Operation
The system operates subject to the following
conditions:
–

The v
ehicle's speed does not exceed 37 mph (60
km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
–

The v
ehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle or a cyclist
is detected.
–

The v
ehicle's speed is between 6 mph and
53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with
camera only) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle is
detected.
This warning lamp immediately flashes
(for approximately 10 seconds) when the
function acts on the vehicle’s braking.
With an automatic gearbox or drive selector, in
the event of automatic emergency braking until
the vehicle comes to a complete stop, keep the
brake pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle
from moving off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic
emergency braking until the vehicle comes to a
complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the
vehicle at any time by firmly turning the
steering wheel and/or firmly depressing the
accelerator pedal.
The brake pedal may vibrate slightly while
the function is operating.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2
seconds.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the system, you
are alerted by the fixed illumination of this
warning lamp, accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the system checked.
If these warning lamps come on
after the engine has been switched
off and then restarted, contact a dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the system checked.
Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.


Using sensors located in the bumper, this
system signals the proximity of obstacles (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in
their field of detection.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear, as confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out of
reverse gear.
Audible assistance

The system signals the presence of obstacles
within the sensors’ detection zone.


Depending on version, in the example shown, only
the obstacles present in the shaded area will be
signalled by the audible assistance.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of

118
Driving06
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
Adjusting the audible signalWith DS CONNECT RADIO or DS
CONNECT NAV, pressing this
button opens the window for adjusting the
volume of the audible signal.
Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal by displaying
bars on the screen that represent the distance
between the obstacle and the vehicle (white:
more distant, orange: close, red: very close).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
Supplementing the rear parking sensors, the front
parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle
is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle is
still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
Front parking sensor operation is suspended if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in
forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected
or the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) locates the obstacle relative to
the vehicle, in front or behind it.
Deactivation / Activation
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory when
the ignition is switched off.


The rear parking sensors system will be
deactivated automatically if a trailer or
bicycle carrier is connected to a towing device
installed in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations.
In this case, the outline of a trailer is displayed
at the rear of the image of the vehicle.
The parking sensors are deactivated while the
Park Assist and DS PARK PILOT functions are
measuring a space.
For more information on the Park Assist or the DS
PARK PILOT, refer to the corresponding section.
When the vehicle is started, the visual and
audible aids will be available after the
touch screen has started up.
Operating limits
If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may tilt,
affecting distance measurements.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction when shifting
to reverse, this warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel, accompanied by the display
of a message and an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the system checked.
Reversing camera
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.
As soon as reverse gear is engaged with the
engine running, this system displays views of your

122

or B715000 (Diesel) standards.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could prevent the engine from operating correctly. In these temperature conditions, use
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank
more than 50 % full.
At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular fuel
may be required (specific octane rating, specific
trade name, etc.) to ensure correct operation of
the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 44 litres
(petrol) or 41 litres (Diesel).
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached, this
warning lamp comes on on the instrument
panel, accompanied by an onscreen message and
an audible signal. When it first comes on, about 6
litres of fuel remain in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by an onscreen message and an
audible signal. When driving, this message and
audible signal are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards 0.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refuelling
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may create a noise caused
by an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal,
resulting from the sealing of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
► You must switch off the engine.
►With the vehicle unlocked, press the rear-
central part of the filler flap to open it.

130
Practical information07
► Take care to select the pump that delivers the
correct fuel type for the vehicle's engine (see a
reminder label on the inside of the filler flap).
►  Turn the filler cap to the left.
►  Remove the filler cap and hang it on its carrier
(on the filler flap).
►  Introduce the filler nozzle and push it in as
far as possible before starting to refuel (risk of
blowback).
►  Fill the tank.
Do not continue past the third cut-off of the
nozzle, as this may cause malfunctions.
►  Refit the filler cap.
►  Turn it to the right.
►  Push the filler flap to close it.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for the
vehicle, you must have the fuel tank
drained and filled with the correct fuel before
starting the engine.
The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, a
device which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded fuel.
The filler neck is narrower, admitting unleaded
petrol nozzles only.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)
(Depending on country of sale.)
This mechanical device prevents filling the tank of
a Diesel vehicle with petrol.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention
device is visible when the filler cap is removed.
Operation

When a petrol filler nozzle is inserted into the
fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes into
contact with the flap. The system remains closed
and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type filler
nozzle.
It remains possible to use a fuel jerrycan
to fill the tank.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, it is advisable to
check with a dealer if the vehicle is suitable
for the distribution equipment of the countries
visited.
Charging system (Electric)
400 V electrical system
The electrical system, which operates at a voltage
of approximately 400 V, is identified by orange
cables, and its components are marked with this
symbol:


An electric vehicle’s power train can
become hot during use and after
switching off the ignition.
Observe the warning messages shown on
labels, particularly inside the flap.
All work on or modifications to the vehicle’s
