Mirrors
Door mirrors
Adjustment



►  Turn control A to the right or to the left to
select the corresponding mirror.
►  Move the control in any of the four directions
to adjust.
►  Return the control to the central position.
For optimum safety, adjust the mirrors to
reduce the "blind spot".
The objects observed are, in reality, closer than
they appear. Take this into account in order
to correctly judge the distance of vehicles
approaching from behind.
Folding
Automatic: lock the vehicle using the electronic
key.
Manual: with the ignition on, move control
A downwards.
If the mirrors are folded using control A,
they will not unfold when the vehicle is
unlocked.
Unfolding
Automatic: unlock the vehicle using the electronic
key.
Manual: with the ignition on, move control A
upwards.
The mirrors can be folded manually if necessary.
Automatic folding/unfolding of the door
mirrors is configured in the Settings >
Vehicle touch screen application.
Before using an automatic car wash, fold the
mirrors.
Automatic tilting in reverse gear
Depending on version, this function allows you to
automatically tilt the mirrors downwards to assist
with parking manoeuvres in reverse gear.
With the engine running, on engaging reverse
gear, the mirror glasses tilt downwards.
They each return to their original positions:
–

A fe
w seconds after coming out of reverse gear.
–

O
nce the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph
(10 km/h).
–

When the engine is s
witched off.
It can be activated/deactivated in the
Settings > Vehicle touch screen
application.
Demisting/Defrosting
The demisting/defrosting of the door
mirrors works with the demisting/
defrosting of the rear screen.
For more information on Rear screen demisting/
defrosting, refer to the corresponding section.
Electrochrome interior rear
view mirror


The electrochrome system uses a sensor that
detects the level of exterior brightness and that
coming from the rear of the vehicle, in order to
automatically and gradually switch between day
and night usage.
To ensure optimum visibility while
manoeuvring, the mirror automatically
brightens when reverse gear is engaged.
The system is deactivated if the load in the
boot exceeds the height of the load space
cover or if the load space cover has items
placed on it.

Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
An LED, located below the interior
rear view mirror and visible from outside
the vehicle, lights up blue to indicate that
the vehicle is being driven in Electric mode
(depending on country of sale).
Rear seats
Rear head restraints

They have two positions:
– A high position, for when the seat is in use:
►  Pull the head restraint fully up.
–
A low position, for stowing, when the seat is
not in use: ►  Press the lug A to release the head restraint
and push it down.
The rear head restraints can be removed.
Removing a head restraint
►  Pull the head restraint fully up.
►  Press the lug A to release the head restraint
and remove it completely.
Refitting a head restraint
►  Insert the head restraint rods into the guides
in the corresponding backrest.
►  Push the head restraint fully down.
►  Press the lug A to release the head restraint
and push it down.
Never drive with passengers seated at the

removed; the head restraints should be in
place and in the high position.
The head restraint for the centre seat
and those for the outer seats are not
interchangeable.
Backrest angle

►  To straighten or recline the backrest 3, press
control 4 or pull it into the desired position.
When adjusting the backrest with the
boot loaded, check that no object might
hinder the movement of the backrest - risk of
damaging the backrest!

Each section of the backrest has two release
controls:
–

A grip
1 on the outer edge of the backrest.
–

A le
ver 2 on the boot side trim.
The backrests should only be manoeuvred
when the vehicle is stationary.

Manual adjustment of LED
technology headlamps




To avoid dazzling other road users, the height
of these headlamp beams must be adjusted
according to the load in the vehicle.

4 5 6 Not used
Automatic DS PIXEL LED VISION
3.0 headlamp adjustment
This system automatically adjusts the height of
the headlamp beams according to the load in the
vehicle.
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and an
audible signal.
The system places the headlamp beams in the
lowest position.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Do not touch the DS PIXEL LED VISION 3.0
headlamps - risk of electrocution!
Automatic illumination of
lamps
With the lighting control stalk in the “AUTO”
position and if a low level of exterior brightness
is detected by the rain/sunshine sensor, the
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without any action on
the part of the driver. They may also come on if
rain is detected, at the same time as automatic
operation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient
level or after the windscreen wipers are switched
off, the lamps are switched off automatically.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction of the rain/
sunshine sensor, the vehicle’s lamps come
on and this warning lamp is displayed on the
instrument panel, accompanied by an audible
signal and/or the display of a message.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor
located at the top centre of the
windscreen behind the interior rear view
mirror; the associated functions would no
longer be controlled.
In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor
may detect sufficient light. For this
reason, the lighting will not come on
automatically.
The inner surface of the windscreen may
become misted up and affect the proper
operation of the rain/sunshine sensor.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.

Lighting and visibility04
Followed vehicle

When approaching a vehicle from behind, only
those lamp segments directed at the followed
vehicle go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" so as
not to dazzle its driver.
Oncoming vehicle

When an oncoming vehicle approaches, only
those lamp segments directed at this vehicle
go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" during the
duration of the approach.
Entering an illuminated area
At the entrance to an illuminated area (e.g. a
town), the lamp segments are gradually switched
off from the outside to the inside of the vehicle to
switch to the dipped beams.
Exiting an illuminated area
The lamp segments gradually light up from the
inside to the outside of the vehicle to restore the
main beams.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
► Switch the dipped/main beam headlamps
manually to pause the function.
The lighting system changes to "Automatic
illumination of lamps" mode.
►  To reactivate the function, manually switch
the dipped/main beam headlamps again.
Malfunction
If a malfunction occurs with the adaptive
headlamp lighting or the camera, this
warning lamp is displayed on the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor
located at the top centre of the
windscreen behind the interior rear view
mirror; the associated functions would no
longer be controlled.
DS NIGHT VISION

This system identifies and signals the presence
of pedestrians and animals in the driver's field
of vision, in low exterior light conditions, using
an infrared camera located at the front of the
vehicle.
Select the "Night vision" display mode if you
want the infrared camera image to be displayed
constantly on the instrument panel. When the
conditions are met, an alert is triggered if there is
a risk of collision.
The permanent display disappears upon
switching off the ignition or if the conditions are
not met.
This system is a driving aid system that
cannot, under any circumstances, replace
the driver's assessment of night-time visibility
and traffic conditions.
In some cases, the differences in temperature
are insufficient and the system may not detect
