DS 3: Proximity Keyless Entry and Start / Unlocking the vehicle
DS 3 2016-2025 Owners Manual

Selective unlocking (driver’s
door, boot) is
configured in the Driving/Vehicle touch
screen menu.
Selective unlocking is deactivated by default.
Complete unlocking
The vehicle (doors and boot) unlocks:
- either automatically when the driver is
approaching (zone C), if the automatic functions
are activated;
- or by a light press on a handle.
Unlocking, and alarm deactivation (depending
on version), is confirmed by the flashing of the
direction indicators and lighting of the daytime
running lamps.
The vehicle door handles, and depending on
version, the door mirrors, unfold.
If the key remains around
the vehicle
(zones A, B or C) for more than 15 minutes
without any action, the automatic functions
are deactivated. To unlock or lock the vehicle,
use the remote control or press one of the door
handles.
If using the door handle does not lock/unlock
the vehicle, bring the key closer and repeat the
desired action.
