F To deactivate the system, press this button again; the warning lamp goes off.
The status of the system remains in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towbar approved by
DS AUTOMOBILES.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault, the warning lamp in the
button flashes then goes off.
Contact the dealer network or a qualified
workshop. The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
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 with 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
the correct operation of the system.
Parking sensors
This system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
entering the detection range of the sensors
located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (post, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer
be detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if
they are located in blind spots in the sensors'
detection range.

Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Audible assistanceVisual assistanceThis supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the screen which move
progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed in the screen.
Front parking sensors
In addition to 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).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in
front or behind.
Deactivation/activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this
button. The button indicator lamp comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The button indicator lamp goes off.
The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed or a
bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a
towbar or an approved bicycle carrier).
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.

Malfunction
In the event of a system fault when
engaging reverse gear, this warning
lamp is displayed in the instrument
panel and/or a message appears
in the screen, accompanied by an
audible signal (short beep).
Contact the dealer network or a
qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal (long beep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking sensor
system.
Reversing camera
This system is a driving aid that does not
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver, who must remain in control of
the vehicle at all times. The green lines represent distances of about
1
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your
vehicle's rear bumper.
The red line represent a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The lines displayed in the screen do not
allow the position of the vehicle to be
determined relative to tall obstacles (for
example: vehicles nearby).
Some deformation of the image is normal.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, keep the
end of the high pressure lance at least
12 inches (30 cm) away from the camera
lens.
Clean the camera lens regularly using a
soft cloth.
The reversing camera function may be
supplemented with parking sensors.
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The colour visual feedback is done on the
touch screen. The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle.
The blue cur ved lines represent the maximum
turning circle.

Tyre under-inflation
d
etection
The tyre under-inflation detection system
is an aid to driving which does not replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver. This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres worsens
road-holding, lengthens braking distances,
causes premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
loads, high speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
Tyre pressure should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1 hour or after a journey of less than
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
For more information on Identification
markings , including the tyre pressure
label, refer to the corresponding section.
Under-inflation alert
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres. This warning is indicated by
continuous illumination of the lamp,
an audible signal and, depending on
the equipment installed, a message
displayed on the screen.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, according
to equipment, to identify it.
F

educe speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and sudden braking.

top as soon as it is safe to do so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.

Driving

163
F If you have 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 carry out this check
straight away, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F

I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired or
replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the Ser vice warning
lamp indicates a fault with the
system.
In this case, the pressure in the tyres is no
longer monitored. This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(for example, a space-saver or steel spare
wheel).
Go to a member of the dealer network
or a qualified workshop
to have the
system checked or, following the repair
of a puncture, to have the original wheel,
equipped with a sensor, refitted.
Any tyre repair or replacement on a wheel
fitted with this system must be carried
out by the dealer network or a qualified
workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not
detected by your vehicle (fitting snow tyres
for example), you must have the system
reinitialised in the dealer network or by a
qualified workshop.

Fuel
Tank capacity: approximately 60 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached
in the tank, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible warning
and the display of an alert message.
When it first comes on, about
6 litres of fuel is left in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, every time
the ignition is switched on, this warning lamp
appears, accompanied by an audible signal
and an alert message. When driving, this
audible signal and alert message are repeated
with increasing frequency, as the level drops
towards 0 .
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer to the
corresponding section.
Refuelling
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge. With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key, or the START/
STOP button if your vehicle has Keyless
Entry and Starting.
Opening the filler cap may create a noise
caused by an inrush of air. This vacuum is
entirely normal, resulting from the sealing of the
fuel system.

cause your vehicle to malfunction.
Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The filler neck is narrower, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be introduced.

Practical information

167
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have the fuel
tank drained and filled with the correct
fuel before star ting the engine.
Fuel cut-off
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that
cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.
Misfuel prevention
(Diesel)
(Depending on the country of sale.)
Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids
the risk of engine damage that can result from
filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the filler cap
is removed.
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into
your Diesel tank, it comes into contact with the
flap. The system remains closed and prevents
filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.It remains possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in
direct contact with the flap of the misfuel
prevention device and pour slowly. Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so before travelling
abroad, we recommend that you check
with the dealer network whether your
vehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in the
country in which you intend to travel.

Compatibility of fuels
Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with biofuels
that conform to current and future European
standards and which can be obtained from
filling stations:Petrol that meets standard EN228,
mixed with a biofuel that meets
standard EN15376.
The only petrol additives authorised for
use are those that meet the B715001
standard.
Fuel used for Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with
biofuels that conform to current and future
European standards and which can be
obtained from filling stations. Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN590 mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing 0 to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester), For more information, contact the dealer
network or a qualified workshop.Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing 0 to 10% Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester),
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets
standard EN15940 mixed with
a biofuel that meets standard
EN14214 (possibly containing 0 to
7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting
standard EN16709 is possible in
your Diesel engine. However, this
use, even occasional, requires strict
application of the special ser vicing
conditions referred to as "Arduous
conditions".
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk
of damage to the engine and fuel system). The only Diesel additives authorised for
use are those that meet the B715000
standard.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could entail an abnormal operation
of the fuel supply circuit. To avoid this, we
recommend using winter-type Diesel fuel and
keeping the fuel tank more than 50% full.
If, despite this, at temperatures below -15°C
(+5°F) the engine has problems starting,
just leave the vehicle in a garage or heated
workshop for a little while.
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage the engine of your
vehicle.
In certain countries, the use of a particular
fuel may be required (specific octane rating,
specific sales name…) to ensure correct
operation of the engine.
For any additional information, contact the
dealer network.
