DS NIGHT VISION

An infrared camera positioned in DS 4’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.

DS AIR

Fully built into the dashboard, DS AIR invisible airvent is a unique ventilation system that’s both subtle and efficient. With its compact design, it gives flow and purity to the dashboard design.

DS ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION

Helped by a camera located at the top of the windscreen, four attitude sensors and three accelerometers, DS ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION acts instantly on each of the wheels independently, to make the suspension firmer or softer depending on road conditions.

DS IRIS SYSTEM

DS IRIS SYSTEM is our new intuitive, ergonomic information ecosystem that can be completely personalised. It combines a personal assistant that uses a touch interface as well as understanding what you say so the system does what you want, when you want.

Perfectly situated close to your hand, this touchscreen follows your movements and recognises gestures such as zooming in, zooming out and even handwriting.

DS EXTENDED HEAD UP DISPLAY

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.

DS MATRIX LED VISION

DS 4's hypnotic DS MATRIX LED VISION projector headlamps coupled with its daytime running lights, real blades of light made up of 98 LEDs, give an eye-catching and penetrating look, that’s as captivating as it is interesting.

PROXIMITY KEYLESS ENTRY & START

DS 4 automatically unlocks when you get to within 2 metres and the door handles, hidden until then, appear. You can then start your car easily with the Start/Stop button. When you leave the car, it's the same principle. The door handles retract and the car locks automatically.

REAR TRAFFIC DETECTION PACK

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.

ADVANCED TRACTION CONTROL

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%.

DS DRIVE ASSIST 2.0

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 DS 4 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.

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