Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the
s unshine sensor, the lighting comes
on, this warning lamp is displayed
in the instrument panel and/or
a
message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Contact the dealer network or a
qualified
workshop.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, linked
with the rain sensor and located in the
centre of the windscreen behind the
interior mirror, as this would disable the
associated functions.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may
detect sufficient light. In this case, the
lighting will not come on automatically.
Automatic guide-me-home
lighting
When the automatic illumination of headlamps
is activated, if the ambient light level is low,
the dipped beam headlamps remain lit when
switching off the ignition.
Programming
Activation, deactivation and the
duration of the guide-me-home
lighting are set in the vehicle
configuration or parameters menu
(except monochrome screen A
where the duration is fixed: 60
s).
LED daytime running
lamps
This daytime lighting, which is a signature of
t he vehicle, consists of two sets of six LEDs
located on the vertical scoop under each
headlamp.
When starting the vehicle, the daytime running
lamps come on automatically, if the lighting
control stalk is in the 0
or AUTO position.
If the sidelamps and headlamps are switched
on manually or automatically, the daytime
running lamps go off.
Headlamp beam height
adjustment
To avoid causing a nuisance to other road
u sers, the height of the headlamp beams
should be adjusted according to the load in the
vehicle.
0. Driver only or driver + front passenger.
-. Intermediate setting.
1. 5


people.
-. 5
people + load in the boot.
2. Driver only + maximum authorised load
in the boot. This position is enough not to
dazzle. The higher positions may limit the
area illuminated by the headlamps.
The initial setting is position 0.

In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
d emands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000
metres of altitude.
Please respect the maximum towable
weights.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
t emperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a
check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at least
approximately 600


miles (1,000

kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on Headlamp
beam height adjustment , refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid
the audible signal if a
genuine
DS
AUTOMOBILES towbar is used.
If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine be allowed
to idle for 1
to 2 minutes after the vehicle
comes to a
stop, to facilitate its cooling.

Wait until this warning lamp goes off
in the instrument panel then operate
the starter motor by turning the key
to position 3 without pressing the
accelerator pedal until the engine
starts. Once the engine is running,
release the key.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp can
stay on for a
longer period. If the engine is
hot, the warning lamp does not come on.
If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition. Wait a
few moments
before operating the starter motor again.
If the engine does not start after several
attempts, do not keep trying: you risk
damaging the starter motor or the engine.
Contact the dealer network or a
qualified
workshop.
In temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed. Never run the engine in an enclosed
space without sufficient ventilation:
internal combustion engines give out toxic
exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide.
There is a danger of poisoning and
death. In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C) and to ensure
proper operation and longevity of the
mechanical parts of your vehicle, engine
and gearbox, you must let the engine run
for 4
minutes before starting the vehicle.
Switching off the engine
F Stop the vehicle.
F T urn the key towards you to position
1


(Stop) .
F

R
emove the key from the ignition switch.
F

T
o lock the steering column, turn the
steering wheel until it locks.
To facilitate unlocking of the steering
column, it is recommended that the
wheels be returned to the straight ahead
position before switching off the engine.
F

C
heck that the parking brake is correctly
applied, particularly on sloping ground. Never switch off the ignition before the
vehicle is at a
complete stop. With the
engine off, the braking and steering
assistance systems are also deactivated:
risk of loss of control of the vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle, keep the key
with you and lock the vehicle.
Energy economy mode
After switching off the engine
(position 1 - Stop), for a
maximum of thirty
minutes you can still use functions such as the
audio and telematic system, wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc.
For more information on the Energy
economy mode , refer to the
corresponding section.

Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still
use functions such as the audio equipment,
windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps,
courtesy lamps, etc. for a
maximum combined
period of thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if the
battery is not fully charged.
Switching to this mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message
appears in the screen indicating that the
vehicle has switched to economy mode and the
active functions are put on standby.
Exiting the mode
These functions are reactivated automatically
next time the vehicle is driven.
F

T
o restore these functions immediately, start
the engine and let it run briefly. If the telephone is being used at the same
time, it will be interrupted after 10
minutes.The engine will not start if the battery is
discharged.
The time available to you will then be double
the period for which the engine is left running.
However, this period will always be between
five and thirty minutes.
