Operation  
The system operates under the following  
conditions:  
Operation of the function may be felt by  
slight vibration in the brake pedal.  
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the  
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2  
seconds.  
Activation/Deactivation  
These functions are activated and  
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle menu of  
the touch screen.  
The state of the system stays in the memory when  
the ignition is switched off.  
– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 37 mph (60  
km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.  
– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph  
(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle is detected.  
– The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and  
53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with  
camera alone) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions  
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle is  
detected.  
This warning lamp flashes (for about  
10 seconds) once the function is acting on  
the vehicle's brakes.  
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of  
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle  
comes to a complete stop, keep the brake pedal  
pressed down to prevent the vehicle from starting  
off again.  
Malfunction  
Driver Attention Alert  
In the event of a fault with the system, you  
are alerted by the fixed illumination of this  
warning lamp, accompanied by the display of a  
message and an audible signal.  
The system triggers an alert as soon as it  
detects that the driver has not taken a  
break after two hours of driving at a speed above  
40 mph (65 km/h).  
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to have  
the system checked.  
This alert is issued via the display of a message  
encouraging the driver to take a break,  
accompanied by an audible signal.  
If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert  
is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.  
The system resets itself if one of the following  
conditions is met:  
– With the engine running, the vehicle has been  
stationary for more than 15 minutes.  
– The ignition has been switched off for a few  
minutes.  
Distraction detection  
Refer to the General recommendations on the use  
of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
Take a break in case of feeling tired or at least  
every 2 hours.  
The function comprises the "Driver Attention  
Alert" and "Driver Attention Alert by camera"  
systems, combined, depending on version, with  
the "DS Driver Attention Monitoring" system.  
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic  
emergency braking until the vehicle comes to a  
complete stop, the engine may stall.  
– The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their  
door is opened.  
The driver can maintain control of the  
vehicle at any time by sharply turning the  
steering wheel and/or pressing the accelerator  
pedal.  
These systems are in no way designed to  
keep the driver awake or to prevent the  
driver from falling asleep at the wheel.  
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling  
tired.  
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops  
below 40 mph (65 km/h), the system goes  
into standby.  
The driving time is counted again once the  
speed is above 40 mph (65 km/h).

The distraction or loss of attention  
detection system may be impaired or may  
not work, especially in the following  
conditions:  
Driver Attention Alert by  
camera  
DS Driver Attention Monitoring  
– system’s camera field of vision blocked or  
obstructed.  
– wearing certain types of spectacles or  
sunglasses that are very dark or reflective.  
– face partially covered (by your hand, hair,  
etc.).  
– unusual or incorrect driving position.  
In no case shall the Manufacturer be held  
liable in the event of alerts not being given or  
for consequences associated with the use of  
this system.  
In versions offering this function, an  
additional (infrared) camera is fitted on  
the steering column, behind the steering wheel, to  
monitor driver behaviour.  
Using a camera placed at the top of the  
windscreen, the system assesses the  
driver's level of vigilance, fatigue or distraction by  
identifying variations in trajectory compared to  
the lane markings.  
This system is particularly suited to fast roads  
(speed higher than 40 mph (65 km/h)).  
At a first-level alert, the driver is warned by the  
Take care!” message, accompanied by an audible  
signal.  
The camera analyses, firstly, the direction of the  
driver's gaze and head to assess their distraction  
level and, secondly, the closing of their eyelids to  
assess the level of their vigilance and attention.  
When the vigilance level (distraction or loss of  
attention) is low, the system emits an alert.  
With the “Personal” display mode of the digital  
instrument panel, the driver can select the  
permanent display of the “Vigilance level”  
diagram so that they can monitor this information  
in real time.  
Lane Departure Warning  
System  
Refer to the General recommendations on the use  
of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
This system, using a camera which recognises  
solid or broken lines, detects the involuntary  
crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on  
the ground.  
If the driver's attention drops and the speed  
is higher than 37 mph (60 km/h), the system  
triggers a warning if there is an unexpected  
change of direction.  
After three first-level alerts, the system triggers  
a further alert with the message "Dangerous  
driving: take a break", accompanied by a more  
pronounced audible signal.  
The function activates over 16 mph (25  
km/h).  
This system is particularly useful on motorways  
and main roads.
