Driving recommendations
► Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
►  Monitor your environment and keep your
hands on the wheel to be able to react to anything
that may happen any time.
►  Drive smoothly, anticipate the need for braking
and maintain a longer safety distance, especially
in bad weather.
►  Stop the vehicle before performing operations
that require sustained attention (e.g. settings).
►  During long trips, take a break every 2 hours.
Important!
Never leave the engine running in a closed
space without sufficient ventilation.
Internal combustion engines emit toxic
exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide.
Danger of poisoning and death!
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperature below -23°C), let the engine
run for 4 minutes before moving off, to ensure
the correct operation and durability of the
mechanical components of your vehicle
(engine and gearbox).
Never drive with the parking brake
applied. Risk of overheating and
damaging the braking system!
Never park the vehicle and never leave the
engine running on a flammable surface
(e.g. dry grass, dead leaves).The vehicle
exhaust system is very hot, even several
minutes after the engine stops. Risk of fire!
Never drive on surfaces covered with
vegetation (e.g. tall grass, accumulated
dead leaves, crops, debris) such as a field, a
country lane overgrown with bushes or a
grassy verge.
This vegetation could come into contact with
the vehicle's exhaust system or other systems
which are very hot. Risk of fire!
Make sure you do not leave any item in the
passenger compartment which could act
like a magnifying glass under the effect of the
sun's rays and cause a fire. Risk of fire or
damage to interior surfaces!
Never leave the vehicle unattended, with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply the
parking brake and put the automatic gearbox
into position N or P.
Never leave children inside the vehicle
unsupervised.
E-TENSE 4X4 360
Repeated hard braking in this vehicle
can generate loud banging noises which are
completely normal.
Continue driving but with lighter braking so
that the braking system can cool down.
The performance of the braking system
remains unaffected.
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage to the
internal combustion engine or electric motor, the
gearbox and the electrical systems of the vehicle.


If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a
flooded section of road:
►  Check that the depth of the water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that might
be generated by other users.
►  Deactivate the Stop & Start function.
►  For rechargeable hybrid engines, place the
mode selector in 4WD position (depending on
version).
►  Drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h).

Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, these
warning lamps light up on the
instrument panel.
A message appears, accompanied by an audible
signal.
In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring
function is no longer performed.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Non-standard or 'space-saver' spare
wheel
The use of this type of spare wheel may
suspend tyre pressure monitoring.
In this case, the malfunction warning lamp
comes on and disappears once the wheel has
been replaced by one of uniform size (the same
as the others), the pressure readjusted and
the reinitialisation carried out.
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 climatic conditions, traffic and
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
monitor traffic conditions, assess the distance
and relative speed of other vehicles, and
anticipate their manoeuvres before using the
direction indicator and changing lanes.
These systems do not make it possible to
exceed the laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel with
both hands, always use the door and interior
mirrors, always leave your feet close to the
pedals and take a break every 2 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(s)
The operation of the radar(s), along with
any associated functions, may be affected by
the accumulation of dirt (e.g. mud, ice), in poor
weather conditions (e.g. heavy rain, snow), or
if the bumpers are 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(s).


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 terrain.

113
Driving06
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors, as well as
any associated functions, may be disrupted by
noise pollution such as that emitted by noisy
vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries, pneumatic
drills), by the accumulation of snow or dead
leaves on the road or in the event of damaged
bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer be
detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30 cm away from
the radar, sensors and cameras.
Mats/Pedal trims
The use of mats or pedal trims not
approved by the Manufacturer may interfere
with the operation of the speed limiter or
cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
–

Ensure tha
t the mat is secured correctly.
–

Ne
ver fit one mat on top of another.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Shortcuts for driving aids
The full list of available driving aids can be found
in the Functions tab. Driving aids can be accessed directly to quickly
activate/deactivate them.
By default, driving aids are already stored in the

Driving06
Cruise control can also be paused
temporarily:
–

b

y pressing the brake pedal.
–

aut
omatically, if the electronic stability
control (ESC) system is triggered.
Changing the cruise speed
setting
The cruise control must be active.
To change the cruise speed setting, based on the
vehicle’s current speed:
►  For steps of +/- 1 mph (1 km/h), briefly
press 2-SET- or 3-SET+ repeatedly.
►  For steps of +/- 5 mph (5 km/h), press and
hold 2-SET- or 3-SET+.
Pressing and holding 2-SET- or 3-SET+
results in a rapid change in the speed of
the vehicle.
As a precaution, we recommend setting a
cruise speed fairly close to the current
speed of your vehicle, to avoid any sudden
acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle.
To change the cruise speed setting using the
speed suggested by the Road signs recognition
function displayed on the instrument panel:
►  Press 5-MEM once; a message is displayed,
confirming the memorisation request.
►  Press 5-MEM again to save the suggested
speed.
The new speed setting value is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Switching off
►  Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "OFF" position:
the cruise control information disappears from
the screen.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, dashes are
displayed flashing and then fixed instead of the
speed setting.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
DS DRIVE ASSIST
This system automatically adjusts the speed
and corrects the trajectory of the vehicle, using
Adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go function in
conjunction with Lane Positioning Assist.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
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 physical limits and capacities of the
vehicle. Certain road infrastructure elements
or vehicles in the surroundings 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.
Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motorways, this system only
works with moving vehicles driving in the same
direction as your vehicle.
Adaptive cruise control
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids and the Specific
recommendations of cruise control.
This system automatically maintains the vehicle
speed at a value set by the driver (speed setting),
while respecting a safety distance from the
vehicle in front (target vehicle) previously set by
the driver. The system automatically manages the
acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle.
With the Stop function, the system manages
braking until the vehicle comes to a complete
stop.
With the Stop & Go function, the system manages
braking until the vehicle comes to a complete stop
and restarts the vehicle.

123
Driving06
Stop function
"Cruise paused" (for a few
seconds).
The system has brought the vehicle to a complete
stop and is keeping it immobilised: cruise control
is paused.
The driver must accelerate to move off again,
then reactivate cruise control.
Stop & Go function
"To pick up again: accelerate or
press the II button".
The system has brought the vehicle to a complete
stop.
Within 3 seconds, the vehicle gradually and
automatically begins moving again.
Beyond 3 seconds, the driver must accelerate or
press 4-II to move off again.
While the vehicle is immobilised, the
following recommendations apply:
–

The driv
er should not leave the vehicle.
–

Do no
t open the boot.
–

Do no
t drop off or pick up passengers.
–

Do no
t engage reverse gear.
When moving off again, watch out for
cyclists, pedestrians and animals, as they
may not be detected properly.
Operating limits
Cruise control operates by day and night, in dry
weather or moderate rainfall.
Certain situations cannot be managed by the
system and require driver intervention.
Cases not taken into account by the system:
–

Pede
strians, cyclists, animals.
–

St
ationary vehicles (e.g. traffic jams,
breakdown).


– Vehicles crossing your lane.
– V ehicles driving in the opposite direction.
Situations where the driver must suspend the
system:


– Vehicles in a tight bend.
– When approaching a roundabout.

– When follo wing a narrow vehicle.
Reactivate the system when conditions allow.
Situations in which the driver is prompted to
immediately resume control:
–

Ex
cessively sharp deceleration by the vehicle in
front of you.


– When a vehicle cuts in sharply between your
vehicle and the one in front.
Some vehicles on the road may be poorly
perceived or interpreted by the camera
and/or the radar (e.g. truck), which can lead to
an incorrect evaluation of distances and result
in inappropriate acceleration or braking of the
vehicle.
Pay particular attention:
– When mo torcycles are present and
when there are vehicles staggered across the
traffic lane.
–

When en
tering a tunnel or crossing a bridge.
