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.
–

The driv
er's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is opened.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops
below 43 mph (70 km/h), the system goes
into standby.

Compatibility of fuels
Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard
containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol respectively.

Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734
and EN16709 standards and containing up to
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even
occasionally, imposes special maintenance
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".

Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940
standard.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(e.g. pure or diluted vegetable or animal
oils, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited - risk
of damaging the engine and fuel system!
The only fuel additives authorised for use
are those that meet the B715001 (petrol)
or B715000 (Diesel) standards.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could prevent the engine from operating correctly. In these temperature conditions, use
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank
more than 50 % full.
At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular fuel
may be required (specific octane rating, specific
trade name, etc.) to ensure correct operation of
the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 55
litres (Diesel), 62 litres (Petrol) or 43 litres
(Rechargeable hybrid).
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached, this
warning lamp lights up on the instrument
panel, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal. When it first comes on,
about 6 litres of fuel remain.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by the message and the audible
signal. When driving, this message and audible
signal are repeated with increasing frequency as
the fuel level drops towards 0.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
A small arrow by the warning lamp
indicates which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler flap is located on.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refuelling
Any addition of fuel must be in quantities of at
least 10 litres, in order to be registered by the fuel
gauge.
Opening the filler flap may create a noise caused
by an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal,
resulting from the sealing of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
►  Always switch off the engine.

Practical information07
Charging the traction
battery (Rechargeable
hybrid)
For a full charge, follow the charging
procedure without interrupting it, until it stops
automatically. Charging may be performed either
immediately (by default) or deferred.
Deferred charging is set via the touch
screen or the MyDS App application.
When the vehicle is connected, the following
information is displayed on the instrument panel:
–

Traction ba
ttery charge status (%).
–

R

emaining range (miles or km).
–

Estima
ted charging time (calculation may take
a few seconds).
–

C

harging speed (miles or km gained per hour).
After the instrument panel has been put into
standby mode, this information can be displayed
again by unlocking the vehicle or opening a door.
It is also possible to monitor the charging
progress using the MyDS App application.
For more information on Remotely
operable additional functions, refer to the

Low charging / Driving
Driving when the charge level of the
traction battery is too low can lead to the
vehicle breaking down and can lead to
accidents or serious injuries. ALWAYS make
sure the traction battery has a sufficient
charge level.
Low charging / Parking
If the outside temperature is negative,
it is recommended not to park your vehicle
outside for several hours at a low charging
(less than 20%).
Vehicle in storage for more than 1 month
In the event of a long period of non-use
of the vehicle (beyond 4 weeks) without the
possibility of charging when restarting, the
self-discharge may make it impossible to
restart if the traction battery charge level is a
low or very low, especially at negative ambient
temperatures. ALWAYS make sure that the
traction battery has a charge between 20%
and 40% if you do not plan to use your vehicle
for several weeks.
Do not connect the charging cable.
Always park the vehicle in a place with
temperatures between -10°C and 30°C
(parking in a place with extreme temperatures
can damage the traction battery).
Refer to the Accessory battery (Rechargeable
hybrid) section for the battery disconnection
procedure.
Precautions
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles have
been developed in accordance with the
recommendations for maximum electromagnetic
field limits established by the ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection - 1998 Guidelines).
Wearers of pacemakers or equivalent
devices should consult a doctor to enquire
about any applicable precautionary measures, or
contact the manufacturer of their implanted
electronic medical device to check that it is
guaranteed to operate in an environment
compliant with the ICNIRP guidelines.
If in doubt, during charging, do not remain inside
or near the vehicle, near the charging cable or the
charging unit, even for a short time.
Before charging
Depending on the context:
►  Have a professional check that the
electrical system to be used complies with
applicable standards and is compatible with
the vehicle.
►  Have a professional electrician install
a dedicated domestic power socket or
accelerated charging unit (Wallbox)
compatible with the vehicle.

Towing device
Load distribution
►  Distribute the load in the trailer so that
the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance. The maximum towable
load must be reduced by 10% per 1,000 metres of
altitude.
Use genuine towing devices and wiring
harnesses approved by the Manufacturer.
We recommend having them fitted by a dealer
or a qualified workshop.
If not fitted by a dealer, they must still be
fitted in accordance with the Manufacturer's
instructions.
Important: if the vehicle has a motorised
tailgate and Hands-Free Tailgate Access
function, and a towing device has been fitted
outside the dealer network, it is essential to
visit a dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the detection system recalibrated - risk of
malfunction of the Hands-Free Tailgate Access
function.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated while an
approved towing system is in use.
For more information about driving with a
towing device fitted to a trailer and associated
with the Trailer stability assist, refer to the
corresponding section.
Comply with the maximum authorised
towable weight, as indicated on your
vehicle's registration certificate, on the
manufacturer's label and in the Technical data
section of this guide.
