Ease of use and comfort03
Driving position
Correct seating position
Adopting a good driving position contributes to
improving driver comfort and protection.
It also optimises interior and exterior visibility as
well as access to controls.
Certain seat adjustments described in this
section depend on the trim level and the country
in which the vehicle is sold.
Driver’s side

Sit fully back in the seat with your pelvis, back
and shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.
Adjust the seat cushion height so that your eyes
are level with the centre of the windscreen.
The head should be at a minimum distance of
10 cm from the roof.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so that
you can fully depress the pedals with legs slightly
flexed.
The distance between the knees and the
dashboard should be at least 10 cm, for easy
access to the dashboard controls.
Adjust the backrest angle to as vertical a position
as possible; never tilt it more than 25°.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge is
level with the top of the head.
Adjust the length of the seat cushion to support
your thighs.
Adjust the lumbar support so that it conforms to
the shape of the spine.
Adjust the steering wheel reach so that it is at
least 25 cm from the sternum and you can hold it
with your arms slightly bent.
Adjust the steering wheel height so that it does
not obstruct the information displayed on the
instrument panel.
As a safety precaution, adjust the seats
only when the vehicle is stationary.
Electrically-adjustable seats
Switch the ignition on to enable the
adjustments to be made.
Passenger’s side

Sit fully back in the seat with the pelvis, back and
shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.

switched off.
Do not use the function when the seat is
not occupied.
Reduce the heating intensity as soon as
possible.
When the seat and passenger compartment
have reached a satisfactory temperature,
switch the function off; reducing electrical
consumption in turn decreases energy
consumption.
Prolonged use of heated seats is not
recommended for people with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (e.g. illness,
taking medication).

USB charger, may adversely affect the
operation of vehicle electrical systems,
causing faults such as poor radio reception or
interference with displays in the screens.
2-position boot floor
(Depending on version)
This 2-position floor allows the boot volume to be
optimised using the lateral stops located on the
sides:
–

High po
sition (100 kg max.): to obtain a flat
floor up to the front seats, when the rear seats
are folded down.
–

Lo
w position (150 kg max.): maximum boot
volume.
On certain versions, the adjustable boot
floor cannot be fitted in the low position.
To change the height:
►  Lift and pull the floor towards you using its
central handle, then use the lateral stops to move
it.
►  Push the floor all the way forwards to place it
in the desired position.


To keep it in the inclined position:
►  From the high position, lift the floor towards
the load space cover.
►  Take it past the retractable stops, then rest
the floor on these stops.
Storage well

►  Lift the boot floor as far as possible or lift the
hinged boot carpet (depending on version) to
access the storage well.
Depending on version, it includes: –

A t
emporary puncture repair kit with the tool
kit.

Lighting and visibility04
"High beam" mode

At any time, this lighting mode can be triggered
by the Automatic headlamp dipping function
independent of the Adaptive Frontlight System
function.
This mode automatically adapts to the speed and
angle of the steering wheel.
The power and range of the lighting is maximised
to best illuminate the length and width of the
roadway.
Dynamic cornering lighting function

Available only with the "City" mode and "Road"
mode.
The headlamps follow the trajectory of the vehicle
in bends to provide better lighting of the road.
This is done by shifting the intensities of the light
area in the bends, to better anticipate obstacles
and changes in road direction.
This function operates from a certain angle of
rotation of the steering wheel and a certain yaw
speed.
DS PIXEL LED VISION 3.0
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations for automatic lighting
systems.
The DS PIXEL LED VISION 3.0 system has the
Adaptive Frontlight System function and also
manages the high beam in conjunction with the
Automatic headlamp dipping function.
The DS PIXEL LED VISION 3.0 headlamps
incorporate three LED modules:
–

a "Pix
el" module that varies the number of
LEDs lit and their intensity according to driving
conditions. This module manages the light flows
vertically and horizontally.
–

tw

o "Low beam" modules whose intensity only
varies with the fog mode.
All these LED modules contribute to the lighting in
the low beam and high beam positions.
This system automatically adapts the main
beam according to the driving conditions, so that
optimum illumination is maintained for the driver,
without causing a nuisance to other road users.
The driver remains responsible for the
vehicle's lighting, its correct use in the
prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions,
and for compliance with driving and vehicle
regulations.
Activation/Deactivation
►  Place the ring of the lighting control stalk in
the “AUTO” position.
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
It is configured in the Settings > Vehicle
touch screen application.
The state of the system is stored when the
ignition is switched off.
When deactivated, the lighting system changes to
"Automatic illumination of lamps" mode.
Operation
Using a camera, the system detects the driving
conditions (brightness, lights from oncoming or
followed vehicles, road turns) and adapts the
beams of the main headlamps accordingly.
The modules that make up the main beams
switch on and off gradually, segment by segment,
depending on the driving conditions detected.
Nominal main beam lighting is restored as soon
as the vehicle is no longer detected by the system.
If the system is selected but the display on
the instrument panel and the alerts are not
available, the indicator lamp comes on in grey.

Safety05
Horn

►  Press the central part of the steering wheel.
Pedestrian horn
(Rechargeable hybrid)
This system alerts pedestrians that the vehicle is
approaching, when driving in Electric mode (100%
electric driving).
The pedestrian horn operates once the vehicle is
moving and at speeds of up to 19 mph (30 km/h),
in forward or reverse gear.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel.
