DS 3: Adaptive Cruise Control / Use
DS 3 2016-2025 Owners Manual
Activating the system (pause)
- With the engine running, turn the thumbwheel
1 downwards to the CRUISE position. Cruise
control is ready to operate (grey display).
Switching on cruise control and setting the speed
With a manual gearbox, your speed must be
between 19 and 112 mph (30 and 180 km/h).
With an EAT8 automatic gearbox or a drive
selector, your speed must be between 0 and
112 mph (0 and 180 km/h).
- Press button 2 or 3: the current speed
becomes the speed setting (minimum 19 mph
(30 km/h)) and cruise control is immediately
activated (green display).
- Press 3 to increase or 2 to decrease the speed
setting (steps of 5 mph (km/h) if held pressed).
Pressing and holding button 2 or 3 results
in a rapid change in the speed of the
vehicle.
Pausing/resumption of cruise control
- Press 4 or depress the brake pedal. To pause
cruise control, it is also possible to:
- shift from mode D to N;
- depress the clutch pedal for more than 10
seconds;
- Press the electric parking brake control.
- Press 4 to restart cruise control. Cruise control
may have been paused automatically:
- when the speed of the vehicle goes below 19
mph (30 km/h) with a manual gearbox.
- when the speed of the engine goes below 1100
rpm with a manual gearbox.
- by triggering of the ESC system.
With an EAT8 gearbox or a drive selector,
following braking that has brought the vehicle to
a complete stop, if the traffic conditions do not
allow the vehicle to begin moving again within
3 seconds of stopping, press button 4 or the
accelerator pedal to move off.
If the driver takes no action after the vehicle
has been stopped, the electric parking brake is
applied automatically after about 5 minutes.
Cruise control remains active after
changing gear, regardless of the gearbox
type.
When
the driver attempts to reactivate
cruise control, after the function has been
paused, the message "Activation not possible,
unsuitable conditions" is briefly displayed if
reactivation is not possible (safety conditions
not met).
Changing the programmed speed setting with the Speed Limit Recognition and
Recommendation function
- Press 5 to accept the speed suggested by
the function on the instrument panel, then press
again to confirm.
To
prevent sudden acceleration or
deceleration of the vehicle, select a speed
setting relatively close to the vehicle's current
speed.
Changing the inter-vehicle distance
Press 6 to display the distance setting
thresholds ("Distant", "Normal" or "Close"), then
press again to select a threshold.
After a few seconds, the option is accepted and
will be memorised when the ignition is switched
off.
Temporarily exceeding the speed setting
- Press the accelerator pedal fully. Distance
monitoring and cruise control are deactivated
while acceleration is maintained. "Cruise control
suspended" is displayed.
Deactivating the system
- Turn the thumbwheel 1 upwards to the OFF
position.
