Limit the causes of excess
consumption
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-
a
t each change of season,
-
a
fter a long period out of use. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a
BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. As soon as possible, visit a member
of the dealer network or a qualified workshop
to make your vehicle's level of nitrogen oxides
emissions compliant to the standard.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a
consistent average.
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.

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.

Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that are
stationary or moving in the same direction as
your vehicle. It does not detect small vehicles (bicycles,
motorcycles), pedestrians or animals, nor
non-reflective stationary objects.
This system will not trigger or inter vene if the
driver:
-
a
ccelerates strongly
-
o
r suddenly turns the steering wheel
(avoidance manoeuvre). When weather conditions are difficult
(extremely heavy rain, snow, fog, hail,
etc.), braking distances increase, which
may reduce the system's ability to avoid
a
collision.
The driver must therefore remain
particularly cautious.
Never let snow build up on the bonnet
or any object above the bonnet nor at
the front of the roof: this could enter the
field of vision of the sensor and obstruct
detection.
Operating faults
Sensor fault
The operation of the laser sensor may suffer
inter ference from accumulations of dirt or
misting of the windscreen. In this case you are
warned by the display of a
message.
Use windscreen demisting and regularly clean
the area of the windscreen in front of the
sensor.
Do not stick or other wise attach any object
on the windscreen in front of the sensor.
System fault
In the event of a malfunction of the system, you
a re warned by an audible signal and the display
of the message " Automatic braking system
fault ".
Have the system checked by your dealer or by
a
qualified workshop. In the event of an impact to the
windscreen near the sensor, deactivate
the system and contact your dealer
or a
qualified workshop to have your
windscreen replaced.
Do not attempt to remove, adjust or test
the sensor.
Only your dealer or a
qualified workshop
may work on the system.
When towing a
trailer or when the vehicle
is being towed, the system must be
deactivated.

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.

To w b a r
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.
We recommend the use of genuine
manufacturer towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fitting of the towbar is entrusted to the
dealer network or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted in the dealer
network, it must still be fitted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions. Driving with a
trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
For more information on Driving advice ,
particularly when towing, refer to the
corresponding section.
Observe the maximum authorised towable
weight, indicated on your vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label as well as in the Technical data
section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum
authorised nose weight (ball joint) also
includes the use of accessories (bicycle
carriers, towbar cargo carriers, etc.).
The maximum authorised nose weight
does not depend on the type of device
installed, fixed or removable, with or
without a
tool.
Obser ve the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
PERFORMANCE towbar
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a towbar. The
s ize of the sport diffuser does not allow it.
Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as air conditioning,
heated rear screen, etc.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.

Characteristics of engines
and towed loads
Engines
The engine specifications (capacity, max.
power, max. speed, energy, CO
2 emissions,
e
tc.) for your vehicle are given in the
registration document and in the sales
literature.
These characteristics correspond to the values
type-approved on a
test bed, under conditions
defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact the dealer
network or a
qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The maximum weights and towed loads for
your vehicle are given in the registration
document and in the sales literature.
These values are also given on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact the dealer
network or a qualified workshop. The GTW and towed load values indicated are
valid up to a
maximum altitude of 1,000 metres.
The towed load value must be reduced by 10%
for each additional 1,000 metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towbar (removable with or without a tool).
GT W: Gross train weight.
High exterior temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of
the vehicle to protect the engine. If the
exterior temperature is above 37°C, limit
the towed load.
Towing with a
towing vehicle which is only
slightly laden may negatively affect its
handling.
Towing a
trailer increases the braking
distance.
When towing, never exceed the speed
of 62
mph (100 km/h) (obser ve the local
legislation in force). 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.
