DS 3: Indicators / Charge level indicator (Electric)
DS 3 2016-2025 Owners Manual

The traction battery charge status and remaining
range are displayed continuously when the
vehicle is started.
With the ignition off,
opening the driver's
door activates the indicator.
Associated warning lamps
Two successive alert levels indicate that the
energy available has dropped to a low level:
1st level: Reserve
The state of charge of the
traction battery
is low.
Fixed, accompanied by an audible signal.
- View the remaining range on the instrument
panel.
- Put the vehicle on charge as soon as possible.
2nd level: Critical
The state of charge of the
traction battery
is critical.
Fixed, together with the reserve warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal.
- You must put the vehicle on charge.
The remaining range is no
longer
calculated. The drive train power
gradually decreases.
The heating and air conditioning are switched
off (even if the thermal comfort consumption
indicator is not at the "ECO" level).
CHARGE
Traction battery charging during deceleration and
braking.
ECO
Moderate energy consumption and optimised
driving range.
POWER
Energy consumption by the drive train during
acceleration...
(Depending on version)
The gauge shows the consumption of the traction
battery's electrical energy by the thermal comfort
devices in the passenger compartment...
Other information:
Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises
traction by using engine braking and by applying
the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one
or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the
vehicle's directional stability.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the
dynamic stability control system automatically
uses engine braking..
In AUTO mode, the windscreen wipers work
automatically and adapt to the intensity of the
rain.
The rainfall detection function uses a rain/
sunshine sensor located at the top centre of the
windscreen, behind the rear view mirror.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine
sensor.
When using an automatic car wash,
switch off the automatic wipers and the
ignition.
In winter, wait until the windscreen is..
