DS 3: Indicators / Thermal comfort consumption indicator (Electric)
DS 3 2016-2025 Owners Manual
(Depending on version)

The gauge shows the consumption of the traction
battery's electrical energy by the thermal comfort
devices in the passenger compartment.
The devices in question are the heating and air
conditioning systems.
This equipment can be used:
- If the vehicle is not plugged in, when the READY
lamp is lit.
- If the vehicle is plugged in, when the ignition is
switched on ("Lounge" mode).
Selecting ECO mode limits the performance of
some of this equipment. The thermal comfort
consumption indicator then moves into the "ECO"
zone.
To quickly heat or cool
the passenger
compartment, feel free to temporarily
select the maximum heating or cooling setting.
Excessive use of thermal comfort equipment,
particularly at low speed, can significantly
decrease the vehicle's range.
Remember to optimise equipment settings
upon achieving the desired level of comfort,
and adjust them if necessary whenever you
start the vehicle.
After an extended period without using the
heating, you may notice a slight odour during
the first few minutes of use.
The traction battery charge status and remaining
range are displayed continuously when the
vehicle is started.
With the ignition off,
opening the driver's
door activates the indicator...
Manual test
This function allows you to check certain
