With Rechargeable hybrid
engines
Whenever the ignition is switched on, Electric
driving mode is selected by default.
Electric
Allows driving using 100% electrical energy.
The maximum speed is approximately 84 mph
(135 km/h).
When starting the vehicle, if the conditions do
not allow the activation or retention of Electric
mode, the message "Electric mode currently
unavailable" is displayed on the instrument panel.
The vehicle automatically changes to Hybrid
mode.
If an LED comes on under the interior rear view
mirror, visible from outside the vehicle, this
confirms that you are driving in Electric mode
(depending on country of sale).
The LED can be deactivated by inserting
the tip of a paper clip or other similar
object into the hole located underneath the
interior rear view mirror.
Conditions of activation
–

Adequa
te battery charge level. Charging
the vehicle after each drive is therefore
recommended. Electric mode is available as long
as there is power left in the battery.
–

O

utside temperature between approximately
-5°C and 45°C.
Manually exiting the mode
►  Fully depress the accelerator pedal, or
►  Select another mode.
In case of non-use of the vehicle for a long
period (several months), a restart of the
petrol engine may occur even if the battery is
charged.
Depending on equipment, Electric mode is
combined with Normal mode of the DS
ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION function.
For more information on DS ACTIVE SCAN
SUSPENSION, refer to the corresponding
section.
In the event of multiple starts of the
internal combustion engine without a
sufficient rise in
temperature,  Electric mode may be temporarily
unavailable (natural phenomenon of dilution of
fuel in oil). The message "Electric mode
unavailable: automatic operation in progress"
then appears on the instrument panel.
To regain normal electrical operation, drive
approximately 50 miles (80 km) in "motorway"
conditions or approximately 125 miles (200
km) in urban conditions.
This phenomenon does not cause any
mechanical or electrical damage. It can occur
several times in the life of the vehicle.
Hybrid
To optimise the vehicle's fuel consumption
by managing the alternating or simultaneous
operation of the two types of engine, depending
on driving conditions and driving style.
In Hybrid mode, it is possible to drive in 100%
electric mode if the battery charge level is
sufficient and acceleration requirements are
moderate.
Depending on equipment, Hybrid mode is
combined with Normal mode of the DS
ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION function.
For more information on DS ACTIVE SCAN
SUSPENSION, refer to the corresponding
section.
Sport
To obtain more dynamic driving in order to benefit
from the maximum performance of the vehicle.
Electric power is used to supplement the petrol
engine as long as there is energy left in the
battery.
Depending on equipment, Sport mode is
combined with Sport mode of the DS
ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION function.

a message.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine)
This system is designed to reduce fuel
consumption by recommending the most suitable
gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the
vehicle's equipment, the system may recommend
skipping one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are not to be
considered mandatory. Indeed, the configuration
of the road, the traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains responsible
for deciding whether or not to follow the system’s
advice.
The system cannot be deactivated.
The system is only active in mode M of the
automatic gearbox.
The information appears on the instrument
panel, in the form of an arrow and the
recommended gear.
The system adapts the gear change
instructions according to the driving
conditions (e.g. slope, load) and driving style
(e.g. power demand, acceleration, braking).
The system never suggests:
–

engaging first gear
.
–

engaging re
verse gear.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stationary (e.g. red
lights, traffic jams). The engine automatically
restarts - START mode - as soon as the driver
indicates the intention of moving off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
The function does not affect the functionalities of
the vehicle, in particular the braking.
Deactivation/Reactivation
By default, the function is activated when the
ignition is switched on.
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
or
Direct access to the Shortcuts for driving aids.
The display of a message on the instrument panel
confirms the change of state.
If the function is deactivated while the engine is
in STOP mode, it will restart immediately.
Associated indicator lamps

(STOP mode)
Function deactivated or malfunction
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid
any risk of injury caused by the engine
restarting automatically.
Driving on flooded roads
Before entering into a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate the
Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
recommendations, particularly on flooded
roads, refer to the corresponding section.
Operation
Main conditions for operation
– The driver’s door must be closed.
– The driv er's seat belt must be fastened.
–

The le
vel of charge in the battery must be
sufficient.
–

The t
emperature of the engine must be within
its nominal operating range.

Driving06
– The outside temperature must be between 0°C
and 35°C.
Putting the engine into standby (STOP
mode)
The engine automatically enters standby mode
as soon as the driver indicates their intention to
stop:
–

With an automatic gearbo
x, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h) on BlueHDi versions, or below
2 mph (3 km/h) on PureTech 130, 180 and 225
versions, when you depress the brake pedal or
place the gear selector in mode N.
Time counter
A time counter adds up the time spent in standby
during the journey. It is reset to zero every time
the ignition is switched on.
Special cases:
The engine will not go into standby if the
conditions for operation are not met and in the
following cases:
–

St
eep slope (ascending or descending).
–

Needed t
o maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
–

Demisting activ
e.
In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes
for a few seconds, then goes off.
After the engine has restarted, STOP
mode is not available until the vehicle has
reached a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).
During parking manoeuvres, STOP mode is
not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear or turning the
steering wheel.
Restarting the engine (START mode)
The engine automatically restarts as soon as the
driver indicates the intention of moving off again:
–

With the select
or in mode D or M: with the
brake pedal released.
–

With the select
or in mode N and the brake
pedal released: with the selector at D or M.
–

With the select
or in mode P and the brake pedal
depressed: with the selector at R, N, D or M.
–

With re
verse gear engaged.
Special cases
The engine will restart automatically if the
conditions for operation are met again and in the
following cases:
–
V
ehicle speed exceeds 2.5 mph (4 km/h) with
PureTech 130, 180 and 225 versions, or 16 mph
(25 km/h) with BlueHDi versions.
In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes
for a few seconds, then goes off.
Malfunctions
In the event of a fault with the system, this
warning lamp flashes for a few moments
on the instrument panel, then remains on,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if there is a fault.
►  Switch off the ignition then start the engine
again with the "START/STOP" button.
12 V battery
The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work must be carried out only by a dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
This system alerts the driver if one or more tyres
suffer a drop in pressure.
The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving, not
when stationary.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which must
be reinitialised every time the tyre pressures are
adjusted or a wheel changed.
It takes into account the last values stored
during the reinitialisation request. It is therefore
essential that the tyre pressure is correct during
the operation. This operation is the driver’s
responsibility.

111
Driving06
The tyre under-inflation detection cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel), especially before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high speed,
long journey):
–

w

orsens road-holding.
–

lengthens braking dist
ances.
–

c

auses premature wear of the tyres.
–

increase
s energy consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the Identification
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done monthly when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour
or after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km)
at moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown
on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and, depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
►  Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
►  Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
The loss of pressure detected may not
always cause visible deformation of the
tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
►  Using a compressor, such as the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of all four tyres when cold.
►  If it is not possible to carry out this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.
►  In the event of a puncture, use the temporary
puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (depending
on equipment).
Driving too slowly may not ensure
optimum monitoring.
The alert is not immediately triggered in the
event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre blow-
out. This is because analysis of the values read
by the wheel's speed sensors can take several
minutes.
The alert may be delayed at speeds below 25
mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty
driving mode.
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
►  The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,
and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written on
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
With the vehicle stationary, the system
can be reinitialised in the Settings>Vehicle
touch screen application.
►  Then select Safety > Tire Pressure Setup.
►  Press YES to confirm.
The reinitialisation is confirmed by the display of
a message and an audible signal.

112
Driving06
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, these
warning lamps light up on the
instrument panel.
A message appears, accompanied by an audible
signal.
In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring
function is no longer performed.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Non-standard or 'space-saver' spare
wheel
The use of this type of spare wheel may
suspend tyre pressure monitoring.
In this case, the malfunction warning lamp
comes on and disappears once the wheel has
been replaced by one of uniform size (the same
as the others), the pressure readjusted and
the reinitialisation carried out.
Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in
all circumstances and must be able to retake
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt
the speed to climatic conditions, traffic and
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
monitor traffic conditions, assess the distance
and relative speed of other vehicles, and
anticipate their manoeuvres before using the
direction indicator and changing lanes.
These systems do not make it possible to
exceed the laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel with
both hands, always use the door and interior
mirrors, always leave your feet close to the
pedals and take a break every 2 hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and during
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the
mirrors.
Radar(s)
The operation of the radar(s), along with
any associated functions, may be affected by
the accumulation of dirt (e.g. mud, ice), in poor
weather conditions (e.g. heavy rain, snow), or
if the bumpers are damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact
a dealer or a qualified workshop; certain types
of paint could interfere with the operation of
the radar(s).


Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or masked
by a sticker.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light) can also impair
detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement,
contact a dealer or a qualified workshop
to recalibrate the camera; otherwise, the
operation of the associated driving aids may
be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s) displayed
on the touch screen or on the instrument panel
may be distorted by the terrain.

113
Driving06
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors, as well as
any associated functions, may be disrupted by
noise pollution such as that emitted by noisy
vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries, pneumatic
drills), by the accumulation of snow or dead
leaves on the road or in the event of damaged
bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer be
detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30 cm away from
the radar, sensors and cameras.
Mats/Pedal trims
The use of mats or pedal trims not
approved by the Manufacturer may interfere
with the operation of the speed limiter or
cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
–

Ensure tha
t the mat is secured correctly.
–

Ne
ver fit one mat on top of another.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Shortcuts for driving aids
The full list of available driving aids can be found
in the Functions tab. Driving aids can be accessed directly to quickly
activate/deactivate them.
By default, driving aids are already stored in the

Navigation mapping should be regularly
updated in order to receive accurate
speed limit information from the system.
The units for the speed limit (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
This should be taken into account to ensure
you observe the speed limit.
For the system to work properly when
changing countries, the speed unit of the
instrument panel must match that of the
country you are driving in.
Automatic sign reading is a driving aid
system and does not always display the
correct speed limits.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over those displayed by
the system.
The system is designed to detect signs that
conform to the Vienna Convention on road
signs.
Specific speed limits, such as those for
heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit on the
instrument panel is updated when passing
a speed limit sign intended for cars (light
vehicles).
Activation/Deactivation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
Information displayed on the
instrument panel
