2012.5 Citroen DS5 RHD fuel

Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; placethe heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,as close as possible to the rear seats.Limit the loads carried in the vehicle andreduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.


Observe the recommendations
on maintenance


Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aper ture, driver's side. Carry out this check in par ticular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres onany trailer or caravan.


Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve the schedule of operations recommended by themanufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the 3rd
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is onlyafter the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to a consistent average.

If dashes are displayed continuouslywhile driving in place of the digits, contact a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.

This value may vary following a changein the style of driving or the relief,resulting in a significant change in thecurrent fuel consumption.
Trip computer, a few definitions…


Range
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled with
the fuel remaining in the tank
in relation to the average fuelconsumption over the last few
miles (kilometres) travelled.
When the ran
ge falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (10 0 km).
This function is only displayed from 20 mph (30 km/h).


Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consumption
during the last few seconds.
Average fuelconsumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consumption since the last tripcomputer zero reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed calculated
since the last trip computer zero reset (ignition on).
Stop & Start timecounter
(minutes / seconds or hours /
minutes)
I
f your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Star t, a time counter calculates the time spent in STOP
mode during a journey. It resets to zero every time the ignition is switched on with the STA R T/STOP button.

Fuel tank Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres.

Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of
air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results from the sealing of the fuel system.) Take care to select the pump that delivers
the correct fuel type for your vehicle'sengine (reminder on a label on the inside of
the filler flap).) Open the filler cap by turning it a 1/4 turn to
the left. ) Remove the filler cap and hang it on itscarrier (on the filler flap).
Opening
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have have the tank drained and refilled with the correct fuel before you star t theengine.
With Stop & Star t, never refuel with the system in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the START/STOP button.


Refuelling
)Introduce the nozzle and push it in fully(pushing open the non-return valve A
onpetrol vehicles). )Fill the tank (don't continue past the thirdcut-off of the nozzle, as this may causemalfunctions).)Refit the filler cap turning it a 1/4 turn to the right. )Push the filler flap to close it.

Your vehicle is
fitted with a catalytic converter
which reduces harmful emissions in theexhaust gas.
The filler neck is narrower and allows onlypetrol nozzles to be used.
For a petrol engine, the use of unleaded fueliscompulsory.
)Press the switch.
This switch remains active for a few minutesafter switching off the ignition. If necessary,switch the ignition on again to reactivate it.

69Access

Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the tank is reached, this warning lamp comes onin the instrument panel, accompanied
b
y an audible warning and a message in the instrument panel screen.
When it first comes on, around 6 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.


Fuel supply cut-off

Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts o
ff the fuel supply in the event of a collision.

It remains possible to use a fuel can to fill the tank.In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in direct contact with the flap of themisfuel prevention device and pour slowly.

















Misfuel prevention (Diesel) *
Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of
engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
When a
petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comesinto contact with the flap. The system remains closed and prevents filling. Do not persist but introduce a Diesel typefiller nozzle.
Operation


Tr a v e l l i ng abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different
in other countries, the presence of the misfuel
prevention device ma
y make refuellingimpossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend that
you check with the CITROËN dealer network,
whether
your vehicle is suitable for the fuel
pumps in the country in which you want to
travel.
