2011.5 Citroen DS5 HYBRID4 RHD traction control

Hybrid system

Sport mode
(Diesel and
electric)


4WD mode **

(Diesel and
electric)
This mode allows more dynamic driving byproviding additional performance.Vehicle acceleration and pick-up are
maximised by using the capacity of the electric
motor, supplementing the power of the Diesel
engine.
This mode manages the progressiveness of theaccelerator, the electronic gearbox and the use of the electric motor.
In Sport mode:
- The electric motor can be used up to 70 mph (120 km/h).


This mode provides additional traction
***
at
low speed by driving all 4 wheels of the vehicle continuously: the Diesel engine (front wheel
drive) and the electric motor (rear wheel drive)operate simultaneously and permanently.
Their coupling is managed electronically tooptimise traction on slippery sur faces.
In 4WD mode:


- Power for the electric motor is provided,
i
f needed, by the alternator-star ter motor
of the front engine. The Diesel engine
operates continuously.

- The additional traction from the electricmotor is available up to 70 mph (120 km/h). In ZEV m
ode:


- the accelerator control is progressive.

- Range and acceleration capacity are
limited. The maximum speed possible is
around 36 mph (60 km/h).

- Under high load or a priority requirement causing the star t of the Diesel engine, the
system changes automatically to AUTO mode.I
f the conditions do not allow this mode, a message that the ZEV mode is not available appears in
the screen, the ZEV warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds then goes off and theselector comes on in AUTO.
This mode should be used on snowcovered roads or difficult ground (mud, sand, ...).
For more information on "Automatic
restarting of the Diesel engine", refer to the corresponding section.

**

4WD: 4 Wheel Drive.
***

This mode will be even more effective if suitable tyres are fitted (winter tyres inparticular).

59Monitoring
Deactivation indicator lamps
If one of the following indicator lamps comes on, this confirms that the corresponding system has been switched off intentionally.This is may be accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen.

Warning/indicator lampStateCauseAction/Observations




Passenger's airbag system fixed in the instrumentpanel and/or seat belt
and front passenger's
airbag warning lamps
display.
The control switch, located in the
glove box, is set to the OFF
position.
The passenger's front airbag is deactivated.
Set the control to the "ON"position to activate the passenger's front airbag.
In this case, do not fit a child seat in the rear-facing position.



DSC/ASR

fixed. The button, located at the bottom
right of the dashboard, is pressed. Itsindicator lamp is on.
The DSC/ASR is deactivated.
DSC: dynamic stability control.
ASR: anti-slip regulation, or traction control. Press the button to activate the D
SC/ASR. Its indicator
lamp switches off.
The DSC/ASR system is activated automatically when
the vehicle is started.
If it has been deactivated, the system is reactivated
automatically from approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).

fixed. The emission control system has afault. The warning lamp should go off when the engine is started. If it does not go off, contact a CITROËN dealer or
qualified workshop without delay.



Low fuel levelfixed with the two last
bars flashing.When it first comes on there remainsapproximately 6 litres offfuelin thetank.You must re
fuel as soon as possible to avoid runningout of fuel.This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition
is switched on, until a sufficient addition of fuel is made.
Fuel tank capacit
y: approximately 60 litres.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel as
this could damage the emission control and injectionsystems.



Anti-lock
Braking System(ABS)
fixed. The anti-lock braking system has a
f
ault. The vehicle retains conventional brakin

Drive carefull
y at reduced speed and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without
delay.

181Safety
Electronic Stability Programme incorporating
the following systems:


- the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),

- the emergency braking assistance,

- the anti-slip regulation (ASR) or tractioncontrol,

- the dynamic stability control (DSC).






























Electronic stability programme (ESP)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and provides improved control in corners, in par ticular on poor or slippery road surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking pressure more quickly and therefore reduce the stopping distance. It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in the effectiveness of the braking.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)

The ASR system (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction in order to avoid
wheel slip b
y acting on the brakes of the drivingwheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle onacceleration.


Dynamic stability control (DSC)

If there is a difference between the path followed by the vehicle and that required bythe driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws of physics.

Intelligent traction control
s
ystem ("Snow motion")
Your vehicle has a system to help driving onsnow: intelligent traction control.This system detects situations of difficult surface adhesion that could make it difficult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow
or compacted snow.In these situations, the intelligent traction control
limits the amount of wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.

Operation


Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution
(EBFD)
In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasing the pressure.

When changing wheels (tyres and rims),make sure that these are approved for your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal. When this warnin
g lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the ABS, which
could cause loss of control of the vehicle whenbraking.
When this warnin
g lamp comes on, coupled with the STOPwarning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that
th
ere is a fault with the electronic brake forcedistribution (EBFD), which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so. In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.


The use of snow tyres is stronglyrecommended on sur faces offering low
levels of adhesion.
