Removing a head restraint

►ꢀ Pull the head restraint fully up.

Correct driving position

Front head restraints

For safety reasons, adjustments must

only be made when the vehicle is

stationary.

►ꢀ Depending on equipment, press lug A or C to

release the head restraint and raise it fully.

►ꢀ Stow the head restraint securely.

Before taking to the road and to make the most

of the ergonomic layout of the instruments and

controls, carry out these adjustments in the

following order:

Refitting a head restraint

►ꢀ Insert the head restraint rods into the guides

in the corresponding seat backrest.

►ꢀ Push the head restraint fully down.

– head restraint height.

►ꢀ If the vehicle is so equipped, press lug Aor C to

release the head restraint and push it down.

►ꢀ Adjust the height of the head restraint.

– seat backrest angle.

Adjusting the height

Upwards:

– seat cushion height.

– longitudinal seat position.

– steering wheel height and reach.

– rear view mirror and door mirrors.

►ꢀ Pull the head restraint up to the desired

position; you can feel the head restraint clicking

into position.

Never drive with the head restraints

removed; they should be in place and

adjusted for the occupant of the seat.

Downwards:

►ꢀ Press lug A to lower the head restraint.

Front seats

The head restraint is correctly adjusted

when its upper edge is level with the top

of the occupant's head.

Adjustments

Before moving the seat backwards,

ensure that there is no person or object

that might prevent the full travel of the seat.

There is a risk of trapping or pinching

passengers if present in the rear seats or of

jamming the seat if large objects are placed on

the floor behind the seat.

Adjusting the angle

(Depending on equipment)

Forwards:

Once these adjustments have been made,

check that the instrument panel can be

viewed correctly from your driving position.

►ꢀ move the lower part of the head restraint

forwards.

Rearwards:

►ꢀ press and hold button B and push the lower

part of the head restraint rearwards.

Do not use the function when the seat is

not occupied.

The system is switched on, either directly using

the button on the front seat, or by activating a

personalised ambience with the DS SENSORIAL

DRIVE function.

Reduce the heating intensity as soon as

possible.

When the seat and passenger compartment

have reached a satisfactory temperature,

"Air Quality System" (AQS)

function

Using a pollution sensor, this function

automatically activates recirculation of the

interior air once a certain level of polluting

substances in the exterior air is detected.

When the air quality returns to a satisfactory

level, recirculation of interior air is automatically

deactivated.

Adjusting the temperature

The driver and front passenger can each choose

their own temperature setting.

The value indicated corresponds to a level of

comfort and not to a precise temperature.

►ꢀ Press one of the buttons 4 to increase (red) or

decrease (blue) the value.

Changing the setting does not reactivate AUTO

mode if it was deactivated.

This function is not designed to detect unpleasant

odours.

It is recommended that you avoid a difference of

more than 3°C in the settings for left and right.

Recirculation is automatically activated when the

windscreen wash is used or when reverse gear is

engaged.

In cold weather with the engine cold, the

air flow is increased gradually until the

comfort setting has been reached, in order to

limit the delivery of cold air into the passenger

compartment.

Automatic Comfort programme

This automatic mode ensures optimum

management of the passenger compartment

temperature, air flow and air distribution, based

on the selected comfort level.

The function does not operate if the exterior

temperature is below 5 °C, to avoid the risk of

misting of the windscreen and side windows.

To activate or deactivate the function, go to the

then press button 12.

On entering the vehicle, if the interior

temperature is much colder or warmer than

to alter the value displayed to more quickly

reach the required level of comfort. The system

automatically corrects the temperature

difference as quickly as possible.

The programme automatically manages the air

conditioning (depending on version), air flow and

air intake, and provides optimum distribution

towards the windscreen and side windows.

It is possible to manually change the air flow

without deactivating the automatic Visibility

programme.

The temperature is no longer regulated. A slight

flow of air can still be felt, due to the forward

movement of the vehicle.

Switch off demisting/defrosting when

you no longer need it; reducing electrical

consumption in turn decreases energy

consumption.

Interior air recirculation

The intake of exterior air prevents the formation

of mist on the windscreen and side windows.

Recirculating the interior air isolates the

passenger compartment from outside odours

and fumes and allows the desired passenger

compartment temperature to be achieved more

rapidly.

With Stop & Start, when demisting has

been activated, STOP mode is not

available.
