DS Automobiles is a French premium brand, spun off from Citroen in 2014. DS positions itself as the group's premium arm and a French rival to Audi and BMW. The DS range comprises premium crossovers and saloons. DPF/SCR with AdBlue (BlueHDi) is standard on Euro-6 Citroen diesels.

The Citroen community in France and Western Europe has a large pool of Stage files. ECUs are standardised across Stellantis, so Citroen files often work on Peugeot/Opel/DS. Low-output Citroen engines are city units, and Stage 1 is safe. On naturally aspirated Citroen engines, the main effect is on throttle response.
