Displays in the instrument
panel
When the ignition is switched on, the status of
the gearbox is displayed in the instrument panel:
P: park.
R: reverse.
N: neutral.
D1 to D8: automatic forward gear.
B1 to B8: automatic forward gear with
regenerative braking function activated.
In all-electric driving, the gear engaged is not
indicated.
The state of the gearbox remains displayed in
the instrument panel for a few seconds after
switching off the ignition.
Regenerative braking (Brake
function)
The regenerative braking function emulates
engine braking, slowing the vehicle with no need
to depress the brake pedal. When the driver
releases the accelerator pedal, the vehicle slows
down more quickly.
The energy recovered when the accelerator
pedal is released is used to partially recharge the
traction battery.
This partial recharging has no effect on
the charge level indicator.
The resulting deceleration of the vehicle
does not cause the brake lamps to come
on.
► From mode D/B, move the push selector
backwards to activate/deactivate the function.
D on the instrument panel is replaced with B.
The state of the function is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
In some situations (e.g.battery full,
extreme temperatures), the amount of
regenerative braking may be temporarily
limited, resulting in less deceleration.
The driver must remain alert to traffic
conditions and must always be ready to use
the brake pedal.
Regenerative braking using the brake
pedal
Energy recovery can also be produced by
depressing the brake pedal in order to partially
recharge the traction battery, without
affecting the charge level indicator.
DS ACTIVE SCAN
SUSPENSION
This system adapts the vehicle suspension
according to the road condition and profile, the
