General safety
recommendations
Do not remove the labels attached in
different places on your vehicle. They
include safety warnings as well as
identification information for the vehicle.
For any work on your vehicle, use a
qualified workshop that has the technical
information, skills and equipment required, all
of which a dealer is able to provide.
Depending on country regulations, some
safety equipment may be compulsory:
high visibility safety vests, warning triangles,
breathalysers, spare bulbs, spare fuses, fire
extinguisher, first aid kit, mud flaps at the rear
of the vehicle, etc.
Installing electrical accessories:
– The fitting o f electrical equipment or
accessories not approved by the Manufacturer
may cause excessive current consumption
and faults and failures with the electrical
system of your vehicle. Contact a dealer
for information on the range of approved
accessories.
–

As a sa
fety measure, access to the
diagnostic socket, used for the vehicle's
electronic systems, is reserved strictly for
authorised dealers or qualified workshops,
equipped with the special tools required (risk
of malfunctions of the vehicle's electronic
systems that could cause breakdowns or
serious accidents). The Manufacturer cannot
be held responsible if this advice is not
followed.
–

An
y modification or adaptation not
intended or authorised by the Manufacturer
or carried out without meeting the technical
requirements defined by the Manufacturer
will result in the suspension of the commercial
warranty.
Installation of accessory radio
communication transmitters
Before installing a radio communication
transmitter with an external aerial, you
must without fail contact a dealer for the
specification of transmitters which can be
fitted (frequency, maximum power, aerial
position, specific installation requirements),
in line with the Vehicle Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive (2004/104/EC).
Declarations of conformity for radio
equipment
The relevant certificates are available on the
http://service.dsautomobiles.com website.
Hazard warning lamps

direction indicators to flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
Automatic operation of hazard

Activation/Deactivation



►  With the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop &
Go function activated, press this button.
The action is confirmed by:
–

The indic
ator lamp in the button lighting up
green.
–

The follo
wing symbol being displayed on the
instrument panel.
The colour of the symbol on the instrument panel
depends on the operating status of the system:
(grey colour)
One or more operating conditions is not
met; the system is paused.
(green colour)
All operating conditions are met; the
system is active.
(orange colour)
System malfunction.
For vehicles equipped with a head-up
display, the information is projected onto
the blade.
If the driver no longer wishes to use the system
for a while, they can deactivate it by pressing the
button again.
The indicator lamp in the button goes off and the
symbol disappears from the instrument panel.
The system status is saved when the
ignition is switched off.
Cruise control
The driver must hold the steering wheel properly.
When cruise control is activated, the symbol is
displayed in green: by small steering actions, the
system directs the vehicle and keeps it in the
position chosen by the driver, in the traffic lane.
This position is not necessarily the centre of the
lane.
The driver can feel movements in the steering
wheel.
The driver can change the position of the vehicle
at any time, by turning the steering wheel, which
suspends the function. The driver positions the
vehicle where they wish to in the lane. When
the driver feels that the vehicle’s position is
appropriate, they maintain it until the function
is reactivated. The system regains control by
regulating on the new defined position.
Pausing/Suspending the
system
The driver must act promptly if they
believe that the traffic conditions or the
state of the road surface require their
intervention, by moving the steering wheel to
temporarily suspend system operation. Any
action on the brake pedal that results in cruise
control being paused will also cause the
system to be paused.
If the system detects that the driver is not
holding the wheel firmly enough, it
triggers a series of gradual alerts and then
deactivates itself if there is no response from
the driver.
If the function is suspended due to the
prolonged release of the force holding the
steering wheel, you must reactivate it by
pressing the button again.
Automatic pause
– Triggering o f the ESC.
– Prolonged failure t o detect one of the lane
limit markings. In this case, the active lane
departure warning function can take over, and the
system will reactivate itself once the operating
conditions are again met.
In response to action by the driver: suspension
– Activation of the direction indicators.
– Tra velling outside the lane limits.
–

dynamic action on the steering wheel.
