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.

Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a
leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact the dealer
network or a
qualified workshop. Only use products recommended by
DS
AUTOMOBILES or products of
equivalent quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in
the braking system, DS AUTOMOBILES
selects and offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6
standard,
without adversely affecting the performance
or fuel consumption of diesel engines,
DS
AUTOMOBILES has taken the decision to
equip its vehicles with a
system that combines
SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) with
a
diesel particle filter (DPF) for the treatment of
exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the oxides of nitrogen (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
During each scheduled ser vice of your vehicle
in the dealer network or a

qualified workshop,
the AdBlue
® tank is refilled in order to allow
normal operation of the SCR system.
If the estimated distance travelled between
two ser vices is greater than 12,500
miles
(20,000

km), it will be necessary to top up the
AdBlue
®.
The AdBlue
® is contained in a special tank
w
ith a
capacity of around 17 litres: its capacity
offers a

driving range of around 12,500 miles
(20,000

km) before triggering an alert system
that warns you when you can drive for a
further
1,500

miles (2,400 km).
