DS 3: Driving recommendations / On flooded roads
DS 3 2016-2023 Owners Manual
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage to the
engine or gearbox, as well as to your vehicle's
electrical systems.

If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a
flooded section of road:
- Check that the depth of the water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that might
be generated by other users.
- Deactivate the Stop & Start function.
- Drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h).
- Do not stop and do not switch off the motor.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle, contact
a dealer or a qualified workshop.
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...
On the outside
Due to the vehicle’s quiet operation when driving,
the driver must pay particular attention.
At speeds of up to 19 mph (30 km/h), the
pedestrian horn warns other road users of the
vehicle’s presence...
