Active Safety Brake with
Collision Risk Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.


This system:
–
w arns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front, a pedestrian or,
depending on version, a cyclist.
–

reduc
es the vehicle's speed to avoid a collision
or limit its severity.
The system also takes motorcyclists and
animals into account; however, animals
below 0.5 m tall and objects on the road are
not necessarily detected.
This system is comprised of three functions:
–

Collision Risk Alert.
–


In

telligent emergency braking assistance.
–

Activ
e Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).


The vehicle has a multifunctional camera located
at the top of the windscreen and, depending on
version, a radar located in the front bumper.
This system does not avoid the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system is designed to assist the driver
and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to continuously
monitor the state of the traffic, observing the
driving regulations.
As soon as the system detects a potential
obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in
case automatic braking is needed. This may
cause a slight noise and a slight sensation of
deceleration.
Deactivation / Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
Deactivation of the system is signalled by
the illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Operating conditions and limits
ESC system in working order.
ASR system activated.
Seat belts fastened for all passengers.
Stabilised speed on unwinding roads.
In the following cases, deactivating the system
via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:
–

T
owing a trailer.
–

Carrying long objects on roo
f bars.
–

V
ehicles with snow chains fitted.
–

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

Engine technical data and
towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.
The maximum power corresponds to the
value type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The weights and towed loads relating to
the vehicle are indicated on the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also indicated on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The GTW (Gross Train Weight) values and the
towable loads listed are valid for a maximum
altitude of 1,000 metres. The towable load must
be reduced by steps of 10% for each additional
1,000 metres.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towball.
When exterior temperatures are high, the
vehicle performance may be limited in
order to protect the engine. When the exterior
temperature is higher than 37°C, reduce the
towed weight.
Towing even with a lightly loaded vehicle
can adversely affect its road holding.
Braking distances are increased when towing
a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed a
speed of 62 mph (100 km/h) (observe the local
