DS 3: Driving / Driving recommendations

• Observe the driving regulations and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
• Monitor your environment and keep your hands on the wheel to be able to react to anything that may happen any time.
• Drive smoothly, anticipate the need for braking and maintain a longer safety distance, especially in bad weather.
• Stop the vehicle before performing operations that require sustained attention (e.g. settings).
• During long trips, take a break every 2 hours.

Important!

Never leave the engine running in a closed space without sufficient ventilation.

Internal combustion engines emit toxic exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide.

Danger of poisoning and death!

In very severe wintry conditions (temperature below -23°C), let the engine run for 4 minutes before moving off, to ensure the correct operation and durability of the mechanical components of your vehicle (engine and gearbox).

Never drive with the parking brake applied. Risk of overheating and damaging the braking system!

Do not park the vehicle or leave the engine running on a flammable surface (e.g. dry grass, dead leaves).The vehicle exhaust system is very hot, even several minutes after the engine stops. Risk of fire!

Never leave a vehicle unattended with the engine running. If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brake and put the gearbox or drive selector into neutral or position N or P (depending on version).

Never leave children inside the vehicle unsupervised.
