2011 Citroen DS4 display

Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection

System which automatically and continuously
checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning
in the event of problem (speed above 12 mph
(20 km/h)).

Puncture

The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.


Under-infl ated tyre

This warning lamp is displayed on the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal, to identify the
wheel concerned. The STOP
warning lamp comes on
and/or this warning lamp is displayed on
the instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the
screen identifying the wheel concerned.


)
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, avoiding
any sudden movement of the steering
wheel and the brakes.

)
Repair or change the damaged wheel
(punctured or very deflated tyre), and have
the tyre pressure checked as soon as
possible.


)
Check the tyre pressures as soon as
possible.
This check must be carried out when the tyres
are cold.

Safety

Sensor(s) not detected or faulty

A message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal, to identify
the wheel or wheels which are not detected or
to indicate a malfunction in the system.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to replace the faulty sensor(s). All repairs and changing of tyres on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres),
you must have the system reinitialised
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. This system does not avoid the need
to have the tyre pressures checked
regularly (refer to the "Identification
markings" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic per formance
of the vehicle is maintained and
prevent premature wear of the
tyres, par ticularly in arduous driving
conditions (heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Remember
to check the pressure of the spare
wheel.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system may experience temporary
inter ference due to electro-magnetic
emissions on a frequency close to that
used by the system.
This message is also displayed when
one of the wheels is away from the
vehicle (being repaired) or when one
or more wheels without a sensor are
fitted.
If your vehicle is equipped with a spare
wheel, this is not fitted with a sensor.

Deactivation

Only the passenger's front airbag can be
deactivated:


)
with the ignition off
, inser t the key in the
passenger airbag deactivation switch,

According to version, this warning
lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and/or in the seat belt and
passenger's front airbag warning lamps display
when the ignition is on and until the airbag is
reactivated. To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag must
be deactivated when you install a
"rear facing" child seat on the front
passenger seat.
Other wise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.


Reactivation

When you remove the child seat, turn the
switch to the "ON"
position to reactivate the
airbag and so assure the safety of your front
passenger in the event of an impact.

With the ignition on, this warning
lamp comes on in the seat belt and
passenger's front airbag warning
lamps display for approximately one
minute, if the passenger's front airbag
is activated.


Operating fault

If this warning lamp flashes in the
instrument panel and/or in the
seat belt and passenger's front
airbag warning lamps display, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. The
passenger's front airbag may no longer be
deployed in the event of a serious impact.
If even one of the two airbag warning
lamps comes on continuously, do not
install a child seat on the front passenger
seat.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible warning and a message
in the screen, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the system checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact.

Electric parking brake


The electric parking brake combines
2 operational modes:


- Automatic Application/Release

Application is automatic when the engine
stops, release is automatic on use of the
accelerator (activated by default),

- Manual Application/Release

The parking brake can be applied/released
manually by pulling control lever A
.
Do not place any object (packet of
cigarettes, telephone...) between the
gear lever and the electric parking
brake control lever.
It is recommended that you do not
apply the parking brake in very cold
conditions (ice) and during towing
(breakdown, caravan...). Deactivate the
automatic functions and release the
parking brake manually.

If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, the automatic
mode is deactivated.

Programming the mode

Depending on the country of sale of the vehicle,
the automatic application when the engine is
switched off and the automatic release when
you press the accelerator can be deactivated.
Activation/deactivation is done
using the vehicle configuration
menu; refer to the section covering
the configuration of your vehicle's
systems.
The parking brake is then applied and released
manually. When the driver's door is opened,
there is an audible signal and a message is
displayed if the brake is not applied.

193Driving
With the ignition on or the engine running, to
release the parking brake, press
on the brake

pedal
or the accelerator, pull then release

control A
.


Manual release


Before leaving the vehicle, ensure
that parking brake warning lamp in
the instrument panel is on fixed, not
flashing.



Manual application

With the vehicle stationary, to apply the parking
brake whether the engine is running or off, pull

control lever A
.
The application of the parking brake is
confirmed by:


- illumination of the braking warning
lamp and of the P
warning lamp in
the control lever A
,

- display of the message
"Handbrake on".
When the driver’s door is opened with the
engine running, a message is displayed
accompanied by an audible signal if the parking
brake has not been applied, except in the case
of an automatic gearbox with the gear lever in
position P
. The full application of the parking brake is
confirmed by:


- the braking warning lamp and
the P
warning lamp in the control
lever A
going off,

- display of the message
"Handbrake off".

If you pull control lever A
without pressing
the brake pedal, the parking brake will
not be released and a warning lamp will
come on in the instrument panel.


Maximum application

If necessary, you can make a maximum
application
of the parking brake. This is
obtained by means of a long pull
on the control
lever A
, until you see the message "Handbrake
on maximum" and a beep is heard.

Maximum application is essential:



- in the case of a vehicle towing a caravan
or a trailer, if the automatic functions are
activated but you are applying the parking
brake manually,

- when the gradient you are parked on may
vary (e.g. on a ferry, on a lorry, during
towing),

In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle
or parking on a gradient, make a
maximum application of the parking
brake then turn the front wheels
towards the pavement and engage a
gear when you park.
After a maximum application, the
release time will be longer.

With the vehicle stationary, the parking brake
is automatically applied when the engine is
switched off.



Automatic application,
engine off

In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle
or parking on a gradient, turn the front
wheels towards the pavement and
engage a gear when you park.

Before leaving the vehicle, ensure
that parking brake warning lamp in
the instrument panel is on fixed (not
flashing).
Never leave a child alone inside the
vehicle with the ignition on, as they
could release the parking brake.
