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.

Cruise control
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids and to Cruise
control - particular recommendations.
This system automatically keeps the
vehicle’s speed at the cruise value
programmed by the driver (speed setting),
without using the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h).
With a manual gearbox, third gear or higher must
be engaged.
With an automatic gearbox, mode D or second
gear or higher in mode M must be engaged.
With a drive selector, mode D or B must be
engaged.
Cruise control remains active after
changing gear, regardless of the gearbox
type, on engines fitted with Stop & Start.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
speed setting.

and Recommendation shown on the instrument
panel:
►  Press button 5 once; a message is displayed to
confirm the memorisation request.
►  Press button 5 again to save the suggested
speed.
The speed is immediately shown on the
instrument panel as the new speed setting.
Switching off
►  Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "OFF" position:
the cruise control information disappears from
the screen.
Malfunction

The display of dashes (flashing then fixed)
indicates a malfunction with the cruise control
system.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Memorising speeds
This function, used only for the speed limiter and
programmable cruise control, lets you save speed
settings that will subsequently be proposed for
the purpose of configuring these two systems.
You can memorise multiple speed settings for
each of the two systems.
By default, some speed settings are already
memorised.
As a safety measure, the driver must only
change speed settings when stationary.
Changing a speed setting
Speed settings can be activated,
deactivated, selected and changed in the
Driving / Vehicle touch screen menu.
"MEM" button



With this button, you can select a memorised
speed setting to use with the speed limiter or the
programmable cruise control.
For more information on the Speed limiter or
Cruise control, refer to the corresponding section.
DS DRIVE ASSIST
Only available on versions with the EAT8
automatic gearbox and gear selector.
This system automatically adjusts the speed and
corrects the trajectory, using the Adaptive Cruise
Control with Stop & Go function in conjunction
with the Lane Positioning Assist.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
This system is especially suitable for driving on
motorways and main roads.
For more information on Adaptive Cruise
Control and Lane Positioning Assist, refer to the
corresponding sections. The system assists the driver by acting on
the steering, acceleration and braking,
within the limits of the laws of physics and the
capabilities of the vehicle. Certain road
infrastructure elements or vehicles present on
the road may not be properly seen or may be
poorly interpreted by the camera and radar,
resulting in an unexpected change in direction,
a lack of steering correction and/or
inappropriate management of acceleration or
braking.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids and to Cruise
control - particular recommendations.

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.

Malfunction
A system malfunction is indicated
by the Service warning lamp coming
on and this (orange) symbol, accompanied by an
alert message and an audible signal.
Active Lane Departure
Warning System
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.
Using a camera located at the top of the
windscreen to identify lane markings on the
road and at the edges of the road (depending on
version), the system corrects the trajectory of the
vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects a risk
of unintentionally crossing a line or hard shoulder
(depending on version).
This system is particularly useful on motorways
and main roads.


Conditions for operation
– Vehicle speed between 40 and 112 mph (65 and
180 km/h).
–

R
oad marked with a central dividing line.
–

St
eering wheel held in both hands.
–

Direction indic
ators not activated.
–

ESC s
ystem activated and operational.
The system helps the driver only if there is
a risk of the vehicle unintentionally
wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It
does not manage the safe driving distance,
vehicle speed or brakes.
The driver must hold the steering wheel with
both hands in a way that allows control to
be maintained in circumstances where the
system is not able to intervene (for example, if
the central dividing line disappears).
Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected or a lane limit (e.g. grass border), it
makes the necessary trajectory correction to
return the vehicle to its initial path.
The driver will notice a turning movement of the
steering wheel.
This warning lamp flashes during
trajectory correction.
The driver can prevent the correction by
keeping a firm grip on the wheel (during
an avoiding manoeuvre, for example).
The correction is interrupted immediately if
the direction indicators are operated.


While the direction indicators are on and for
a few seconds after switching them off, the
system considers that any change of trajectory is
intentional and no correction is triggered during
this period.
However, with the Blind Spot Detection system
activated, if the driver starts changing lanes and
another vehicle is detected in the vehicle's blind
spot, the system will correct the trajectory even
though the direction indicators are on.
For more information on the Blind Spot Detection,
refer to the corresponding section.

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.
Operating limits
The system goes into standby automatically in
the following cases:
–

ESC deactiv
ated or operation triggered,
–

speed belo
w 40 mph (65 km/h) or greater than
112 mph (180 km/h),

brake or accelerator pedal,
–

driving where there are no lane markings,
– activation of the direction indicators,
– cro ssing the inside line on a bend,
–

driving in a tigh
t corner,
–

inactivity b
y the driver detected during
correction.
The following situations may interfere
with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
–

insufficien
t contrast between the road
surface and the shoulders (e.g. shade),
–

lane markings w
orn, hidden (snow, mud) or
multiple (roadworks, etc.),
– running clo se to the vehicle in front (the lane
markings may not be detected),
–

roads tha
t are narrow, winding, etc.
Risk of undesirable operation
We recommend deactivating the system in the
following driving situations:
–
driving on damaged, unst
able or very slippery
(ice) road surfaces,
–

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.
