Electronic immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised to enable
engine start.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a


moment after
the ignition is switched off, and prevents
unauthorised engine starting.
In the event of a
fault, you are
informed by the illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and
a
message in the screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
the dealer network as soon as possible.
Keep safely, away from your vehicle, the
label attached to the keys given to you
when you purchased your vehicle.

Automatic gearbox
Four-speed automatic gearbox which offers
a choice between the comfort of fully automatic
operation, enhanced by sport and snow
programmes, or manual gear changing. Two driving modes are available:
-

a
utomatic
operation with electronic
management of the gears by the gearbox,
with a sport
programme for a more dynamic
driving style and a snow
programme to
make driving easier when grip is poor,
-
man

F Pull the selector towards the – sign to change down a gear.
It is only possible to change from one gear to
another if the vehicle speed and engine speed
permit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
i s not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can
engage position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to keep
the vehicle stationary.
If the selector is not in position P , when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45
seconds after the ignition is switched
off, a warning message appears on the
screen.
F

When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a
ford, proceed at walking pace.
Operating fault
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succession in
the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes for a
few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear
M1


automatically.
The sport and snow programmes are inactive
in manual operation. When the ignition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, associated with
an audible signal and a
message
on the screen, indicates a
gearbox
fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3
rd gear. You may then
feel a

substantial jolt when changing from P to
R and from N to R . This jolt will not cause any
damage to the gearbox. Do not exceed 60
mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Contact a dealer approved by
DS AUTOMOBILES or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-
i
f you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time,
-
i
f you force the selector from position P
to another position when the battery is
flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the engine
running (traffic jam, etc.), put the
selector in position N and apply the
parking brake.
Automatic gearbox (EAT6)
