DS Mode (Sport Mode) in your car allows for an aggressive shift pattern and makes the vehicle feel quicker, making driving more fun while optimizing performance. Driving in this mode may increase fuel consumption so it should only be used during short bursts of speed or for spirited driving.
Musicians use "ds," an Italian term meaning "from the sign," to refer to repeats that begin at an S-shaped symbol on sheet music, often marked by double bars or pause markings. Fine indicates when these repeats have concluded.
The name DS has been linked with various theories, but the most likely theory suggests it is an allusion to Citroen's most iconic vehicle - the DS was first mass-produced four-door hatchback to use rear wheel drive, ushering in an era of premium French cars which rivalled Audi, BMW and Mercedes in terms of performance and luxury.
Though not able to crack into the executive market dominated by German manufacturers, the DS has gained an enthusiastic following from consumers who appreciate its emphasis on upmarket fashion and lifestyle. For example, its Privilege service grants owners access to high-end dining, private shows, and more - not to mention interior features such as hand-stitched leather upholstery and unique design elements that bring luxury into its vehicles.
