2013.5 Citroen DS4 RHD air condition

Large multifunctional
storage unit

This storage unit is closed by a sliding shutter.
It contains:


- the USB port and 12 V/auxiliary sockets 1
,

- a retractable support 2
to receive your
mobile phone or portable device,

- a space ventilated by a closeable nozzle 3
,
to keep food and drinks fresh if the air
conditioning is operating. It is illuminated only when the sliding
shutter is fully open.
The sliding shutter can be partly
closed up to the level of the retractable
support, so as to keep the storage unit
cool.

Deactivation

In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), if you are unable to make progress,
it may be advisable to temporarily deactivate
these systems, so that the wheels can spin
freely and allow the vehicle to move.



Press the "ESP OFF"
button, located near
the steering wheel.


Reactivation

These systems are reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched back on or
from 30 mph (50 km/h).



Press the "ESP OFF"
button again to
reactivate them manually.



Operating fault

The trajectory control systems offer
increased safety in normal driving, but
this should not encourage the driver to
take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems is assured provided that
manufacturer's recommendations are
observed on:


- wheels (tyres and rims),

- braking components,

- electronic components,

- assembly and repair procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If this warning lamp in the instrument
panel and the " ESP OFF
" indicator
lamp in the button come on,
accompanied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen, this indicates a fault
with these systems.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. It is recommended that the systems be
reactivated as soon as possible.
If the indicator lamp in the button comes
on, this indicates that these systems are
deactivated.

185Safety
Airbags


System designed to maximise the safety of the
occupants (with the exception of the rear centre
passenger) in the event of violent collisions.
The airbags supplement the action of the force-
limiting seat belts (with the exception of the
centre rear passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:


- in the case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of the vehicle (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger); immediately after
the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so
that they do not hinder visibility or the exit
of the occupants,

- in the case of a minor or rear impact
or in certain roll-over conditions, the
airbags will not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.

This equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not be deployed again.

Impact detection zones



A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side impact zone.
Deployment of the airbag(s) is
accompanied by a slight emission
of smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.

Checks




















Air filter and passenger compartment filter














Oil filter


Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the maintenance and warranty guide and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.


Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of the
replacement inter vals for these
components.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city
driving), replace them twice as often if necessar y
.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may have
an adverse effect on the per formance of the air
conditioning system and generate undesirable
odours.


Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of the
replacement inter val for this
component.





The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid
battery with special technology and
specification. The involvement of
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop is essential when replacing
or disconnecting the battery.













12 V battery


The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check that the terminals
are clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for details of the
precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection.

269Practical information

Installing electrical
accessories
Your vehicle's electrical system is
designed to operate with standard or
optional equipment.
Before installing other electrical
equipment or accessories on your
vehicle, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
CITROËN will not accept responsibility
for the cost incurred in repairing your
vehicle or for rectifying malfunctions
resulting from the installation of
accessories not supplied and not
recommended by CITROËN and
not installed in accordance with its
instructions, in particular when the
combined consumption of all of the
additional equipment connected
exceeds 10 milliamperes.
Before changing a fuse:



the cause of the failure must be identified
and rectified,


all electrical consumers must b switched
off,


the vehicle must be immobilised with the
ignition off,


identify the failed fuse using the tables and
layout drawings in the following pages.


Changing a fuse


Good

Failed

The replacement of a fuse not shown in
the tables below may cause a serious
malfunction of your vehicle. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Tw e e z e r
To replace a fuse, you must:



use the special tweezer to extract the fuse
from its housing and check the condition of
its filament,


always replace the failed fuse with a fuse
of the same rating (same colour); using a
different rating could cause faults (risk of
fire).
If the fuse fails again soon after replacement,
have the vehicle's electrical system checked by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Energy economy mode
System which manages the period of use of certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level of
charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio equipment, windscreen
wipers, dipped beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum combined period of thirty
minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if
the battery is not fully charged.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting (refer to the corresponding
paragraph). If the telephone is being used at the
same time on the navigation system,
it will be interrupted after 10 minutes.


Switching to economy mode

Once this period has elapsed, a message
appears in the screen indicating that the
vehicle has switched to economy mode and the
active functions are put on standby.

Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated automatically
the next time the vehicle is driven.



In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the engine and
let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be double
the period for which the engine is left running.
However, this period will always be between
five and thirty minutes.








Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as the air conditioning,
the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.

detailed alert to the appropriate emergency services. In countries in
which the team is not operational, or when the locating service has
been expressly declined, the call is dealt with directly by the emergency
services (112) without the vehicle location.

If an impact is detected by the airbag control unit, and
