2012 Citroen DS5 HYBRID4 ECO mode

Dual-zone digital air conditioning
1. Automatic comfort programme

We recommend the use of one of
the three AUTO modes available:
they provide optimised regulation of
the temperature in the passenger compartment according to the comfort value
that you have chosen.
These three modes automatically control the system, according to the desired setting, while also maintaining the desired comfort value.
) Press the "AUTO"
button repeatedly:


- a first indicator lamp comes on; the "low"
setting mode is selected,

- a second indicator lamp comes on; the"medium" setting mode is selected,

- a third indicator lamp comes on; the
"high" mode setting is selected.

Use the "medium" and "high" settings in
preference to maintain the comfort level at
th
e rear.

When the engine is cold, the air flow will reach its optimum level
progressively, taking account of the weather and the desired comfort levelso as to avoid too great a distributionof cold air. On entering the vehicle, if the interior temperature is much colder or warmer than the comfor t value, there is noneed to change the value displayed in order to obtain the comfor t required. Inall seasons, with the windows closed the system corrects the differencein temperature automatically and asquickly as possible.
This s
ystem is designed to operate effectively
in all seasons, with the windows closed.
Automatic operation
The air conditioning can only operate when the hybrid system is active (Ready lamp on).
Its effectiveness will be reduced when in electric mode (see the ECO OFF section).

It is recommended that you do notapply the parking brake in very coldconditions (ice) and during towing (recovery...). To do this, release the parking brake manually, select position A
or R
, then press the STA R T/STOP switch to stopthe engine.
The electric parking brake combines
2 operating modes:- Automatic Application/ReleaseApplication is automatic when the engine
stops, release is automatic on use of the
accelerator (this mode is activated by
default), -Manual Application/ReleaseManual application of the parking brake is done by pulling control lever A.Manual release is done by pullingthenreleasing the control lever, while pressing
the brake pedal.
When the driver's door is opened, there is an
audible signal and a message is displayed if the
brake is not applied.

Programming the automatic
mode

Depending on the country of sale of the vehicle,
the automatic application when the engine isswitched off and the automatic release when
you press the accelerator can be deactivated.
You can contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have it activated.

In this case, programming is done via
the configuration menu.








Electric parking brake
If deactivated, the parking brake must
be applied and released manually.
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, the automaticmode is deactivated.

- towards the front to decrease the
brightness.
Brightness adjustment
We recommend that adjustments areonly made using these buttons whenthe vehicle is stationary.

When stationary or while driving, no objects should be placed around thetransparent strip (or on its cover) toavoid blocking the strip output and preventing its correct operation.

In certain extreme weather conditions (rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, ...)the head-up display may not be legibleor may suffer temporary inter ference.
Some sunglasses may hamper readingof the information.
To clean the transparent strip, use aclean, soft cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or microfibre cloth). Do not usea dry or abrasive cloth or detergent or solvent products as these could scratch the strip or damage the anti-reflection coating.

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.

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



Operating fault

In the event of a fault with the speed limiter,
the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.

manually: it
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the engagement of second gear
with sequential gear changing (position M ).
The cruise control is switched off
manually or fby pressing the brake pedal or on triggering of
the "electronic stability programme" system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.

This information also appears in thehead-up display.
For more information, refer to the "Head-up display" section.

When the cruise control is switched on, be careful if you maintain the pressure on one of the programmed speed changing buttons: this may result in a very rapid change in the speed of your vehicle. Do not use the cruise control on slipperyroads or in heavy traffic. On a steep descent, the cruise control will not be able to prevent the vehiclefrom exceeding the programmed speed. On steep climbs or when towing, the programmed speed may not be reached or maintained.
To a v o i d a ny risk of jamming of the
pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,

- never fit one mat on top of another.

is opened warns the driver that the vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with theignition off and in manual lighting mode.
In this case, switching off the lighting stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped headlamps remain on, the vehicle goes into "ECO" mode to avoid discharging the battery.

In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal sur face of theglass of the headlamps and rear lampsis normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.

The daytime runninglamps can be activated and deactivated via the configuration menu.



The lighting goes off when you switchoff the ignition, but you can always switch it on again using the lighting control stalk.
