DS 3: Lighting and visibility / Direction indicators
DS 3 2016-2026 Owners Manual

- Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control
stalk, beyond the point of resistance.
If
you keep the direction indicators on for
more than 20 seconds, the volume of the
audible signal will increase if the speed is
above 50 mph (80 km/h).
Three flashes
- Press briefly upwards or downwards, without
going beyond the point of resistance; the direction
indicators will flash 3 times.
Parking lamps
(Depending on version)
Vehicle side marking by lighting the sidelamps on
the traffic side only.
- Within one minute after switching off the
ignition, operate the lighting control stalk
upwards or downwards, depending on the side of
the traffic (e.g. when parking on the right, push
the lighting control stalk down to light up on the
left).
This is confirmed by an audible signal and the
lighting of the corresponding direction indicator
lamp on the instrument panel.
- To switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to the central position.
The front and rear lamps light up automatically
when the engine starts.
They provide the following functions:
Daytime running lamps (lighting control stalk in
the "AUTO" position with adequate light level)...
With the lighting control stalk in the “AUTO”
position and if a low level of exterior brightness
is detected by the rain/sunshine sensor, the sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps
are
switched on automatically, without any action on
the part of the driver...
Other information:
The level is checked, with the
engine
having been switched off for at least 30
minutes and on level ground, using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two
services (or oil changes). It is recommended that
you check the level, and top up if necessary, every
3,000 miles (5,000 km)...
Depending on country of sale.
This function heats the windscreen and washer
jets under cold conditions.
Without changing the settings for the air
conditioning system, it allows faster release
of the windscreen wiper blades when they
are frozen to the windscreen and helps avoid
the accumulation of snow resulting from the
operation of the windscreen wipers...
