Drive selector (Electric)
The drive selector is a pulse selector with a
regenerative braking function.
The drive selector provides traction control based
on the driving style, the road profile and the
vehicle load.
With regenerative braking activated, it also
manages engine braking when the accelerator
pedal is released.
P. Park

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.

► 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.
