Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the manufacturer’s
ser vice schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.
city driving), replace them twice as often if
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer’s
ser vice schedule for details of
the replacement inter val for this
component.
Particle filter (Diesel)
Depending on the version of the instrument
panel you have, the start of saturation of the
particle filter is indicated by:
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
- fixed illumination of the particle filter warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message that there is a risk of
blockage of the particle filter,
or
-
t
emporary illumination of
the Ser vice warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message that
there is a risk of blockage of the
particle filter. On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
Traffic conditions permitting, regenerate
the filter by driving at a speed of at least
37 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.

Manual parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
This system must be checked in the dealer
network or by a qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked in the dealer network or by
a qualified workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake , refer to the corresponding
section.
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 associates
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.
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.

Important: if your vehicle's AdBlue® tank
i
s completely empty – which is
confirmed by the alert messages and the
impossibility of starting the engine – you
must add at least 4 litres.
F

A

fter emptying the container or bottle, wipe
away any spillage around the tank filler
using a damp cloth. If any AdBlue
® additive is spilt or splashed,
wash immediately with cold water or wipe
with a damp cloth.
If the AdBlue
® has crystallised, clean it off
using a sponge and hot water.
F

R

efit the blue cap to the tank filler and turn it
a 6th of a turn clockwise, to its stop.
F

R

efit the black plastic blanking plug, clipping
it in on the flap.
F

R

efit the boot carpet and close the tailgate.
Important: in the event of a top-up after
a breakdown because of a lack of
AdBlue, you must wait around 5 minutes
before switching on the ignition, without
opening the driver’s door, unlocking
the vehicle, introducing the key into
the ignition switch, or introducing
the key of the "Keyless Entr y and
Star ting" system into the passenger
compartment .
Switch on the ignition, then wait for
10


seconds before starting the engine.
F

O

btain a container or bottle of AdBlue
®.
After first checking the use-by date, read
carefully the instructions on use on the label
before pouring the contents of the container
or bottle into your vehicle's AdBlue
® tank.
Advice on care and maintenance
Recommendations on the care and
maintenance of your vehicle are given in the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
Matt finish
If your vehicle is coated with a clear, matt
varnish, it is essential that you take the
following instructions into account to avoid
damaging the paint, due to an inappropriate
treatment. These instructions are also valid for
the alloy wheels coated in a clear, matt varnish.
Textured paint
The textured paint reacts to light with variations
of appearance and finish that emphasise the
car's lines and form. This paint coating has
particles that remain visible and create a
unique satin relief effect. Its lightly granulated
texture gives it a surprising feel.

12 V battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or charging a discharged battery.
General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must not, in any
circumstances, be discarded with
household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection
point.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be
carried out in a well ventilated area and
away from naked flames and sources of
sparks, so as to avoid the risk of explosion
or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards. If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
do not try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:
F

r
elease the bonnet using the interior lever,
then the exterior lever,
F

r
aise the bonnet and secure it with its stay,
F

l
ift the plastic cover for access to the (+)
terminal.
Starting using another battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump leads
or a battery booster.
Never try to start the engine by connecting
a battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
First check that the slave battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off all the electrical consumers
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are not
close to moving parts of the engine (fan,
belts, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while
the engine is running.

A
t the end of the charging operation, switch
off the charger B before disconnecting the
cables from the battery A . Never try to charge a frozen battery – Risk
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked
in the dealer network or by a qualified
workshop who will check that the internal
components have not been damaged and
that the container has not cracked, which
would mean a risk of toxic and corrosive
acid leaking.
Disconnecting the battery
F switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
F

S
witch off the ignition and wait for four
minutes.
After having accessed the battery, disconnect
the positive (+) terminal only.
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminal
If this label is present, it is essential to
use only a 12 V charger to avoid causing
irreversible damage to the electrical
components related to the Stop & Start
system.
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of ser vice for a long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:

Settings
QUESTIONRESPONSESOLUTION
When changing the setting of treble and bass,
the equalizer setting is deselected.
When changing the equalizer setting, the treble
and bass settings are reset. The selection of an equalizer setting imposes
the settings for treble and bass and vice-versa.
Modify the treble and bass or equalizer settings
to obtain the desired musical ambience.
When changing the balance setting, distribution
is deselected.
When changing the distribution setting, the
balance setting is deselected. The selection of a distribution setting imposes
the balance settings and vice-versa.
Modify the balance setting or the distribution
setting to obtain the desired sound quality.
There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audio sources. To allow for optimal listening quality, the
audio settings can be tailored to different
sound sources, which can generate audible
differences when changing source.Check that the audio settings are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is recommended
that the audio settings (Bass, Treble, Balance)
be adjusted to the middle position, select the
"None" musical ambience and set the loudness
correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or
to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
When the engine is off, the system stops after
several minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the system's
operating time depends on the state of charge
of the battery.
In normal off state, the system automatically
goes into energy economy mode to maintain an
adequate charge in the battery.Start the vehicle’s engine to increase the charge
of the battery.
The date and time cannot be set. Setting of the date and time is only available
if the synchronisation with the satellites is
deactivated.Settings menu/Options/Time-Date setting.
Select the "Time" tab and deactivate the "GPS
synchronisation" (UTC).
