2013.5 Citroen DS4 RHD display

The system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using the key.


Reactivation

This system requires a specific battery with a
special 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 system,
the "ECO OFF"
switch warning lamp flashes,
then comes on continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified 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
START mode.
The Stop & Start system makes use
of advanced technology. All work on
this type of battery must be done only
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. Press 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, the vehicle may stall. All of
the instrument panel warning lamps
come on.
Depending on version, an alert
message may also be displayed asking
you to put the gear lever into position N

and put your foot on the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the
ignition, then restart the engine using
the key.

Memorising speeds
This memorisation of speeds applies to both the speed limiter and the cruise control.
You can memorise up to 5 speeds in the system. By default, a few speeds are already memorised.

223Driving
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal no longer has
any effect.





Speed limiter

The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need to respect speed limits,
nor can it replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver.
The functions of this system are grouped
together on the steering mounted controls.

(see "Memorising speeds")


Displays in the instrument panel


Operation

The speed limiter is switched on
manually: it
requires a programmed speed of at least
20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off
by manual
operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly
beyond the point of resistance.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
The programmed speed remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.


Turn dial 1
to the "LIMIT"
position: the
speed limiter mode is selected but is not
switched on (Pause).
You do not have to switch the speed limiter on
in order to set the speed.



Set the speed value by pressing button 2

or 3
(e.g.: 55 mph (90 km/h)).


Programming

You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2
and 3
:


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

- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
If speed memorisation is available and activated on your vehicle, the
programmed speed will stop at the closest memorised speed; refer to the
corresponding paragraph.



Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4
.


Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4
: the display
confirms that it has been switched off (Pause).


Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4
again.



Exceeding the programmed speed

Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed will not have
any effect unless you press the pedal firmly
past the point 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 programmed
speed.
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 1
to 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.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Cruise control

System which automatically maintains the
speed of the vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the

Displays in the instrument panel


Operation

The cruise control is switched on
manually: it
requires 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
driving mode,

- position A
on the electronic gearbox
system or D
on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
manually
or 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 programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.

Parking space sensors


System which measures the parking space
available between two vehicles or obstacles.
It measures the size of the space and gives you
information on:


- the possibility of fitting into a free space,
depending on the dimensions of your
vehicle and the distances needed for
manoeuvring,

- the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre to
be performed.
The system does not measure spaces which
are clearly much smaller or larger than the size
of the vehicle.

Displays in the instrument panel
You have identified a parking space:



Press button A
to select the function.


Operate the direction indicator on the
side where the space is to be measured;
a message is displayed to confirm that
measurement is in progress.


During measurement, go for ward the
length of the space, at a speed less than
12 mph (approx. 20 km/h), to prepare for
your manoeuvre.


Once the measurement has been
completed, the system informs you of
the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre
by a message in the multifunction screen
accompanied by an audible signal.


Operation

The parking space sensor function
warning lamp can have two different
states:


- on fixed:
the function is selected by a
press on control A
.

- off:
the function is not selected,

The function displays the following types of message:
The function deselects itself automatically:


- when you engage reverse gear,

- when you switch off the ignition,

- if measuring is not requested,

- within five minutes of selection of the
function,

- if the vehicle speed exceeds the
threshold of 45 mph (approx. 70 km/h) for
one minute.

If the lateral distance between your vehicle and
the parking space is too large, the system may
not be able to measure the space.
The system remains available after each
measurement and can therefore measure
several spaces in succession.
In poor or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are free of dirt, ice or snow.
The parking space sensor system deactivates
the front parking sensors when measuring
forwards.

Parking possible


Parking difficult


Parking not advised

If there is a fault, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

229Driving





Parking sensors

This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
which comes within the field of detection of
sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.

This function cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the
driver.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit
reverse gear.

Rear parking sensors


Audible assistance

The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which
increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.




Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed in the screen.
