Driving06
The system uses a computer and sensors, which
determine the optimal level of shock absorption
to be applied to each shock absorber.
The system is also associated with a camera,
located at the top of the windscreen, constantly
monitoring the road condition. Based on the
information transmitted by the camera, the
system anticipates possible road defects.
The operation of the system depends on the
driving mode selected (depending on equipment).
For more information on the Driving modes,
please refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Driving modes
The driving modes available depend on the engine
and equipment of the vehicle.
Driving modes are selected using the following
control:
► Press the control to display the modes on the
instrument panel.
► Press the control again to change mode.
The selected mode is activated immediately.
With petrol / Diesel engines
Whenever the ignition is switched on, Normal
driving mode is selected by default.
Eco
To reduce fuel consumption by optimising the
operation of the heating and air conditioning and,
depending on version, accelerator, automatic
gearbox, gear shift indicator.
Free-wheeling in Eco mode: depending on version,
with the EAT8 gearbox, switching into "free-
wheeling" is encouraged to slow the vehicle down
without using engine braking. You can save fuel
by taking your foot gradually and fully off the
accelerator pedal in anticipation of slowing down.
Comfort
To achieve more comfortable driving on poor
road surfaces, over speed humps and sleeping
policemen or on long journeys. In this mode, DS
ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION utilises additional
information coming from the multifunction
camera (early detection of road type and road
surface condition).
Normal
To restore the default settings.
Sport
To obtain more dynamic driving with action on the
power steering, DS ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION,
accelerator and gear changes (with an automatic
gearbox), acoustic ambience of the engine and
the possibility of displaying the vehicle’s dynamic
settings on the instrument panel.

With Rechargeable hybrid
engines
Whenever the ignition is switched on, Electric
driving mode is selected by default.
Electric
Allows driving using 100% electrical energy.
The maximum speed is approximately 84 mph
(135 km/h).
When starting the vehicle, if the conditions do
not allow the activation or retention of Electric
mode, the message "Electric mode currently
unavailable" is displayed on the instrument panel.
The vehicle automatically changes to Hybrid
mode.
If an LED comes on under the interior rear view
mirror, visible from outside the vehicle, this
confirms that you are driving in Electric mode
(depending on country of sale).
The LED can be deactivated by inserting
the tip of a paper clip or other similar
object into the hole located underneath the
interior rear view mirror.
Conditions of activation
–
Adequa
te battery charge level. Charging
the vehicle after each drive is therefore
recommended. Electric mode is available as long
as there is power left in the battery.
–
O
utside temperature between approximately
-5°C and 45°C.
Manually exiting the mode
► Fully depress the accelerator pedal, or
► Select another mode.
In case of non-use of the vehicle for a long
period (several months), a restart of the
petrol engine may occur even if the battery is
charged.
Depending on equipment, Electric mode is
combined with Normal mode of the DS
ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION function.
For more information on DS ACTIVE SCAN
SUSPENSION, refer to the corresponding
section.
In the event of multiple starts of the
internal combustion engine without a
sufficient rise in
temperature, Electric mode may be temporarily
unavailable (natural phenomenon of dilution of
fuel in oil). The message "Electric mode
unavailable: automatic operation in progress"
then appears on the instrument panel.
To regain normal electrical operation, drive
approximately 50 miles (80 km) in "motorway"
conditions or approximately 125 miles (200
km) in urban conditions.
This phenomenon does not cause any
mechanical or electrical damage. It can occur
several times in the life of the vehicle.
Hybrid
To optimise the vehicle's fuel consumption
by managing the alternating or simultaneous
operation of the two types of engine, depending
on driving conditions and driving style.
In Hybrid mode, it is possible to drive in 100%
electric mode if the battery charge level is
sufficient and acceleration requirements are
moderate.
Depending on equipment, Hybrid mode is
combined with Normal mode of the DS
ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION function.
For more information on DS ACTIVE SCAN
SUSPENSION, refer to the corresponding
section.
Sport
To obtain more dynamic driving in order to benefit
from the maximum performance of the vehicle.
Electric power is used to supplement the petrol
engine as long as there is energy left in the
battery.
Depending on equipment, Sport mode is
combined with Sport mode of the DS
ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION function.
For more information on DS ACTIVE SCAN
SUSPENSION, refer to the corresponding
section.

The tyre under-inflation detection cannot,
in any circumstances, 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), especially 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 energy 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 monthly 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.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
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.
The loss of pressure detected may not
always cause visible deformation of the
tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
► Using a compressor, such as the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of all four tyres when cold.
► If it is not possible to carry out this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.
► In the event of a puncture, use the temporary
puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (depending
on equipment).
Driving too slowly may not ensure
optimum monitoring.
The alert is not immediately triggered in the
event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre blow-
out. This is because analysis of the values read
by the wheel's speed sensors can take several
minutes.
The alert may be delayed at speeds below 25
mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty
driving mode.
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
► The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,
and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written on
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
With the vehicle stationary, the system
can be reinitialised in the Settings>Vehicle
touch screen application.
► Then select Safety > Tire Pressure Setup.
► Press YES to confirm.
The reinitialisation is confirmed by the display of
a message and an audible signal.

Practical information07
Never store AdBlue® containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is non-
flammable, colourless and odourless (when kept
in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In the
event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse
the eyes with large amounts of water or with an
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot
be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia
vapours have an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Store AdBlue® out of the reach of children,
in its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that
the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature
of the vehicle is above -11°C. Otherwise the
AdBlue
® may be frozen and so cannot be poured
into the tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried
out.
Never pour the AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
If any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are
any spillages on the bodywork, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with a
damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a
sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-up after an
AdBlue breakdown, you must wait about
5 minutes before switching on the ignition,
without opening the driver's door, unlocking
the vehicle or bringing the electronic key into
the passenger compartment.
Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10
seconds before starting the engine.
► Press the "START/STOP" button to switch off
the engine.
► Turn the blue cap of the AdBlue® tank anti-
clockwise and remove it.
► With a container of AdBlue®: after checking
the expiry date, read the instructions on the
label carefully before pouring the contents of the
container into the vehicle's AdBlue
® tank.
► With an AdBlue® pump: insert the nozzle and
fill the tank until the nozzle automatically cuts
out.
In order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:
–
Add betw
een 10 and 13 litres using
AdBlue
® containers.
–
St
op after the nozzle’s first automatic cut-
out, if you are refilling at a service station.
The system only registers AdBlue
®
intermediate top-ups of 5 litres or more.
If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty
– which is confirmed by the message “Top
up AdBlue: Starting impossible” – it is essential
to add at least 10 litres.
Top-up detection may not be instantaneous
after addition. It may take a few minutes of
driving before the top-up detection is effective.
Free-wheeling
In certain situations, it is necessary to put the
vehicle into free-wheeling mode (e.g. towing, on
a rolling road, automatic car wash (Wash mode),
rail or sea transport).
The procedure varies according to the type of
gearbox and parking brake.
