For your convenience, the settings are
stored between two starts of the vehicle.
When the engine is cold, the air flow will
only reach its optimum level gradually
to prevent too much cold air being
distributed.
Temperature adjustment
The value shown on the display is a level of
c omfort, not a temperature in degrees Celsius
or Fahrenheit.
Press the 5
and 6 buttons to
change this value. A setting of
around 21


provides optimum
comfort. Nonetheless, depending
on your needs, a setting between
18
and 24 is typical.
This system is designed to operate effectively
in all seasons, with the windows closed.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior is
very cold or very warm, there is no need
to change the value displayed in order to
obtain the comfort required. The system
compensates automatically and corrects
the temperature difference as quickly as
possible.
Automatic visibility programme
For more information on Front demist -
defrost , refer to the corresponding section.
Manual control
It is possible to manually adjust one or more
functions, while keeping the other functions in
automatic mode.
The AUTO symbol goes off.
To return to automatic mode, press the AUTO
button.
Switching to manual mode may result in
some discomfort (temperature, humidity,
odour, misting) and is not optimal for
comfort.
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the minimum value 14
or the
maximum value 28.

Deactivating the system
Press the "empty fan" air flow
button 7 until the fan symbol
disappears.
This action stops all functions of the air
conditioning system.
Temperature is no longer regulated. A slight air
flow can still be felt however, resulting from the
for ward movement of the vehicle.
Pressing the " filled fan" air flow button 7
or
AUTO again reactivates the system with the
values in effect prior to deactivation.
Avoid driving for too long with the system
switched off (risk of misting and air quality
deterioration).
Recirculation of interior air
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
Interior air recirculation isolates the passenger
compartment from exterior odours and fumes.
This function also allows the desired
temperature in the passenger compartment to
be reached in the shortest time.

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver should only
carry out any operations that require close
attention when the vehicle is stationary.
On a
long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In bad weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the
need to brake and increase the distance from
other vehicles.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. There is a
risk of poisoning and
death!
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C), to guarantee
correct operation and the longevity of
the mechanical elements of your vehicle,
engine and gearbox, the engine must be
left running for 4
minutes before driving.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake
applied – Risk of overheating and damage
to the braking system!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes after
switching off the engine, never park or run
the engine on inflammable sur faces (dry
grass, dead leaves, etc.) – Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral or position N or P , depending on
the type of gearbox.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
-
d
eactivate the Stop & Start function,
-
d
rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
In all cases, do not exceed a speed of
6 mph (10 km/h),
-
d
o not stop and do not turn off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, and as soon as it
is safe to do so, brake lightly several times to
dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact the dealer network or a qualified
workshop.

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.

Starting-switching off the
engine
Anti-theft protection
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.
Ignition switch
Ignition on position
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric
equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Once the state of charge of the battery drops
to the reser ve level, the system switches to
energy economy mode: the power supply is
cut off automatically to preser ve the remaining
battery charge.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key
or the remote control, which would weigh
down on its blade in the ignition switch
and could cause a


malfunction.
