of scratching the projection blade or damaging
the non-reflective coating.
Warning and indicator
lamps
Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator
lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating
status of a system (operation or deactivation
indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two
ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied
by an audible signal and/or a message displayed
in a screen.
Relating the type of alert to the operating status
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether
the situation is normal or whether a fault has
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp for
further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on for
a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.

Service indicator
The servicing information is expressed in terms of
distance (kilometres or miles) and time (months
or days).
The alert is given at whichever of these two terms
is reached first.
The servicing information is displayed in the
instrument panel. Depending on the version of the
vehicle:
–

The dist
ance recorder display line indicates
the distance remaining before the next service
is due, or the distance travelled since it was due
preceded by the "-" sign.
–

An alert me
ssage indicates the distance
remaining, as well as the period before the next
service is due or how long it is overdue.
The value indicated is calculated
according to the distance covered and the
time elapsed since the last service.
The alert may also be triggered close to a due
date.

aut
omatically, if the electronic stability
control (ESC) system is triggered.
Modifying the cruise speed
setting
Cruise control must be active.
To modify the cruise speed setting, based on the
current speed of the vehicle:
►  Briefly press button 2 or 3 to change the value
in steps of + or - 1 mph (km/h).
►  Press and hold button 2 or 3 to change the
value in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h).
Pressing and holding button 2 or 3 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
memorised speed settings and from the touch
screen: ► 
Press button 5 to display the memorised speed
settings.
►  Press the touch screen button for the desired
speed setting.
The selection screen closes after a few moments.
This setting becomes the new cruise speed.
To modify the cruise speed setting using the
speed suggested by the Speed Limit Recognition
and Recommendation shown on the instrument
panel:
►  Press button 5 once; a message is displayed to
confirm the memorisation request.
►  Press button 5 again to save the suggested
speed.
The speed is immediately shown on the
instrument panel as the new speed setting.
Switching off
►  Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "OFF" position:
the cruise control information disappears from
the screen.
Malfunction

The display of dashes (flashing then fixed)
indicates a malfunction with the cruise control
system.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Memorising speeds
This function, used only for the speed limiter and
programmable cruise control, lets you save speed
settings that will subsequently be proposed for
the purpose of configuring these two systems.
You can memorise multiple speed settings for
each of the two systems.
By default, some speed settings are already
memorised.
As a safety measure, the driver must only
change speed settings when stationary.
Changing a speed setting
Speed settings can be activated,
deactivated, selected and changed in the
Driving / Vehicle touch screen menu.
"MEM" button



With this button, you can select a memorised
speed setting to use with the speed limiter or the
programmable cruise control.
For more information on the Speed limiter or
Cruise control, refer to the corresponding section.
DS DRIVE ASSIST
Only available on versions with the EAT8
automatic gearbox and gear selector.
This system automatically adjusts the speed and
corrects the trajectory, using the Adaptive Cruise
Control with Stop & Go function in conjunction
with the Lane Positioning Assist.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
This system is especially suitable for driving on
motorways and main roads.
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 limits of the laws of physics and the
capabilities of the vehicle. Certain road
infrastructure elements or vehicles present on
the road 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.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids and to Cruise
control - particular recommendations.

Adaptive Cruise Control
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids and to Cruise
control - particular recommendations.
This system automatically maintains the speed
of your vehicle at a value which you set (speed
setting), while keeping a safe distance from the
vehicle in front (target vehicle), and which has
been set beforehand by the driver. The system
automatically manages the acceleration and
deceleration of the vehicle.
With the Stop & Go function, the system manages
the braking until the vehicle comes to a complete
stop and the restarting of the vehicle.


To do so, it has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen and a radar located in the front
bumper.
Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motorways, this system only
works with moving vehicles driving in the same
direction as your vehicle.
If the driver operates a direction indicator
to overtake a slower vehicle, the cruise
control allows the vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, without ever exceeding
the speed setting.
Some vehicles present on the road may
not be properly seen or may be poorly
interpreted by the camera and/or radar (e.g. a
lorry), which may lead to a poor assessment of
the distances and lead to the vehicle
inappropriately accelerating or braking.
