Suspending/resuming the manoeuvre

The manoeuvre can be interrupted temporarily at any time, either automatically by the system if an obstacle is detected, or by driver action. If the driver notices a hazard, they may also interrupt the manoeuvre permanently.

  • To suspend the manoeuvre, the driver can:
  • Release the function control button.
  • Depress the brake pedal.
  • Resume control of the steering.
  • Change the gearbox status (except changing to P).

The vehicle is immediately immobilised if the manoeuvre is suspended.

DS 3. Preparing for the manoeuvre. Performing the manoeuvre. End of manoeuvre This is confirmed by the display of this symbol, accompanied by the message "Manoeuvre suspended".

Resuming the manoeuvre after resolving the conditions for suspending it:

  • Release all controls (brake pedal, function control button, steering wheel, gear selector).
  • Press the function control button again.

Permanent interruption after suspending the manoeuvre:

  • Depress the brake pedal and engage a gear.

Aborting the manoeuvre

The manoeuvre is aborted in the following situations:

  • No action by the driver within 30 seconds of the manoeuvre being suspended.
  • Intentional application of the parking brake.
  • Gearbox mode P engaged by the driver.
  • Driver's seat belt unfastened.
  • Opening of a door or the boot.
  • Activation of the direction indicator lamps on the opposite side to that of the manoeuvre.
  • In certain cases, when a wheel of the vehicle hits a pavement or a low obstacle.
  • Triggering of anti-slip regulation on a slippery road.
  • Sudden appearance in the field of the manoeuvre of an obstacle not detected by the system before the manoeuvre was started, with the obstacle remaining for more than 30 seconds.
  • After 10 manoeuvres to enter or exit a "parallel" parking space and after 7 manoeuvres to enter a "bay" parking space,
  • System malfunction during the manoeuvre.

Abandoning the manoeuvre immediately triggers the vehicle’s brakes and automatically deactivates the function.

  • When exiting a parking space, the gearbox changes to N when the manoeuvre is complete. A message and symbols prompt the driver to take back control of the vehicle.

The gearbox automatically changes to mode P if no action is taken by the driver within 30 seconds.
