2018 CITROEN DS3 parking sensors

35
For safety reasons, the vehicle must be
stationary before the driver per forms any
operations that require close attention.
Some functions can only be viewed with
the vehicle stationary. Their display is
interrupted once the vehicle starts moving
again.
General operation
Recommendations Principles
Press the "
MENU" button for access to the
different menus, then press the virtual buttons
in the touch screen tablet.
Each menu is displayed in one or two pages
(primary page and secondary page).
And, depending on equipment, it allows:
-
t
he display of visual parking sensors
information,
-

a

ccess to the internet ser vices and
navigation system controls and the display
of associated information.
It is necessary to press firmly, particularly for
"flick" gestures (scrolling through lists, moving
the map, etc.).
A light wipe is not enough.
The screen does not recognise pressing with
more than one finger.
This technology allows use at all temperatures
and when wearing gloves.
Do not use pointed objects on the touch screen
tablet.
Do not touch the touch screen tablet with wet
hands.
Use a

soft clean cloth to clean the touch screen
tablet. Use the "
Options" button to go to the
secondary page.
After a
few moments with no action on
the secondary page, the primary page is
displayed automatically.
Use this button to access additional
information and the settings for
certain functions.
Use this button to confirm.
Use this button to return to the
primary page or exit.

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.

Driving

If the temperature is below -23°C, the
engine should be left at idle for four
minutes, to ensure the correct operation
and life of the engine and gearbox.
When the engine is running at idle, with
the brakes released, if position R, D or M
is selected, the vehicle moves even
without the accelerator being pressed.
Do not leave children unsuper vised inside
the vehicle when the engine is running.
When carrying out maintenance with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
and select position P .
Automatic operation
F Select position D to change the six gears
automatically . The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any inter vention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the selector, press the accelerator fully down
(kick-down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or holds the gear selected until
the maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not shift to a
higher gear for safety
reasons.
Never select position N while the vehicle
is moving.
Never select position P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Reverse
When selecting reverse R with the ignition
on, the rear parking sensors are activated
automatically.
Creep function (moving without
using the accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic
jams, etc.).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released
and position D , M or R selected, the vehicle
moves as soon as you take your foot off
the brake pedal (even without pressing the
accelerator).
For your safety, this function will be activated
only if you press the brake pedal when
changing from forward drive to reverse.
It is deactivated on opening the driver's door.
Closing the door then pressing the brake or
accelerator pedal, reactivates the function.
Manual operation
F Select position M for sequential changing
of the six gears.
F

If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle. For more information on Parking assistance
,
refer to the corresponding section.

Parking assistance
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
entering the detection range of the sensors
located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (post, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer
be detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if
they are located in blind spots in the sensors'
detection range.
This system cannot in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
Audible assistanceVisual assistance
(Depending on version.)
Front parking sensors
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous. This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the screen which move
progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed in the screen.
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle remains below 6
mph (10 km/h).
The system is switched off when you shift out
of reverse gear.

144
Deactivation/activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
You can activate or deactivate the function via
the vehicle configuration or settings menu.
The system's status is saved when the ignition
is switched off.The function will be deactivated
automatically if a
trailer is being towed or
a
bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with
a
towbar or an approved bicycle carrier).
Malfunction
In the event of a system fault when
enga ging reverse gear, this warning
lamp is displayed in the instrument
panel and/or a


message appears
in the screen, accompanied by an
audible signal (short beep).
Contact the dealer network or
a
qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal (long beep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking sensor
system.
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6

mph (10

km/h).
The sound from the loudspeaker (front
or rear) helps to indicate whether the
obstacle is in front or behind.
Reversing camera
The reversing camera is only an aid and
the driver must remain cautious at all times.
The distance between the blue lines
corresponds to the width of your vehicle without
the mirrors. A reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The colour visual feedback is provided on the
touch screen.
