PROXIMITY KEYLESS ENTRY & START is the extremely accurate technology, available on DS 3 CROSSBACK, which allows your car to give you a warm welcome before you begin your journey.

As you approach, at a distance of 3m, DS 3 CROSSBACK detects your key, unfolds the door mirrors and illuminates the headlights in anticipation. Closer, at 1.5m, the flush door handles deploy to reveal themselves, unlocking the car automatically.

When leaving the car, the door handles retract once more, accompanied by an audible confirmation that DS 3 CROSSBACK is locked.

A real everyday assistant, DS SMART ACCESS lets you start your DS 3 CROSSBACK using the MyDS App. Plan ahead to grant permission for entry to the interior or boot, and enable as many as five of those closest to you to use the vehicle as and when you like.

DS DRIVE ASSIST is a step closer to autonomous driving, making long journeys easier by combining several different driving aids. Active Cruise Control maintains your speed, as well as a safe distance to the car in front, while also positioning DS 3 CROSSBACK in the centre of its lane.

When the traffic slows, this technology can even bring the car to a complete stop and set off again as the traffic moves. By bringing all of these technologies together, DS DRIVE ASSIST takes the stress out of motorway driving.

Thanks to DS PARK PILOT, your car will park itself without any input from you on the steering wheel or pedals.

DS 3 CROSSBACK can identify a suitable parking space by driving past. To park, simply keep the button pressed and wait for DS 3 CROSSBACK to do the rest. It then carries out the manoeuvre either parallel to the kerb or in an angled parking bay.

DS PARK PILOT available from 2019

With the latest generation DS MATRIX LED VISION headlights, DS 3 CROSSBACK adjusts lighting automatically, switching from full beam to dipped headlights automatically without ever dazzling other drivers. This intelligent lighting technology recognises road and traffic conditions using a camera mounted in the windscreen, and adapts automatically. 

Make driving easier with EXTENDED TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION technology. This system reads permanent and temporary speed limit signs then reproduces them in your display, immediately alerting you if you exceed the limit. You can also change the setting of the cruise control/speed limiter to adapt your speed to the prescribed limit.
