2012 Citroen DS4 ECO mode

The system is reactivated automaticallyat every new star t using the key.
Reactivation

This system requires a specific battery with aspecial specification and technology (reference numbers available from a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of the system. In the event of a malfunction with the s
ystem,
the "ECO OFF"switch warning lamp flashes,
then comes on continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.


Operating fault
Maintenance

Before doing anything under the bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of STA R T mode.

The Stop & Star t system makes use of advanced technology. All work on this type of battery must be done only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifiedworkshop. Pr
ess the "ECO OFF"switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and the
display of a message.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, thevehicle may stall. All of the instrumentpanel warning lamps come on.Depending on version, an alert message may also be displayed askingyou to put the gear lever into position Nand put your foot on the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition, then restart the engine using the key.

again.



Exceeding the programmed speed

Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed will not have
any effect unless you press the pedal firmlypast the ypoint of resistance .
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed,
which is still displayed, flashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional
deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the programmed speed.
On a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmedspeed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,

- do not fit one mat on top of another.



Exiting the speed limiter mode
)
Turn dial 1to the "0"
position: the speed
limiter mode is deselected. It disappears
from the screen.


Operating fault

Operation
The cruise control is switched on
manually: itrequires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph(40 km/h) and engagement of:
- fourth gear on the manual gearbox,
- second gear on the electronic gearbox
system or automatic gearbox, in sequential
drivin
g mode,
- position A
on the electronic gearbox
system or D on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched offmanuallyfor by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or
on triggering of the ESP system for safety reasons. It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the pro
grammed speed, simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.

ge the programmed speed using buttons 2
and 3
:


- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = shor t press,

- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
If storing speeds is available and activated on your vehicle, the programmed speed will stop at the closest stored speed; refer to thecorresponding section. )Stop the cruise control system by pressing button 4
: this is confirmed in the screen (Pause).
)Switch on the cruise control again with another press on button 4 .




Exceeding the programmed speed

Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed speed results in
flashing of this speed in the screen.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional
deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the speed.


Exiting cruise control mode
)Turn dial 1to the "0"
position: the cruise control mode is deselected.
