Presentation of the Hybrid4 system
Thank you for choosing a DS5 Hybrid4; this
vehicle has characteristics that are different from conventional vehicles.
Study this handbook to learn about the specific hybrid functions and for more information, refer
to the "Hybrid System" section.

The Hybrid4 technology allows two sources of energy to be associated in an effective manner:
the Diesel HDi engine, which drives the front
wheels and the electric motor, which drives the
rear wheels.
These two motors can operate alternately or simultaneously, according to the hybrid modeselected and the driving conditions.
The electric motor alone provides power for
the vehicle in "ZEV"
(Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode, and in "Auto" mode for running at slowspeed and low load. It also assists the Dieselengine when moving off, accelerating and changing gear.
The battery that powers the electric motor is recharged during phases of deceleration andstores the energy for subsequent use.

Starting the Hybrid4 system
Driving safely
- Place the gear lever in position N .
- Inser t the electronic key in the reader or keep the electronic key inside the vehicle.
- Press the brake pedal firmly.
- Press the STA R T/STOPbutton.
31
- The instrument panel and the Ready
lamplight up.
- The dial in the centre console is in AUTO
mode.
Move off
- While maintaining pressure on the brake pedal, move the gear lever to position A
to go forwards or Rfor reverse.
- Ta k e your foot off the brake pedal, you canmove off.

Main parts of the Hybrid4 system
The HDi Diesel engine - 1
, located at the front, drives the front wheels and provides most of the power needed to drive the vehicle.
It is fitted with the Stop & Start
system - 5
which recharges the batteries and provides additional power when needed (in 4x4 mode).
Th
e electric motor - 2
, located at the rear, drives the rear wheels on its own, or supplements the Diesel engine, according to the hybrid mode selected.
It recovers energy and charges the batteries during phases of deceleration of the vehicle and is
active up to 70 mph (120 km/h).
A 200 V NI-MH high voltage battery - 3
, provides a source of energy for the rear electric motor.
Its charging rate is managed automatically by the vehicle during phases of deceleration.
It is located in a compar tment in the boot, access to which is restricted to trained ser vice
t
echnicians.
The batter
y state of chargeis indicated by 8 horizontal or vertical bars (depending on the screen).
Th
e conventional battery, located under the bonnet, powers the vehicle's 12 V systems. It is yrecharged automatically by the high voltage network.

The electronic power super visor - 4automatically manages the operation of the two power units(Diesel and electric) to provide the lowest consumption.
An inver ter and a transformer are needed to manage the electric power.
The inver ter acts on the torque of the electric motor, by regulating the current coming from the high
voltage battery pack. Its operating range is between 150 and 270 volts.
The transformer conver ts the 200 V of the battery pack to 12 V, to power the vehicle's ancillarysystems.
Th
e Stop & Start system - 5
allows the Diesel engine to be put into standby during stops (traffic
lights, a stop, or in a traffic jam, for example) or during phases of running in all-electric mode.
The stopping and restar ting of the Diesel engine is done in a way that is instantaneous and
transparent for the driver.
Th
e electronicgearbox - 6provides, in automatic mode, significant savings in fuel consumption compared to a conventional manual gearbox, thanks to its electronic control system.
It also offers improved driving pleasure with the possibility at any time of choosing the gear changing mode: automatic or manual, using the paddles located behind the steering wheel.

Hybrid system
Starting your vehicle
- Ensure that the gear lever is in position N.
- Inser t the electronic key in the reader or, if fitted with Keyless Entry and Star ting, keep the electronic key in the vehicle.
- Press firmly on the brake pedal, then press the START/STOP switch to star t up the hybrid system.
-
The instrument panel and the Readylamp light up. The power graduation is displayedprogressively, indicating that the hybrid system is active, confirmed by a message "hybrid
system active"
; the dial in the centre console is in AUTOmode (default mode for starting).
- The hybrid system determines whether it is necessary to star t the Diesel engine.
- With the brake still applied, move the
gear lever to position Ato go for wards or R
(by lifting the
lever slightly) for reverse.
- Lift your foot off the brake pedal, you can move off.
- The parking brake is released automatically as you move off, if configured to do so (otherwise, release the parking brake manually).

Stopping your vehicle and the hybrid system
When your vehicle vehicle moves off in electric mode,it makes no noise. Be verycareful of pedestrians as they will not hear you coming.
- Apply the brake until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
- Place the gear lever in position N.- Place the electronic key inside the vehicle, then press the START/STOPswitch; the parking
brake is applied automatically if configured to do so.
- Otherwise apply the parking brake manually, the P
warning lamp must be on.
When stationary, switch off the ignition and check that the Readylamp is off beforeleaving the vehicle. Otherwise the hybrid system will still be active. See the section on"Underbonnet precautions/warnings".

Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which hasa secret code. When the ignition is switchedon, this code must be recognised in order for
star ting to be possible.
This electronic en
gine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes after the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed by a message in the instrument panel screen.In this case, your vehicle does not start; contacta CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
Ignition on without starting
the engine
(accessory position)
With the electronic key in the reader or the
Keyless Entry and Star ting key inside the
vehicle, pressing the "START/STOP" button,
with no action on the pedals, allows the ignition
to be switched on and so activate the ancillary equipment.
)
Press the "START/STOP" button,
the instrument panel comes on but the engine does not star t. ) Press the button again to switch
off the ignition and so allow the
vehicle to be locked.
Using the ancillaries for a long period introduces the risk of a flat battery.
