DS 3: Driving / Cruise control - particular recommendations
DS 3 2016-2025 Owners Manual
For
the safety of everyone, only use the
cruise control where the driving
conditions allow running at a constant speed
and keeping an adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant when the cruise control is
activated. If you hold one of the speed setting
modification buttons down, a very rapid
change in the speed of your vehicle may occur.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the set speed. Brake if necessary to
control the speed of your vehicle.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set speed
may not be reached or maintained.
Exceeding the
programmed speed setting
You can temporarily exceed the speed
setting by pressing the accelerator pedal (the
programmed speed flashes).
To return to the speed setting, release the
accelerator pedal (when the set speed is
reached again, the displayed speed stops
flashing).
Operating limits
Never use the system in the following
situations:
- In an urban area with the risk of pedestrians
crossing the road.
- In heavy traffic (except versions with the
Stop & Go function).
- On winding or steep roads.
- On slippery or flooded roads.
- In poor weather conditions.
