E-TENSE 4X4 360
The electrical energy is used to
supplement the petrol engine or recharge the
traction battery, depending on the type of
driving.
This mode is optimised with specific settings
which make the most of the dynamic
performance of this vehicle (power steering,
accelerator pedal sensitivity, ESC).
Comfort
(Depending on equipment)
Combines Hybrid mode and Comfort mode of the
DS ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION function.
To favour flexible shock absorption improving
driving comfort on poor surfaces.
For more information on DS ACTIVE SCAN
SUSPENSION, refer to the corresponding
section.
4WD (4-wheel drive)
(Depending on version)
Improves the vehicle's grip at low and moderate
speeds by driving all 4 wheels continuously.
4WD mode (4-wheel drive) is especially suited
to driving on snow-covered roads and difficult
terrain (e.g. mud, sand) as well as ford crossings,
at moderate speed.
Depending on the driving conditions and the
battery charge level, 4WD mode may be 100%
electric.
If the system does not detect a situation of wheel
slipping or poor grip after 300 metres of driving, it
switches to Hybrid mode.
This mode will be even more effective if
the vehicle is fitted with suitable tyres,
such as winter tyres.
The grip can be improved up to 84 mph (135 km/h)
using the electric motors; above this speed, the
vehicle is driven by the front wheels only.
Hill start assist
This system keeps the 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.
The system is only active when:
–

The v
ehicle is completely stationary, with your
foot on the brake pedal.
–

Cert
ain slope conditions are met.
–

The driv
er’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. Then check that the parking brake
indicator lamp and the P indicator lamp in the
electric parking brake control are on fixed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated. However, using the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its
operation.
Operation

Facing uphill, with the vehicle stationary, the
vehicle is held for a short time when the driver
releases the brake pedal:
–

If mode
D or M is selected on an automatic
gearbox.


Facing downhill, with the vehicle stationary and
reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held for a
short time when the driver releases the brake
pedal.
Malfunction
If the event of a malfunction, these
warning lamps light up on the

109
Driving06
instrument panel, accompanied by the display of
a message.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine)
This system is designed to reduce fuel
consumption by recommending the most suitable
gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the
vehicle's equipment, the system may recommend
skipping one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are not to be
considered mandatory. Indeed, the configuration
of the road, the traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains responsible
for deciding whether or not to follow the system’s
advice.
The system cannot be deactivated.
The system is only active in mode M of the
automatic gearbox.
The information appears on the instrument
panel, in the form of an arrow and the
recommended gear.
The system adapts the gear change
instructions according to the driving
conditions (e.g. slope, load) and driving style
(e.g. power demand, acceleration, braking).
The system never suggests:
–

engaging first gear
.
–

engaging re
verse gear.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stationary (e.g. red
lights, traffic jams). The engine automatically
restarts - START mode - as soon as the driver
indicates the intention of moving off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
The function does not affect the functionalities of
the vehicle, in particular the braking.
Deactivation/Reactivation
By default, the function is activated when the
ignition is switched on.
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.

12 V battery
The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work must be carried out only by a dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
This system alerts the driver if one or more tyres
suffer a drop in pressure.
The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving, not
when stationary.
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.
It takes into account the last values stored
during the reinitialisation request. It is therefore
essential that the tyre pressure is correct during
the operation. This operation is the driver’s
responsibility.

128
Driving06
– Driving on a rolling road.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, the
Service warning lamp comes on and
this (orange) symbol appears on the instrument
panel, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Active Safety Brake with
Collision Risk Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids.


This system:
– w arns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the preceding vehicle, a pedestrian
or a cyclist.
–

reduc
es the vehicle's speed to avoid a collision
or to limit its severity.
The speed will be reduced by a maximum
of 16 mph (25 km/h) (versions with camera
only) or by a maximum of 31 mph (50 km/h)
(versions with camera and radar).
The system also takes motorcyclists into
account.
It may also react on animals. Animals
(especially animals smaller than 0.5 m)
and objects on the road are not necessarily
detected.
This system includes three functions:
–

Collision Risk Alert.
–


In

telligent emergency braking assistance
(iEBA).
–

Activ
e Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).


The vehicle has a multifunction camera located
at the top of the windscreen and, depending on
version, a radar located in the front bumper.
This system does not replace the need for
driver vigilance.
This system is designed to assist the driver
and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to continuously
monitor traffic conditions in accordance with
applicable driving regulations.
As soon as the system detects a potential
collision, it prepares the braking circuit.
This may cause a slight noise and a slight
sensation of deceleration.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
Deactivation of the system is signalled by
the illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Operating conditions and limits
Vehicle moving forward without trailer.
Brake system operational.
Seat belts fastened for all passengers.
Stabilised speed on roads with no or low
curvature.
This warning lamp lights up on the
instrument panel without any additional
message, to indicate that the automatic braking
system is not available.

129
Driving06
This is a normal behavior indicating that a
condition is not fulfilled and which does not
request the support of a workshop.
In any situations with ignition on where automatic
braking presents a risk, deactivating the system
via the driving aids touch screen application is
recommended, for instance:
–

T
owing a trailer (particularly a trailer without
its own braking system).
–

Carrying long objects on roo
f bars.
–

D
riving with snow chains.
–

U
sing an automatic car wash.
–

Performing an
y maintenance (e.g. changing a
wheel, working inside the engine compartment).
–

Placing the v
ehicle on a rolling bench in a
workshop.
–

T
owing the vehicle.
–

Follo
wing an impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
The system is automatically deactivated
once the use of a different diameter
"space-saver" type spare wheel is detected, or
if a fault with the two lateral brake lamps is
detected.
The system diagnoses permanently its
capability and may inhibit itself without
specific driver indication, if the system is
outside of the regular operating conditions
(e.g. sensor initialization, board voltage out of
regular range, activation of stability system).
Therefore, the system may not be available
just after starting the vehicle.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
The driver must not overload the vehicle
(keep within the GVW limit and load
height limits for roof bars).
Following an impact (e.g.  a collision), the
system is automatically deactivated.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver if there is a risk
of collision with the preceding vehicle, or with a
pedestrian or cyclist.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
The trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
►  Select one of the 3 preset
thresholds: "Far ", "Medium" or "Near".
The selected threshold is memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the collision risk detected by the
system and the alert trigger threshold chosen
by the driver, different levels of alert may be
triggered and displayed on the instrument panel.
The system takes into account the vehicle
dynamics, the difference speed of the own vehicle
and the object identified for the collision risk, and
the operation of the vehicle (e.g. actions on the
pedals, steering wheel) to trigger the alert at the
most relevant moment.
(orange)
Level 1: visual alert only, warning that the
preceding vehicle is very close.
The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.
(red)
Level 2: visual and audible alert, warning
that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake!" is displayed.
Level 3: a micro-braking may be given, confirming
the risk of collision (optional).
While approaching a vehicle too quickly,
the level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important: the level 1 alert depends on the
trigger threshold selected. It reacts only on
moving vehicles. It is disabled automatically at
lower speed.

131
Driving06
Malfunction
This warning lamp lights up on the
instrument panel with the message
"Sensor blind" in certain cases.
Version with camera only: the system is
deactivated.
Version with camera and radar: the system may
continue to operate in a degraded mode.
This may be caused by a reduced visibility
(e.g. rain, fog, snow, blinding by low sun) or by a
real sensor blockage. In this case, stop the vehicle
and verify if the front camera or the front radar is
covered by dirt, snow, ice or anything preventing
the sensing.
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and an
audible signal.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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.
These warning lamps light up on
the instrument panel and/or in the
warning lamp display for seat belts and front
passenger airbag to indicate that the driver's and/
or front passenger's seat belt is not fastened
(depending on version). The automatic braking
system is deactivated until the seat belts are
fastened.
Distraction detection
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids.
The function comprises the "Driver Attention
Warning" and "Driver Attention Warning by
Camera" systems, combined, depending on
version, with the "DS DRIVER ATTENTION
MONITORING" system.
These systems are in no way designed to
keep the driver awake or to prevent the
driver from falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling
tired.
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.
Activation/Deactivation
By default, the function is automatically activated
at every engine start.
The settings are changed via the ADAS
touch screen application.
Driver Attention Warning
The system triggers an alert when it
detects that the driver has not taken a
break after two hours of driving at a speed above
43 mph (70 km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a message
encouraging the driver to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert
is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
–

With the engine running, the v
ehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes.
–

The ignition has been s
witched off for a few
minutes.
–
