Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a
leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact the dealer
network or a
qualified workshop. Only use products recommended by
DS
AUTOMOBILES or products of
equivalent quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in
the braking system, DS AUTOMOBILES
selects and offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6
standard,
without adversely affecting the performance
or fuel consumption of diesel engines,
DS
AUTOMOBILES has taken the decision to
equip its vehicles with a
system that combines
SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) with
a
diesel particle filter (DPF) for the treatment of
exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the oxides of nitrogen (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
During each scheduled ser vice of your vehicle
in the dealer network or a

qualified workshop,
the AdBlue
® tank is refilled in order to allow
normal operation of the SCR system.
If the estimated distance travelled between
two ser vices is greater than 12,500
miles
(20,000

km), it will be necessary to top up the
AdBlue
®.
The AdBlue
® is contained in a special tank
w
ith a
capacity of around 17 litres: its capacity
offers a

driving range of around 12,500 miles
(20,000

km) before triggering an alert system
that warns you when you can drive for a
further
1,500

miles (2,400 km).

Removing a wheel
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or collapse – Risk of injury!
Ensure that the jack is positioned only at
one of the jacking points A or B under the
vehicle, making sure that the vehicle's
contact sur face is centred on the head of
the jack. Otherwise, the vehicle could be
damaged and/or the jack could collapse –
Risk of injury!

the automatic gearbox Parking the vehicle
Park the vehicle where it does not block
traffic: the ground must be level, stable
and non-slippery.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the
ignition and engage first gear* so as to
block the wheels.
If necessary, place a
chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be
changed.
Make absolutely certain that all the
occupants have left the vehicle and are
waiting in a safe area.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel , first remove
the wheel trim using wheelbrace 1
by
pulling at the valve aperture.
When refitting the wheel , after tightening
the wheel bolts, refit the wheel trim,
starting by placing its aperture in line with
