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

R
eturn the selector to position P ; the
message disappears.
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)
Six speed automatic gearbox which offers
a choice between the comfort of fully automatic
operation or manual gear changing.
Two driving modes are available:
-

a
utomatic operation for electronic
management of the gears by the gearbox,
-

man
ual operation for sequential changing
of the gears by the driver.

Gear efficiency indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by
advising the driver when to change up.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
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.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3

restrictions permitting.
Contact the dealer network or a
qualified
workshop as soon as possible.

With an electronic or automatic gearbox,
the system is only active in manual mode.
On BlueHDi Diesel versions with manual
gearbox, in certain driving conditions the
system may suggest changing into neutral so
that the engine can go into standby (STOP
mode of Stop & Start). In this case, N is
displayed in the instrument panel.
Example:
-

Y
ou are in third gear.
-

Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-

T
he system may suggest that you engage
a


higher gear. The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load, etc.)
and the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking, etc.).
The system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear.
-
enga

ging a

lower gear.
On vehicle fitted with a
manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.
Gear shift recommendations should not be
considered obligatory. The configuration of the
road, the amount of traffic and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the best
gear. The driver thus remains responsible
for deciding whether to follow or ignore the
system's instructions.
This function cannot be deactivated.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
Hill start assist
This system briefly keeps your vehicle
stationary (for approximately 2 seconds) when
making a
hill start, while you transfer your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
It is only active when:
-

t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-

c
ertain slope conditions are met,
-

t
he driver's door is closed.
The hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily in the hill start assist
phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp lights up constantly on
the instrument panel.

Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system,
t hese warning lamps come on.
Contact the dealer network or
a
qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The
engine restarts automatically – START mode –
as soon as you want to move off.
The restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
Going into engine STOP
mode
The " ECO" warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
-

w

ith a

manual gearbox , at speeds below
12

mph (20 km/h) (depending on version),
when you place the gear lever in neutral and
you release the clutch pedal.
-

w

ith a
5-speed or 6-speed electronic
gearbox , vehicle stationary or at speeds
below 5
mph (8 km/h) (depending on
version), when you press the brake pedal or
place the gear selector into position N .
-

w

ith an automatic gearbox , vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or put the gear selector in position N .
A time counter adds up the time
periods spent in STOP mode
during a
journey. It resets every
time the ignition is switched on
using the key.
Uphill, with the vehicle stationar y, the
vehicle is held for a shor t time when you
release the brake pedal.
With a

manual gearbox, if you are in first gear
or in neutral.
With an automatic gearbox, if you are in D or M .
With an electronic gearbox, if you are in
automatic mode (position A ) or in manual mode
(position M ). Downhill, with the vehicle stationary and
reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a

shor t time when you release the brake
pedal.
