2012 Citroen DS5 HYBRID4 ECO mode

Consumption of your hybrid in the screen

Average consumption over the last 5 minutes.
"60 % H
ybrid Use" corresponds to 60 % of the cumulative running time of the electric motor in the various Modes (Auto, ZEV, Sport or 4WD) and 40 % of the time with the Diesel engine only (with no contribution from the hybrid system).


For more information on the trip computer, refer tothe corresponding section.
Resetting the history

With the hybrid system active, when trip 2 displayed, press
the control for 2 seconds to reset the history to zero.

200 V high voltage battery


The 200 V high voltage battery cannot be
recharged from a mains supply.
The battery is Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride)
and is located below the boot floor, close to the electric motor.
Charging
The battery is charged when the vehicle
decelerates, the electric motor then becomes
a generator and conver ts kinetic energy into
electrical energy (except if the speed of the
vehicle is above 70 mph (120 km/h)).
The battery is not recharged from a mains
supply.
The battery may also be charged automatically
when required by the Stop & Start system of
the Diesel engine.
This recover
y allows the use of "free" energy.
The battery charging time is very short and iscontinuous.
A discharged battery (following ZEV running or
high load, for example) will quickly return to astate of charge sufficient for full operation of the
different hybrid modes.
Thecharging takes place automatically
when driving. The energy recovery can be faster during deceleration.
The average state of charge is 4 to 5 bars, so
preserving a margin for energy recovery when
deceleration of going downhill (free energy).
To preser ve the ser vice life of thebattery, the level of charge never falls below 20 %, even if a level of 0 bars is displayed after ZEV running. Where the battery is close to maximum, vehicle deceleration with your foot off the accelerator pedal will be at a lower level.

Monitoring
Indicator and warning lamps
When the engine is star ted, these same warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the information on the warning lamp concerned.
Associated warnings
The switching on of cer tain warning lamps may
be accompanied by an audible signal and a
messa
ge in the instrument panel screen.
The warning lamps may come on continuously (fixed) or flash.

Certain warning lamps may come on inone of two modes: fixed (continuous) or flashing.
Only by relating the type of illumination to the operation of the vehicle can itbe determined whether the situation is normal or a fault has occurred.
Refer to the tables on the following pages for more information. Visual indicators in
forming the driver thata system is in operation, switched off or hasa fault.

When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds in the instrument panel and/or
instrument panel screen when the vehicle's
ignition is switched on.

Activation

When the lighting is on:
)press the button to change the brightness
of the instruments and controls,)when the level of brightness required isreached, release the button.

Deactivation

When the lighting is off, or in day mode on
vehicles fitted with daytime running lamps,pressing the button does not have any effect.

System which measures the total distance
travelled by the vehicle during its life.
The total and trip distances are displayed for
thir ty seconds when the ignition is switched off,
when the driver's door is opened and when the
vehicle is locked or unlocked.
Total distance recorder
System which measures a distance travelledduring a day or other period since it was reset
to zero by the driver. ) With the ignition on, press the button until
zeros appear.

79Access
Deadlocking
Deadlocking renders the exterior and
interior door controls inoperative. It also deactivates the manual centralcontrol button. Therefore, never leave anyone inside the vehicle when it is deadlocked.
Using the remote control
) Press the closed padlock to lock
the vehicle completely.
Maintain pressure with
your
finger for more than twoseconds to close the windows.) Press the closed padlock again within
five seconds to deadlock the vehicle.

With the electronic ke
y in the reader or the
Keyless Entry and Starting key inside the
vehicle, pressin
g the "STA R T/STOP" button,
with no action on the pedals, allows the ignition
to be switched on and so activate the ancillary
equipment.
Ignition on without starting
the engine
(accessory position)
)
Press the "STA R T/STOP" button,
the instrument panel comes on
but the engine does not star t.) Press the button again to switch
off the ignition and so allow the
vehicle to be locked.

If you use the accessory position for too long, the system automatically goes intoeconomy mode to avoid the risk of a flat
battery.


With the Keyless Entry and
startin
g system
By the doors: )
With the electronic key in the defined
zone A , press a finger on the door handle (at the markings) to lock the vehicle.
)
Within five seconds, press the door handle
again to deadlock the vehicle.
Ensure that no one is preventing the correct closing of the windows. Be aware of children when operating
the windows.

Safety anti-pinch
In automatic mode and at the end of its travel,
if the blind meets an obstacle while closing it stops and moves back slightly.
If the blind stops and immediatel
y opens again
during a closing manoeuvre:
) operate the control until the blind is fully open,)
then operate the control until the blind is fully closed. The safety anti-pinch function is not operational during these operations.


If the blind meets an obstacle during operation, you must reverse the movement of the blind. To do this, press the control concerned. When the driver operates the blind control, they must ensure that no one ispreventing correct closing of the blind.
The driver must ensure that passengersuse the blind correctly.
Be aware of children when operating the blind.
Reinitialisation
If power to the blind is cut off while it is moving,
the safety anti-pinch must be reinitialised:)operate the control until the blind is fully closed, )continue to press for at least 3 seconds.
A slight movement of the blind will then be
noticeable, confirming the reinitialisation.

Comfort
Switch on the ignition or star t the engine if the vehicle has gone into economy mode.
The electric functions of the driver's seat are active for about 45 seconds after opening the front door. They are deactivated about 45 seconds after switching off the ignition and in economy mode.

To reactivate them, switch on the ignition.

113Comfort
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below: )
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as wellas the air extractor located in the boot.
)
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the digital air conditioning system. )
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a monthto keep it in perfect working order. )
Ensure that the passenger compar tment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section). We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by theoccupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to haveit checked regularly as recommended in the ser vicing booklet. )
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can switch off the air conditioning (AC button) and stay in Automatic mode in order to limit fuel consumption. If misting appears while in this mode, you can switch the air conditioning back on temporarily to improve the situation.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off theair conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.












Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, firstventilate the passenger compar tment for a few moments. Put the air flow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in the passenger compartment. The air conditioning system does notcontain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.


The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a dischargeof water under the vehicle which is
perfectly normal.
