DS 3 2016-2026 Owners Manual

- Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control
stalk, beyond the point of resistance.
If
you keep the direction indicators on for
more than 20 seconds, the volume of the
audible signal will increase if the speed is
above 50 mph (80 km/h).
Three flashes
- Press briefly upwards or downwards, without
going beyond the point of resistance; the direction
indicators will flash 3 times.
Parking lamps
(Depending on version)
Vehicle side marking by lighting the sidelamps on
the traffic side only.
- Within one minute after switching off the
ignition, operate the lighting control stalk
upwards or downwards, depending on the side of
the traffic (e.g. when parking on the right, push
the lighting control stalk down to light up on the
left).
This is confirmed by an audible signal and the
lighting of the corresponding direction indicator
lamp on the instrument panel.
- To switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to the central position.
The front and rear lamps light up automatically
when the engine starts.
They provide the following functions:
Daytime running lamps (lighting control stalk in
the "AUTO" position with adequate light level)...
With the lighting control stalk in the “AUTO”
position and if a low level of exterior brightness
is detected by the rain/sunshine sensor, the sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps
are
switched on automatically, without any action on
the part of the driver...

It comes on gradually:
when the vehicle is unlocked.
when the ignition is switched off.

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...
