficient.
–

The s
ystem is not designed for performing the
parking manoeuvre on a sharp bend.
–

The s
ystem does not detect spaces that
are much larger than the vehicle itself or that
are delimited by obstacles that are too low
(pavements, studs, etc.) or too thin (trees, posts,
wire fences, etc.).
–

If the boo
t is heavily loaded, the tilt of the
vehicle towards the rear may interfere with the
distance measurements.
Do not use the function under the
following exterior conditions:
–

Alongside a so
