2012 Citroen DS5 change time

Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently,change up without waiting and drive by changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has the system, the gear shift indicator invites youto change up; it is displayed in the instrumentpanel, follow its instructions.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D"or Auto "A"
, according to the type of gearbox, without pressing theaccelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, useengine braking rather than the brake pedal,and press the accelerator progressively. These practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and also helpsreduce the background traffic noise.


If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h)when the traffic is flowing well.
Control the use of your electrical equipment


Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it byopening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that canhelp keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and windowblinds...). Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital regulation, as soon as thedesired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrostingcontrols, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light does not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving off,particularly in winter; your vehicle will warmup much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, videogame...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.

System for manual adjustment of the brightness of the instruments and controls in relation to
the exterior brightness.
Lighting dimmer

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.



Trip distance recorder
To c o nform to legislation in the countryyou are crossing, change the units of distance (miles or km) via the configuration menu.

43Monitoring
System allowing cer tain screens to be switched
off for night driving (available only with eMyWay).
The instrument panel remains on with the
vehicle speed, electronic gearbox gear
selected, cruise control or speed limiter
information, if in use, and the low fuel alerts if necessary.
If there is an aler t or a change in a function
or to a setting, the black panel mode isinterrupted.

Clock
The analogue clock does not have an
adjustment button.
To set the time, re
fer to the section relating to
the screen (audio system) configuration menu.
The clock is synchronised with the screen time; once the the setting has been confirmed in
the screen, the hands will turn to synchronise
with the screen, and each time the ignition isswitched on.

45
Monitoring
If dashes are displayed continuously
while 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.
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 fuel consumption over the last few miles (kilometres) travelled.
When the range
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)
If 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.

Manual operation
)Select position M
for sequentialchanging
of the six gears.)Push the lever towards the + sign to change up a gear.
)Pull the lever towards the -
sign to change
down a gear.
It is onl
y possible to change from one gear to
another if the vehicle speed and engine speedpermit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
D disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession on theinstrument panel.
I
f the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to chan
ge from position D(automatic) to position M
(manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear 1automatically.
The spor t and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.

stiff point) to temporarily deactivate the system(pause), this changes the headlamps to dipped beam.
)Flash the headlamps
to reactivate the system.

The system will be operational as soon as you have exceeded 15 mph(25 km/h).If the speed drops below 9 mph (15 km/h),the system changes to dipped beam.

(xenon model)
) Remove the protective plastic cover by
pulling on the tab.) Remove the connector with the bulb bypressing on the lug at the bottom. )
Remove the bulb and change it.
For reassembly, carry out these operations in reverse order.
The headlamps are fitted withpolycarbonate glass with a protectivecoating:)do not clean them using a dryor abrasive cloth, nor with adetergent or solvent product,)use a sponge and soapy water, )when using a high pressure washer on persistent marks, do not keepthe lance directed towards thelamps or their edges for too long,so as not to damage their protectivecoating and seals.
)Do not touch the bulb directly withyour fingers, use lint-free cloths. Changing a bulb should only be doneafter the headlamp has been switched off for a few minutes (risk of serious burns).
It is imperative to use only anti-ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs in order notto damage the headlamp. Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb with the same type andspecification.
Dipped beam headlamps (xenon model)

D1S xenon bulbs must be changedby a CITROËN dealer or a qualifiedworkshop, as there is a risk of electrocution.
It is recommended that the D1S bulbsare changed at the same time when one of them fails.
