DRIVER ASSISTANCE TECHNOLOGY

The Extended Head Up Display marks an immersive visual experience likened to augmented reality. Projected through the windscreen on a 21” diagonal image 4 metres ahead, digital information appears to be on the road so you never have to take your eyes off it.

With DS PARK PILOT, parking becomes remarkably easyavailable as an optional extra on DS 9..

 

This intelligent system can detect a parking space big enough for your DS car simply by driving past at up to 30km/h. With this park assistance technology the car parks on its own, in bays or parallel, without the driver touching the steering wheel or pedals.

The Advanced Traction Control system adapts the traction of the front wheels and, thanks to its three driving modes, allows you to drive safely on difficult terrain such as snow, sand or mud. In addition, Hill Assistant Descent Control reduces the risk of skidding or losing control on slopes of over 5%

For extra reassurance, this system detects vehicles in your side blind spots when you’re driving, whatever their approach speed. With a range up to 75 metres, it warns you of hazards with a flashing LED in the mirror on the relevant side. When you manoeuvre in reverse gear, you are alerted to moving obstacles up to 40m away in your rear blind spot.

DS DRIVE ASSIST 2.0 broadens the experience of autonomous driving by including semi-automatic lane changing, overtaking and anticipated speed recommendation according to sign posts.

We’ve come up with DS DRIVE ASSIST to help you while enabling you to retake control of your car at any time. DS DRIVE ASSIST controls the speed and distance relative to the vehicle in front and positions your DS precisely in its lane, depending on where you want, by moving the steering. It controls speed and direction, guaranteeing your safety and peace of mind at the wheel.

An infrared camera positioned in your DS’s grille spots pedestrians and animals up to 200 metres ahead and displays them in the digital instrument panel so that you can see danger and react safely. A real step forward in safety that guarantees more relaxed driving, even in the middle of the night.

Thanks to a main LED headlamp and three rotating modules, DS ACTIVE LED VISION technology manages several lighting modes, specific to each driving situation. The modules act simultaneously to adapt the angle, intensity and range of the light beam in real time, depending on driving conditions (weather, light). Depending on whether you are driving in the city, in the countryside or on the motorway, the lighting will adapt to guarantee high-definition visibility.

DS IRIS SYSTEM is our new information ecosystem that’s intuitive, ergonomic and can be completely personalised. It includes a personal assistant with a touch screen and voice recognition. DS IRIS SYSTEM does what you want, when you want.

Day and night, a system of sensors and a camera monitor signs of fatigue or distraction in the driver as well as the course of the car. In the event of a lack of attention or sleepiness, an audible alert is triggered in the cockpit and shown on the digital instrument display.

There for your safety, the intelligent DS PIXEL LED VISION 3.0 headlights adapt to your surroundings by adjusting the lighting according to outside conditions (town, country, weather etc…) and directing light towards bends to improve visibility in corners.

With its PIXEL function you can stay on main beam without dazzling the vehicle you’re behind or those approaching you.
