Main lighting



Automatic illumination of headlamps/
daytime running lamps.
Sidelamps only.
Dipped or main beam headlamps.
"Highway function"
On versions fitted with "Full LED"
technology headlamps, the range of the dipped
beam headlamps is automatically increased
once the speed of the vehicle is above 68 mph
(110 km/h).
Headlamp dipping

►  Pull the stalk to switch between dipped and
main beam headlamps.
In “AUTO” and sidelamps modes, the driver can
switch on the main beam headlamps temporarily
(“headlamp flash”) by pulling the stalk.
Displays
Illumination of the corresponding indicator lamp
in the instrument panel confirms that the lighting
selected is on.
A fault with a lamp is signalled by the
permanent illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal.
Rear foglamp
It only works if the dipped or main beam
headlamps are on.


►  Rotate the ring forwards to switch it on and
backwards to switch it off.
When the lamps are switched off automatically
("AUTO" position), the foglamp and the dipped
beam headlamps will remain on.
Switching on the foglamps is prohibited in
clear weather or in rain, both day and
night. In these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers. They must
only be used in fog or falling snow (rules may
vary depending on country).
Do not forget to switch off the foglamps when
they are no longer necessary.
Switching off of the lamps when the
ignition is switched off
When the ignition is switched off, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except for dipped
beam headlamps if automatic guide-me-home
lighting is activated.
Switching on the lamps after switching
off the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate the
ring to the "AUTO" position, then to the desired
position.
If the driver's door is opened, a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the lamps
are on.
They will go off automatically after a period
of time that depends on the state of charge of
the battery (entering energy economy mode).
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence of
misting on the internal surface of the glass of
the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it
disappears after the lamps have been on for a
few minutes.
Never look too closely at the luminous
beam of “Full LED” headlamps: risk of
serious eye injury.
Travelling abroad
Vehicles equipped with halogen
headlamps:
If planning to use your vehicle in a country

Lighting and visibility04
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.
Nominal main beam lighting is restored as soon
as the vehicle is no longer detected by the system.
Entering an illuminated area
At the entrance to an illuminated area (for
example, a town), the lamp segments are
gradually switched off from the outside to the

when the ignition is switched off.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
►  Flashing the headlamps pauses the
function and the system changes to "automatic
illumination of headlamps" mode:
To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps
again.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs with the adaptive
headlamp lighting or the camera, this
warning lamp is displayed in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, linked
to the rain sensor and located at the top
centre of the windscreen behind the interior
rear view mirror; the associated functions
would no longer be controlled.
The system may suffer interference or not
work correctly:
–

under c
onditions of poor visibility (snow,
heavy rain, etc.),
–

if the windscreen in fron
t of the camera is
dirty, misted or obscured (for example, by a
sticker, etc.),
–

if the v
ehicle is facing highly reflective signs
or safety barrier reflectors.
It is recommended to deactivate the function
in foggy or snowy conditions or in case of
heavy mist.
The function temporarily deactivates when
the system detects thick fog or when you
switch on the foglamps. This is signalled by
the extinction of the indicator lamp in the
instrument panel.
The system is not able to detect:
–

road users tha
t do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians,
–

v
ehicles whose lighting is obscured (for
example: vehicles running behind a safety
barrier on a motorway),
–

v
ehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the
camera.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
obstruct the detection camera.

66Safety05
Deactivation / Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle stuck
in mud, immobilised in snow, on soft ground, etc.),
it may be useful to deactivate the ASR system to
freely spin the wheels and regain traction.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of grip
permits.
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
Deactivation is confirmed by the
illumination of this indicator lamp in the
instrument panel and the display of a message.
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on or
from 31 mph (50 km/h).
Reactivation is manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).
Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this
warning lamp comes on, accompanied by
an onscreen message and audible signal.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the systems checked.
ASR / DSC
These systems enhance safety during
normal driving, but should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow,
ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It
is therefore important for your safety to keep
these systems activated in all conditions, and
particularly in difficult conditions.
For technical reasons, in particular to
improve the quality of telematic services
for customers, the Manufacturer reserves the
right to carry out updates to the vehicle's
on-board telematic system at any time.
If you benefit from the DS CONNECT BOX
offer with the SOS and Assistance Pack
included, you have available additional
services in your personal space, via the
website in your country.
For information about the SOS and Assistance
Pack, please refer to the general conditions for
these services.
Electronic stability control
(ESC)
The electronic stability control programme
includes the following systems:
–

An
ti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic
brake force distribution (EBFD).
–

Emergenc
y braking assistance (EBA).
–

An
ti-slip regulation (ASR).
–

Dynamic st
ability control (DSC).
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and Electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability
and handling during braking, and enable greater
control while cornering, particularly on poor or
slippery road surfaces.
ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of
emergency braking.
EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by
wheel.
This warning lamp comes on fixed in the
event of an ABS malfunction.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at a moderate speed.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop as soon
as possible.
This warning lamp, when lit together with
the STOP and ABS warning lamps,
accompanied by a message and an audible signal,
indicates an EBFD malfunction.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.
The normal operation of the ABS may
result in slight vibrations in the brake
pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press very
firmly and maintain this pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach
the optimum braking pressure more quickly and
therefore reduce the stopping distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which the
brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a reduction
in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) /
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Anti-slip regulation optimises traction using
engine braking and by applying the brakes on the
driving wheels to avoid wheel spinning. It also
enhances the vehicle's directional stability while
accelerating.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the
dynamic stability control system automatically
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip or
trajectory problem.
This warning lamp on the instrument panel
flashes to indicate that they are operating.
