put into standby mode, this information can

be displayed again by unlocking the vehicle or

opening a door.

The charging progress can also be

monitored using the MyDS application.

please refer to the corresponding section.

1. Refer to the handbook before use.

2. Incorrect use of this charging cable may

result in fire, property damage and serious

injury or death by electrocution!

3. Always use a correctly earthed power socket,

protected by a 30 mA residual current device.

4. Always use an electrical socket protected

by a circuit-breaker appropriate for the

electrical circuit’s current rating.

5. The weight of the control unit must not be

borne by the electrical socket, plug and

cables.

6. Never use this charging cable if it is defective

or in any way damaged.

Precautions

14. Only use this charging cable with DS

AUTOMOBILES vehicles.

15. Never plug the cable into the wall socket (or

unplug it) with wet hands.

Hybrid vehicles have been developed in

accordance with the recommendations for

maximum electromagnetic field limits established

by the ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-

Ionizing Radiation Protection - 1998 Guidelines).

If you have a pacemaker or equivalent,

check with a doctor about the precautions

to be taken and respected or with the

For a full charge, follow the charging

procedure without interrupting it, until it stops

automatically. Charging can be immediate or

deferred.

manufacturer of the implanted electro-medical

device that its operation is guaranteed in an

environment that complies with the ICNIRP

recommendations.

7. Never attempt to repair or open this charging

cable. It contains no repairable parts -

replace the charging cable if it is damaged.

8. Never immerse this charging cable in water.

9. Never use this charging cable with an

extension cable, a multi-plug socket,

a conversion adaptor or on a damaged

electrical socket.

The deferred charge is set via the touch

screen or the MyDS application.

If in doubt

During charging, do not remain inside or

near the vehicle, near the charging cable or the

charging unit, even for a short time.

For safety reasons, the engine will not

start if the charging cable is connected to

the vehicle connector. A warning is displayed

in the instrument panel.

Before charging

Depending on the context:

Practical information

►ꢀ Have a professional check that the

electrical system to be used complies with

applicable standards and is compatible with

the vehicle.

►ꢀ Have a professional electrician install

a dedicated domestic power socket or

accelerated charging unit (Wallbox)

compatible with the vehicle.

►ꢀ Open the charging flap by pressing the push

button and make sure that there are no foreign

bodies on the charging connector.

If this is not the case, charging has not

started; restart the procedure ensuring that all

connections are made properly.

The red indicator lamp in the flap comes on to

indicate that the nozzle is locked.

The light guides in the flap light up in white.

Domestic charging (mode 2)

Accelerated charging (mode 3)

Use the charging cable supplied with the

vehicle.

(During charging)

Never work under the bonnet:

– Some areas remain very hot, even an hour

after charging ends - risk of burns!

– The fan may start at any time - risk of cuts or

strangulation!

►ꢀ Follow the instructions for use of the

accelerated charging unit (Wallbox).

►ꢀ Remove the protective cover from the

charging nozzle.

►ꢀ Insert the nozzle in the charging connector.

The start of charging is confirmed by the flashing

of the green light guides in the flap.

If this is not the case, charging has not

started; restart the procedure ensuring that all

connections are made properly.

After charging

►ꢀ First, connect the charging cable from the

control unit to the domestic socket.

Check that the charging flap is closed.

Do not leave the cable connected to the

domestic power socket - risk of short-circuit

or electrocution in the event of contact with or

immersion in water!

When the connection is made, all of the indicator

lamps on the control unit light up, then only the

POWER indicator lamp remains on in green.

►ꢀ Remove the protective cover from the

charging nozzle.

The red indicator lamp in the flap comes on to

indicate that the nozzle is locked.

►ꢀ Insert the nozzle in the charging connector.

The start of charging is confirmed by the flashing

of the green light guides in the flap and the

flashing of the CHARGE indicator lamp in green on

the control unit.

Charging procedure

Disconnection

Connection

►ꢀ Before charging, check that the gear selector

is in mode P and the ignition is off, otherwise

charging is impossible.

163

Practical information

Before disconnecting the nozzle from the

charging connector:

►ꢀ If the vehicle is unlocked, lock it and then

unlock it.

►ꢀ If the vehicle is locked, unlock it.

The red indicator lamp in the flap goes out to

confirm that the charging nozzle is unlocked.

►ꢀ Within 30 seconds, remove the charging

nozzle.

Settings

►ꢀ In the Hybrid touch screen menu, select

the Charge tab.

►ꢀ Set the charging start time.

►ꢀ Press OK.

The setting is saved in the system.

You can also programme the deferred

charging function using a smartphone, via

the MyDS application.

For more information on Remotely operable

features, refer to the corresponding section.

Use towing devices and their genuine

wiring harnesses approved by the

Manufacturer. It is recommended that the

fitting be performed by a dealer or a qualified

workshop.

If not fitted by a dealer, it must still be fitted

in accordance with the Manufacturer's

instructions.

Important: with a motorised tailgate with

“Hands-Free Tailgate Access“ function, if

a towing device is fitted outside the dealer

network, it is essential to visit a dealer or a

qualified workshop to recalibrate the detection

system - risk of "Hands-Free Tailgate Access"

function failure.

Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions

are automatically deactivated if an approved

towing system is used.

Domestic charging (mode 2)

The end of charging is confirmed by the fixed

lighting of the green CHARGE indicator lamp on

the control unit and by the fixed lighting of the

green light guides in the flap.

►ꢀ After disconnection, remove the protective

cover from the nozzle and close the charging flap.

►ꢀ Disconnect the control unit's charging cable

from the domestic socket.

Activation

►ꢀ Connect the vehicle to the desired charging

equipment.

►ꢀ Press this button in the flap within one

minute to activate the system (confirmed

by the light guides coming on in blue).

Accelerated charging (mode 3)

Observe the maximum authorised towable

weight, indicated on the vehicle's

registration certificate, the manufacturer's

label as well as in the Technical data section of

this guide.

Complying with the maximum authorised

nose weight (towball) also includes the use of

accessories (bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).

Towing device

The end of charging is confirmed by the

Load distribution

accelerated charging unit (Wallbox) and by the

fixed lighting of the green light guides in the flap.

►ꢀ After disconnection, replace the nozzle on the

charging unit and close the charging flap.

►ꢀ Distribute the load in the trailer so that

the heaviest items are as close as possible to

the axle, and the nose weight approaches the

maximum permitted without exceeding it.

Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing

engine performance. The maximum load which

can be towed must be reduced by 10% per

1,000 metres of altitude.

Deferred charging

By default, charging begins when the nozzle

is connected. Deferred charging can be

programmed.

Observe the legislation in force in the

country where you are driving.
