the point of resistance if necessary.
The push selector returns to its initial position
when released.
For example, to change from P to  R, either push
forwards twice without passing the point of
resistance or push just once, passing the point of
resistance:
–

In the first c
ase, the selector goes from P to  N,
then from N to  R.
–

In the sec
ond case, the selector goes directly
from P to  R.
Regenerative braking
The regenerative braking function emulates
engine braking, slowing the vehicle with no
need to depress the brake pedal. The vehicle
slows more quickly when the driver releases the
accelerator pedal.
When the accelerator pedal is released,
mechanical energy is recovered and used to
partially recharge the battery.
► While in mode D/B , pushing the pulse selector
backwards activates/deactivates the function.
The D on the instrument panel is replaced with
a B.
The state of the function is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
If the battery is almost fully charged, the
braking effect when the accelerator pedal
is released may be limited.
Driving modes
The number and type of driving modes available
depend on the vehicle’s engine and equipment.
Driving modes are selected using the following
control:




With an electric motor, you cannot select a mode
if the READY lamp is off.
The selected mode is activated immediately.
Whenever the ignition is switched on, NORMAL
mode is selected by default.
ECO
Reduces fuel consumption by optimising the
operation of the heating and air conditioning and,
depending on version, the accelerator pedal, the
automatic gearbox and the gear shift indicator.
Free-wheeling in ECO mode: depending on
version, with the EAT8 gearbox, moving into "free-
wheeling" is encouraged to slow the vehicle down
without using engine braking. You can save fuel
by anticipating the need to slow down and lifting
your foot fully off the accelerator pedal.
NORMAL
Restores the vehicle’s original settings.
SPORT
Enables more dynamic driving, acting on the
power steering, accelerator and gear changes
with an automatic gearbox and the possibility of
displaying the vehicle’s dynamic settings on the
instrument panel.
MANUAL
Permanent "Manual" mode with an automatic
gearbox and DS PARK PILOT.
Enables manual gear changing using the steering-
mounted paddles.
Hill start assist
This system keeps your vehicle briefly stationary
(for approximately 2 seconds) when making a hill
start, while you transfer your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This system is only active when:
– The vehicle is completely stationary, with your
foot on the brake pedal.
– Certain slope conditions are met.
– The driver’s door is closed.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If someone needs to get out of the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the parking brake
manually. After that, ensure that the parking
brake indicator lamp and the indicator lamp P
in the electric parking brake control lever are
on fixed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated. However, use of the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its
operation.

Malfunctions
When the function is not activated, the
temporary flashing of this indicator lamp
and an audible signal indicate a system
malfunction.
If the malfunction occurs while the system is in
use, the indicator lamp goes off.
If the parking sensor malfunction occurs
during use, indicated by this warning lamp
coming on, it causes the function to deactivate.
In the event of a malfunction, have the system

by a warning message.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.
DS PARK PILOT
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.
This system provides active parking assistance
for vehicles fitted with the EAT8 automatic
gearbox or a gear selector: it detects a free
"parallel" or "bay" parking space and then
operates the vehicle, parking it with no need for
driver intervention. It also allows you to drive out
of a "parallel parking" space automatically.
The system controls the steering, direction,
acceleration and braking. The system measures
the available parking spaces and calculates the distances to obstacles using 12 ultrasonic
sensors built into the front and rear bumpers of
the vehicle.
To help the driver monitor the successful
completion of the manoeuvre, the system
automatically displays the Reversing camera and
activates the parking sensors.


To initiate parking assistance when approaching
a parking area:
► 
Reduce the speed of the vehicle to a maximum
of 19 mph (30 km/h).


►  Press the button on the gear selector or, on
the touch screen, select Driving / Vehicle > DS
PARK PILOT.
Activating the system deactivates Blind
Spot Detection.
Sequence
Once the system is activated, the following steps
will be performed successively:
–

Select the type o
f manoeuvre via the touch
screen.
–

Search for an a
vailable space.
–

Prepare for the manoeuvre
.
–

Perform the manoeuvre
.
–

Finalise the manoeuvre
.
It is possible to deactivate the system at
any time until the start of the manoeuvre,
by pressing the red arrow in the upper left
corner of the screen.
DS PARK PILOT is not always able to react
automatically and appropriately due to
the performance limits inherent to the system.
The manoeuvre remains the responsibility
of the driver, who must not leave the driving
position and must never try to lock the system
control button.
The driver's seat belt must remain fastened
during the manoeuvre.
Choice of the type of
manoeuvre and search for
space
Depending on whether the vehicle has been
driven or not since the ignition was switched on,
the function proposes the entry to or exit from a
parking space on the touch screen.
►  Select the type and side of the manoeuvre to
activate the parking space search.
Illumination of this lamp confirms
activation.
It is possible to change the type of manoeuvre
at any time, including during the available space
search phase.
►  Drive at a distance of 0.50 to 1.50 m from the
row of parked vehicles, not exceeding 19 mph
(30 km/h), until the system finds an available
space (indicated by OK on the display and an
audible signal).
For "parallel" parking, the space must at
least equal to the length of your vehicle
plus 1 m.
For "bay" parking, the space must at least
equal to the width of your vehicle plus 0.70 m.
Preparing for the manoeuvre
►  Move very slowly until the request to stop
the vehicle and the "STOP" sign are displayed,
accompanied by an audible signal.
