Ease of use and comfort03
Automatic "electrochrome" model

This system automatically and progressively
transitions between day and night modes, using a
sensor that measures the light entering from the
rear of the vehicle.
To ensure optimum visibility during your
manoeuvres, the mirror lightens
automatically when reverse gear is engaged.
Rear bench seat
Bench seat with fixed cushions and split folding
backrests (2/3-1/3) to adapt the boot load space.
Rear head restraints

They have two positions: – A
high position, for when the seat is in use:
►  Pull the head restraint fully up.
– A
low position, for stowing, when the seat is
not in use: ►  Press the lug A to release the head restraint
and push it down.
The rear head restraints can be removed.
Removing a head restraint

►  Release the backrest using control 1.
►  Tilt the backrest slightly forwards.
►  Pull the head restraint fully up.
►  Press the lug A to release the head restraint
and remove it completely.
Refitting a head restraint
►  Insert the head restraint rods into the guides
in the corresponding seat backrest.
►  Push the head restraint down as far as it will
go.
►  Press the lug A to release the head restraint
and push it down.
Never drive with passengers seated at the
rear when the head restraints are
removed; the head restraints should be in
place and in the high position.
The head restraint for the centre seat
and those for the outer seats are not
interchangeable.
Folding the backrests
Manoeuvring the seat backrests should
only be done when the vehicle is
stationary.
First steps:
►  Lower the head restraints.
►  If necessary, move the front seats forward.
►  Check that no person or object will interfere
with folding down the backrests (clothing,
luggage, etc.).
►  Check that the seat belts are free, not
engaged in the buckles. Release them so that the
backrest can be moved.


►  Press the backrest release grip 1.
►  Guide backrest 2 down to the horizontal
position.
When the backrest is released, the red
indicator is visible in the release grip.
Repositioning the backrests
First check that the outer seat belts are
lying vertically flat alongside the backrest
latching rings.

44Ease of use and comfort03
air outlets and the air extractor in the boot free
from obstructions.
► Do not cover the sunshine sensor located
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
►  Operate the air conditioning system for at
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in perfect working order.
►  If the system does not produce cold air,
switch it off and contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures, switching off
the air conditioning increases the available
engine power, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the
ventilation off or with prolonged operation
of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and
deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long
time in the sunshine, air the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
Condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly
normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►  Ensure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
We recommend using a composite passenger
compartment filter. Thanks to its special
active additive, this type of filter helps to
purify the air breathed by the occupants
and keep the passenger compartment clean
(by reducing allergic symptoms, unpleasant
odours and greasy deposits).
►  To ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems
only operate when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
For more information on the Stop & Start, refer
to the corresponding section.
Manual air conditioning
Press the Climate button to display the
system controls page.

Air conditioning on / off
The air conditioning system is designed to
operate effectively in all seasons, with the
windows closed.
It is used to:
– lower the temperature in summer,
– increase the effectiveness of the demisting in
winter, above 3°C.
►  Press button 4 to activate/deactivate the air
conditioning system.
Air conditioning does not operate when
the air flow is disabled.
To obtain cool air more quickly, enable interior
air recirculation for a brief period. Then return
to the intake of exterior air.
Switching off the air conditioning may result in
some discomfort (humidity or misting).

55Lighting and visibility04
If the driver's door is opened, a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the lamps
are on.
They will go off automatically after a period
of time that depends on the state of charge of
the battery (entering energy economy mode).
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence of
misting on the internal surface of the glass of
the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it
disappears after the lamps have been on for a
few minutes.
Never look too closely at the luminous
beam of “Full LED” headlamps: risk of
serious eye injury.
Travelling abroad
Vehicles equipped with halogen
headlamps:
If planning to use your vehicle in a country
that drives on the other side of the road, the
headlamp dipped beams must be adjusted to
avoid dazzling oncoming drivers. Contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Daytime running lamps/
sidelamps
The front and rear lamps light up automatically
when the engine starts.
They provide the following functions:
– Da ytime running lamps (lighting control stalk at
position "AUTO" with adequate light level).
–

Sidelamp
s (lighting control stalk "AUTO"
position with low light levels or "Sidelamps only”
or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").
The LEDs are brighter when operating as
daytime running lamps.
Direction indicators

►  Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control
stalk, beyond the point of resistance.
If you forget to cancel the direction
indicators for more than 20 seconds, the
volume of the audible signal will increase if the
speed is above 50 mph (80 km/h).
Three flashes
►  Press briefly upwards or downwards, without
going beyond the point of resistance; the direction
indicators will flash 3 times.
Parking lamps
Vehicle side marking by lighting the sidelamps on
the traffic side only.
►  Depending on version, within one minute
of switching off the ignition, move the lighting
control stalk up or down, depending which side
the traffic is on (for example, when parking on the
left, moving the lighting control stalk upwards
turns on the right-hand sidelamps).
This is confirmed by an audible signal and the
lighting of the corresponding direction indicator
lamp on the instrument panel.
►  To switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to the central position.
Automatic illumination of
headlamps
When the ring is at the “AUTO" position and
a low level of ambient light is detected by the
rain/sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps,
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without any action on
the part of the driver. They may also come on if
rain is detected, at the same time as automatic
operation of the windscreen wipers.

56Lighting and visibility04
As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient
level or after the windscreen wipers are switched
off, the lamps are switched off automatically.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction of the rain/
sunshine sensor, the vehicle’s lighting
comes on and this warning lamp is displayed in
the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible
signal and/or the display of a message.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor
located at the top centre of the
windscreen behind the interior rear view
mirror; the associated functions would no
longer be controlled.
In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor
may detect sufficient light. In this case,
the lighting will not come on automatically.

headlamps and door mirror spotlamps.
– Inside, courtesy lamps and footwell lighting.
Activation / deactivation and adjustment
of the duration of the welcome lighting are
set via the Driving / Vehicle touch screen menu.
Door mirror spotlamps
These spotlamps facilitate access to the vehicle
by lighting the ground near the front doors.
The spotlamps come on automatically:
– when the vehicle is unlocked.
– when a door is opened.

59
Lighting and visibility04
When an oncoming vehicle approaches, only
those lamp segments directed at this vehicle
go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" during the
duration of the approach.
Nominal main beam lighting is restored as soon
as the vehicle is no longer detected by the system.
Entering an illuminated area
At the entrance to an illuminated area (for
example, a town), the lamp segments are
gradually switched off from the outside to the
inside of the vehicle to switch to the dipped
beams.
Exiting an illuminated area
The lamp segments gradually light up from the
inside to the outside of the vehicle to restore the
main beams.
Activation/Deactivation
►  Turn the lighting control stalk ring to the
"AUTO" position.
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
The function can be activated and
deactivated in the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
When deactivated, the lighting system changes to
"automatic illumination of lamps" mode.
The status of the system remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
►  Flashing the headlamps pauses the
function and the system changes to "automatic
illumination of headlamps" mode:
To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps
again.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs with the adaptive
headlamp lighting or the camera, this
warning lamp is displayed in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, linked
to the rain sensor and located at the top
centre of the windscreen behind the interior
rear view mirror; the associated functions
would no longer be controlled.
The system may suffer interference or not
work correctly:
–

under c
onditions of poor visibility (snow,
heavy rain, etc.),
–

if the windscreen in fron
t of the camera is
dirty, misted or obscured (for example, by a
sticker, etc.),
–

if the v
ehicle is facing highly reflective signs
or safety barrier reflectors.
It is recommended to deactivate the function
in foggy or snowy conditions or in case of
heavy mist.
The function temporarily deactivates when
the system detects thick fog or when you
switch on the foglamps. This is signalled by
the extinction of the indicator lamp in the
instrument panel.
The system is not able to detect:
–

road users tha
t do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians,
–

v
ehicles whose lighting is obscured (for
example: vehicles running behind a safety
barrier on a motorway),
–

v
ehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the
camera.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
obstruct the detection camera.
Travelling abroad
Vehicles equipped with the DS MATRIX
LED VISION function:
If using your vehicle in a country that drives
on the other side of the road to the country of
sale, deactivate this function to avoid dazzling
oncoming drivers.
