driver indicates the intention of moving off again.
►  With a manual gearbox: with the clutch pedal
fully depressed.
►  With an automatic gearbox:
•

With the select
or in position D or M: with the
brake pedal released.
•

With the select
or in position N and the brake
pedal released: with the selector at D or M.
•

With the select
or in position P and the brake
pedal depressed: with the selector at R, N, D
or M.
•

R
everse gear engaged.
Special cases
The engine restarts automatically if all the
operating conditions are met again and in the
following cases.
–
With a manual gearbo
x: vehicle speed exceeds
2.5 mph (4 km/h),
–

With an aut
omatic gearbox, in mode N, vehicle
speed exceeds 0.6 mph (1 km/h).
In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes
for a few seconds, then goes off.
Malfunctions
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp flashes for a few moments, then
remains on, accompanied by an onscreen
message.
Have the vehicle checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if there is a fault.
►  Switch off the ignition then start the engine
again with the "START/STOP" button.
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V
battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work concerning the battery must be
carried out only by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the pressures
of the tyres while driving.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which must
be reinitialised every time the tyre pressures are
adjusted or a wheel changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it detects
a drop in the inflation pressure of one or more
tyres.
Under-inflation detection does not replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel) as well as before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high speed,
long journey):
–

w
orsens road-holding.
–

lengthens braking dist
ances.
–

c
auses premature wear of the tyres.
–

increase
s fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the Identification
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at
moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown
on the label.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and, depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
►  Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
►  Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

94
Driving06
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
►  Using 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.
►  In the event of a puncture, use the temporary
puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (depending
on equipment).
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,
and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written on
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
With the vehicle stationary, the system is
reinitialised via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu..
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Malfunction
These warning lamps come on in
the event of a malfunction.
A message appears, accompanied by an audible
signal.
In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring
function is no longer performed.
Have the system checked by a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in
all circumstances and must be able to retake
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt
the speed to climactic conditions, traffic and
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
check the traffic, to assess the relative
distances and speeds of other vehicles and to
anticipate their movements before indicating
and changing lane.
The systems cannot exceed the limits of the
laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel
with both hands, always use the interior and
exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the feet
close to the pedals and take a break every two
hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and during
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the
mirrors.
Radar
The operation of the radar as well as the
associated functions may be impaired through
the accumulation of dirt (mud, frost, etc.),
in certain difficult weather conditions (very
heavy rain, snow) or if the bumper is damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact
a dealer or a qualified workshop; certain types
of paint could interfere with the operation of
the radar.


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

Speed limit at certain times
Example:


19 mph (30 km/h) (for example)
with a "clock" symbol
The units for the speed limit (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
This should be taken into account so that you
observe the speed limit.
For the system to work correctly when
changing country, the speed unit in the
instrument panel must correspond to that of
the country you are driving in.
The automatic reading of road signs is a
driving aid system and does not always
display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system is designed to detect signs that
conform to the Vienna Convention on road
signs.
Specific speed limits, such as those for
heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit in the instrument
panel is updated when passing a speed limit
sign intended for cars (light vehicles).
Activation / Deactivation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
Information displayed on the
instrument panel


1. Detected speed limit indication

In the case of suggested maximum speeds, the
first time the vehicle exceeds the suggested
speed by more than 3 mph (5 km/h) (e.g. 59 mph
(95 km/h)), the speed is displayed flashing for 10
seconds.
Operating limits
The system does not take account of reduced
speed limits, especially those imposed in the
following cases:
–

A
tmospheric pollution.
–
Towing.
–

Other signs: when approaching one of these
signs, the sign’s symbol is displayed in the
instrument panel.
The actual road signs always take priority
over the display from the system.
The signs must comply with the Vienna
Convention on road signs.
Activation / Deactivation
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
Speed limiter
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.
This system prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by the
driver (speed setting).
The speed limiter is switched on manually.
The minimum speed setting is 19 mph (30 km/h).
The speed setting remains in the system memory
when the ignition is switched off.

Activation/Deactivation



►  With the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop &
Go function activated, press this button.
The action is confirmed by:
–

The indic
ator lamp in the button lighting up
green.
–

The follo
wing symbol being displayed on the
instrument panel.
The colour of the symbol on the instrument panel
depends on the operating status of the system:
(grey colour)
One or more operating conditions is not
met; the system is paused.
(green colour)
All operating conditions are met; the
system is active.
(orange colour)
System malfunction.
For vehicles equipped with a head-up
display, the information is projected onto
the blade.
If the driver no longer wishes to use the system
for a while, they can deactivate it by pressing the
button again.
The indicator lamp in the button goes off and the
symbol disappears from the instrument panel.
The system status is saved when the
ignition is switched off.
Cruise control
The driver must hold the steering wheel properly.
When cruise control is activated, the symbol is
displayed in green: by small steering actions, the
system directs the vehicle and keeps it in the
position chosen by the driver, in the traffic lane.
This position is not necessarily the centre of the
lane.
The driver can feel movements in the steering
wheel.
The driver can change the position of the vehicle
at any time, by turning the steering wheel, which
suspends the function. The driver positions the
vehicle where they wish to in the lane. When
the driver feels that the vehicle’s position is
appropriate, they maintain it until the function
is reactivated. The system regains control by
regulating on the new defined position.
Pausing/Suspending the
system
The driver must act promptly if they
believe that the traffic conditions or the
state of the road surface require their
intervention, by moving the steering wheel to
temporarily suspend system operation. Any
action on the brake pedal that results in cruise
control being paused will also cause the
system to be paused.
If the system detects that the driver is not
holding the wheel firmly enough, it
triggers a series of gradual alerts and then
deactivates itself if there is no response from
the driver.
If the function is suspended due to the
prolonged release of the force holding the
steering wheel, you must reactivate it by
pressing the button again.
Automatic pause
– Triggering o f the ESC.
– Prolonged failure t o detect one of the lane
limit markings. In this case, the active lane
departure warning function can take over, and the
system will reactivate itself once the operating
conditions are again met.
In response to action by the driver: suspension
– Activation of the direction indicators.
– Tra velling outside the lane limits.

that the correction will not be enough and that a solid line
will be crossed (orange line): the driver is warned that they
must provide additional trajectory adjustment.
– If the st eering wheel is not held properly, an audible
warning sounds, accompanied by a message, until the
trajectory correction is completed or the driver has grasped
the steering wheel correctly.
The duration of audible warnings will increase if multiple
corrections are performed in quick succession. The warning
will become continuous, persisting until the driver responds.

Deactivation / Activation



►  Press this button to deactivate / reactivate
the system at any time.
Deactivation is signalled by the lighting of
the indicator lamp in the button and this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
The system is automatically reactivated every
time the ignition is switched on.
Malfunction
In the event of a system
malfunction, these warning lamps
come on on the instrument panel, accompanied
by an onscreen message and an audible signal.
Have the system checked by a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Blind Spot Detection
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.

116
Driving06
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
The driver must always stay in control of the
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time to
avoid an accident.
After an impact, the function
automatically stops operating. Contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver that their vehicle is
at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front, or a
pedestrian or cyclist present in their traffic lane.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
The threshold is set via the Driving /
Vehicle touch screen menu.
►  Select one of the three pre-defined thresholds:
–

"Distant".
–

“Normal".
–

“Close".
The last threshold selected is memorised when
the ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert trigger
threshold chosen by the driver, several different
levels of alert may be triggered and displayed in
the instrument panel.
The system takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the one
in front, the environmental conditions and the
operation of the vehicle (actions on the pedals,
the steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the alert at the
best moment.
Level 1 (orange): visual alert only,
indicating that the vehicle in front is very
close.
The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.
Level 2 (red): visual and audible alert,
indicating that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake!" is displayed.
Level 3: in some cases, a vibration alert in the
form of micro-braking can be given, confirming
the risk of collision.
Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high approaching another vehicle, the
first level of alert may not be displayed: the
level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important: the level 1 alert is not displayed
when there is a stationary obstacle or when
the "Close" trigger threshold has been
selected.
Intelligent emergency braking
assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid a
collision, this system will supplement the braking,
within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if the driver
presses the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake

This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, intervenes following the alerts if the
driver does not react quickly enough and does not
operate the vehicle's brakes.
It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid a
collision where the driver fails to react.
Operation
The system operates subject to the following
conditions:
– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 37 mph (60
km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle or a cyclist
is detected.
– The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and
53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with
camera only) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle is
detected.
This warning lamp immediately flashes
(for approximately 10 seconds) when the
function acts on the vehicle’s braking.
With an automatic gearbox or drive selector, in
the event of automatic emergency braking until
the vehicle comes to a complete stop, keep the
brake pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle
from moving off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic
emergency braking until the vehicle comes to a
complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the
vehicle at any time by firmly turning the
steering wheel and/or firmly depressing the
accelerator pedal.

are alerted by the fixed illumination of this
warning lamp, accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the system checked.
If these warning lamps come on
after the engine has been switched
off and then restarted, contact a dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the system checked.
Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.


Using sensors located in the bumper, this
system signals the proximity of obstacles (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in
their field of detection.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear, as confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out of
reverse gear.
Audible assistance

The system signals the presence of obstacles
within the sensors’ detection zone.


Depending on version, in the example shown, only
the obstacles present in the shaded area will be
signalled by the audible assistance.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of

118
Driving06
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
Adjusting the audible signalWith DS CONNECT RADIO or DS
CONNECT NAV, pressing this
button opens the window for adjusting the
volume of the audible signal.
Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal by displaying
bars on the screen that represent the distance
between the obstacle and the vehicle (white:
more distant, orange: close, red: very close).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
Supplementing the rear parking sensors, the front
parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle
is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle is
still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
Front parking sensor operation is suspended if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in
forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected
or the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) locates the obstacle relative to
the vehicle, in front or behind it.
Deactivation / Activation
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory when
the ignition is switched off.


The rear parking sensors system will be
deactivated automatically if a trailer or
bicycle carrier is connected to a towing device
installed in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations.
In this case, the outline of a trailer is displayed
at the rear of the image of the vehicle.
The parking sensors are deactivated while the
Park Assist and DS PARK PILOT functions are
measuring a space.
For more information on the Park Assist or the DS
PARK PILOT, refer to the corresponding section.
When the vehicle is started, the visual and
audible aids will be available after the
touch screen has started up.
Operating limits
If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may tilt,
affecting distance measurements.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction when shifting
to reverse, this warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel, accompanied by the display
of a message and an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the system checked.
Reversing camera
Refer to the General recommendations on the use

As soon as reverse gear is engaged with the
engine running, this system displays views of your

119
Driving06
vehicle’s close surroundings on the touch screen
using a camera located at the rear of the vehicle.




The screen is divided into two parts with a
contextual view and a view from above the vehicle
in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the information
on the view from above the vehicle.
Various contextual views may be displayed:
–
St
andard view.
–

AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses to display the
best view (standard or zoom).
You can change the type of view at any time
during a manoeuvre.
The state of the function is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
Principle of operation

Using the rear camera, the vehicle's close
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres at
low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the brackets) in real time and as the
manoeuvre progresses.
It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when
parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle
to be seen. It is automatically deleted if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.
