DS DRIVE ASSIST
This system automatically adjusts the speed
and corrects the trajectory of the vehicle, using
Adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go function in
conjunction with Lane Positioning Assist.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
For more information on Adaptive cruise
control and Lane Positioning Assist, refer to the
corresponding sections.
The system assists the driver by acting on
the steering, acceleration and braking
within the physical limits and capacities of the
vehicle. Certain road infrastructure elements
or vehicles in the surroundings may not be
properly seen or may be poorly interpreted by
the camera and radar, resulting in an
unexpected change in direction, a lack of
steering correction and/or inappropriate
management of acceleration or braking.
Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motorways, this system only
works with moving vehicles driving in the same
direction as your vehicle.
Adaptive cruise control
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids and the Specific
recommendations of cruise control.
This system automatically maintains the vehicle
speed at a value set by the driver (speed setting),
while respecting a safety distance from the
vehicle in front (target vehicle) previously set by
the driver. The system automatically manages the
acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle.
With the Stop function, the system manages
braking until the vehicle comes to a complete
stop.
With the Stop & Go function, the system manages
braking until the vehicle comes to a complete stop
and restarts the vehicle.

121
Driving06
The brake lamps come on if the vehicle is
slowed down by the system.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake lamps
are not in perfect working order.


To do this, the system uses a camera fitted at the
top of the windscreen and, depending on version,
a radar fitted in the front bumper.
Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motorways, this system only
works with moving vehicles driving in the same
direction as your vehicle.
If the driver activates the direction
indicator to overtake a slower vehicle,
cruise control may temporarily reduce the
distance to the target vehicle to facilitate
overtaking, without exceeding the speed
setting.

Malfunction
This warning lamp lights up on the
instrument panel with the message
"Sensor blind" in certain cases.
Version with camera only: the system is
deactivated.
Version with camera and radar: the system may
continue to operate in a degraded mode.
This may be caused by a reduced visibility
(e.g. rain, fog, snow, blinding by low sun) or by a
real sensor blockage. In this case, stop the vehicle
and verify if the front camera or the front radar is
covered by dirt, snow, ice or anything preventing
the sensing.
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.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If these warning lamps come on
after the engine has been switched
off and then restarted, contact a dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the system checked.
These warning lamps light up on
the instrument panel and/or in the
warning lamp display for seat belts and front
passenger airbag to indicate that the driver's and/
or front passenger's seat belt is not fastened
(depending on version). The automatic braking
system is deactivated until the seat belts are
fastened.
Distraction detection
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids.
The function comprises the "Driver Attention
Warning" and "Driver Attention Warning by
Camera" systems, combined, depending on
version, with the "DS DRIVER ATTENTION
MONITORING" system.
These systems are in no way designed to
keep the driver awake or to prevent the
driver from falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling
tired.
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.
Activation/Deactivation
By default, the function is automatically activated
at every engine start.
The settings are changed via the ADAS
touch screen application.
Driver Attention Warning
The system triggers an alert when it
detects that the driver has not taken a
break after two hours of driving at a speed above
43 mph (70 km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a message
encouraging the driver to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert
is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
–

With the engine running, the v
ehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes.
–

The ignition has been s
witched off for a few
minutes.
–

The driv
er's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is opened.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops
below 43 mph (70 km/h), the system goes
into standby.
Driving time starts being counted again once
the speed reaches above 43 mph (70 km/h).

or other objects; they may hamper correct
operation of the system.
Parking sensors
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids.


This system detects and signals the proximity of
obstacles (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier)
using sensors located in the bumper.
Rear parking sensors
►  Engage reverse gear to start the system
(confirmed by an audible signal).
The system is switched off when reverse gear is
disengaged.
Audible assistance

The system signals the presence of obstacles
which are both within the sensors’ detection zone
and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of
the steering wheel.


Depending on version, in the example shown, only
the obstacles present in the shaded area will be
signalled by the audible assistance.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
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 signalPressing this button opens the
window for adjusting the volume of
the audible signal.
Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal, without
taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by
displaying bars on the screen whose location
represents 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
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).

Compatibility of fuels
Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard
containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol respectively.

Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734
and EN16709 standards and containing up to
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even
occasionally, imposes special maintenance
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".

Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940
standard.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(e.g. pure or diluted vegetable or animal
oils, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited - risk
of damaging the engine and fuel system!
The only fuel additives authorised for use
are those that meet the B715001 (petrol)
or B715000 (Diesel) standards.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could prevent the engine from operating correctly. In these temperature conditions, use
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank
more than 50 % full.
At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular fuel
may be required (specific octane rating, specific
trade name, etc.) to ensure correct operation of
the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 55
litres (Diesel), 62 litres (Petrol) or 43 litres
(Rechargeable hybrid).
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached, this
warning lamp lights up on the instrument
panel, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal. When it first comes on,
about 6 litres of fuel remain.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by the message and the audible
signal. When driving, this message and audible
signal are repeated with increasing frequency as
the fuel level drops towards 0.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
A small arrow by the warning lamp
indicates which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler flap is located on.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refuelling
Any addition of fuel must be in quantities of at
least 10 litres, in order to be registered by the fuel
gauge.
Opening the filler flap may create a noise caused
by an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal,
resulting from the sealing of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
►  Always switch off the engine.

charge level.
Low charging / Parking
If the outside temperature is negative,
it is recommended not to park your vehicle
outside for several hours at a low charging
(less than 20%).
Vehicle in storage for more than 1 month
In the event of a long period of non-use
of the vehicle (beyond 4 weeks) without the
possibility of charging when restarting, the
self-discharge may make it impossible to
restart if the traction battery charge level is a
low or very low, especially at negative ambient
temperatures. ALWAYS make sure that the
traction battery has a charge between 20%
and 40% if you do not plan to use your vehicle
for several weeks.
Do not connect the charging cable.
Always park the vehicle in a place with
temperatures between -10°C and 30°C
(parking in a place with extreme temperatures
can damage the traction battery).
Refer to the Accessory battery (Rechargeable
hybrid) section for the battery disconnection
procedure.
Precautions
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles have
been developed in accordance with the
recommendations for maximum electromagnetic
field limits established by the ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection - 1998 Guidelines).
Wearers of pacemakers or equivalent
devices should consult a doctor to enquire
about any applicable precautionary measures, or
contact the manufacturer of their implanted
electronic medical device to check that it is
guaranteed to operate in an environment
compliant with the ICNIRP guidelines.
If in doubt, during charging, do not remain inside
