DS 3: DS MATRIX LED VISION / Malfunction

DS 3 2016-2025 Owners Manual

DS 3. Malfunction If a malfunction occurs with the adaptive headlamp lighting or the camera, this warning lamp is displayed on the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal and a message.

Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified workshop.

DS 3. Malfunction Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor located at the top centre of the windscreen behind the interior rear view mirror; the associated functions would no longer be controlled.

DS 3. Malfunction The system may be disrupted or not work correctly:

  • Under conditions of poor visibility (e.g. falling snow, heavy rain).
  • if the windscreen is dirty, misted or obscured (e.g. by a sticker) in front of the camera.
  • If the vehicle is facing certain signs or reflective safety barrier systems.

It is recommended that you deactivate the function in foggy or snowy conditions or in case of heavy mist.

The function temporarily is deactivated when the system detects thick fog or when the foglamps are switched on manually. This is signalled by the indicator lamp going off on the instrument panel.

The system is not able to detect:

  • Road users that do not have their own lighting, such as pedestrians.
  • Vehicles whose lighting is obscured (e.g. vehicles driving behind a safety barrier on a motorway).
  • Vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.

DS 3. Malfunction Clean the windscreen regularly, particularly the area in front of the camera.

Do not allow snow to accumulate on the bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could obstruct the camera.

DS 3. Malfunction Travelling abroad

If planning to use your vehicle in a country that drives on the other side of the road, deactivate the function to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers.
