DS 3: Ease of use and comfort / Correct driving position
DS 3 2016-2025 Owners Manual
For
safety reasons, adjustments must
only be made when the vehicle is
stationary.
Before taking to the road and to make the most
of the ergonomic layout of the instruments and
controls, carry out these adjustments in the
following order:
- head restraint height.
- seat backrest angle.
- seat cushion height.
- longitudinal seat position.
- steering wheel height and reach.
- rear view mirror and door mirrors.

Once these adjustments have been made,
check that the instrument panel can be
viewed correctly from your driving position.
Before moving the seat backwards,
ensure that there is no person or object
that might prevent the full travel of the seat.
There is a risk of trapping or pinching
passengers if present in the rear seats or of
jamming the seat if large objects are placed on
the floor behind the seat...
Other information:
Load distribution
Distribute the load in the trailer so that
the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance...
For
more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids.
This system prevents the vehicle
from
exceeding the speed programmed by the
driver (speed setting).
The speed limiter is switched on manually...
