2011 Citroen DS3 warning light

165Driving

Manual operation


D
disappears and the gears engaged
appear in succession on the
instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or
too high, the gear selected flashes for a few
seconds, then the actual gear engaged is
displayed.
It is possible to change from position D

(automatic) to position M
(manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1

automatically.
The spor t and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.

Invalid value during manual
operation

)
Select position M
for sequential
changing
of the four gears.

)
Push the lever towards the +
sign to
change up a gear.

)
Pull the lever towards the -
sign to change
down a gear.
It is only possible to change from one gear to
another if the vehicle speed and engine speed
permit; other wise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode. This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).



Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you can engage
position P
or N
to place the gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle. When the ignition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, indicates a gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P

to R
and from N
to R
. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.

Operating fault

If the lever is not in position P
,
when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off, a message
appears in the multifunction screen.


)
Return the lever to position P
; the
message disappears.
There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:


- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,

- if you force the movement of the
gear lever from the P
position to
another position when the battery
is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the engine
running (traffic jam...), put the gear lever in
the N
position and apply the parking brake.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc...). The engine
restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as offering the comfort of silence when
stationary.

Operation


Going into engine STOP mode

For your comfort when parking, STOP
mode is not available for a few seconds
after coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key. The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:


- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear
lever into neutral, and you release the
clutch pedal,
A time counter calculates the sum
of the periods in STOP mode
during a journey. It rests itself
to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key. STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine star t using
the key,

- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfor table temperature in the passenger
compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.


Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
The "ECO"
warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds, then goes off.

This operation is per fectly normal.

The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.



Cooling

Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.


)
To lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

Braking

Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.


Ty r e s



)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.



Lighting



)
Check the electrical lighting and signalling
on the trailer.


)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.



RACING towbar

Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
towbar. The space occupied by the
spor t diffuser prevents this.

The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount.
Warning: towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for
each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load.
