2013.5 Citroen DS4 RHD instrument panel

Front parking sensors
Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction of
the system, when reverse gear
is engaged this warning lamp
is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a
message appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).


The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITROËN).

In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.


Deactivation/Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this button.
The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the function.
The indicator lamp in the button goes off.

The sound emitted by the speaker
(front or rear) indicates whether the
obstacle is in front or behind.

Checking levels


Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the maintenance and warranty guide. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.


















Oil level

Engine oil change

Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide
for details of the inter val for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, the use of
additives in the engine oil is prohibited.


Oil specifi cation

The oil must be the correct grade for your
engine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.












Brake fluid level


Changing the fl uid

Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide
for details of the inter val for this operation.


Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.

The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.
It will only be correct if the vehicle is on level
ground and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns)
and the cooling fan could start at any
time (even with the ignition off).
It is normal to top up the oil level
between two ser vices (or oil changes).
CITROËN recommends that you check
the level, and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel
is not valid during the 30 minutes after
topping up.

Additive level (Diesel with
particle emissions filter)

Topping up

The reser voir must be topped up without delay
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.









Used products

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop (France) or to an
authorised waste disposal site.


Open the bonnet and secure it with the
stay.


Open the screenwash reser voir filler cap.


Take and pinch the level gauge to block its
breather.


Remove the gauge completely from
the reser voir to read the level in the
transparent section.


Top up if necessary.


Refit the filler cap to the reservoir and
close the bonnet.


Specifi cation of the fl uid

To ensure optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, the fluid should never be topped up or
replaced by plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of a fluid
with an ethyl alcohol or methanol base is
recommended.
According to your version of instrument panel,
the additive reser voir low level is indicated by:


-
fixed illumination of the par ticle
emissions filter warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and
a message that the particle emissions
filter additive level is too low,

or

- fixed illumination of the ser vice
warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
that the particle emissions filter
additive level is too low.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

On a new vehicle, the first operations of
regeneration of the particle emissions
filter may be accompanied by the smell
of "burning", which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.







Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for the details of the
level checking inter val for this component.
According to your version of instrument panel, the start of
saturation of the par ticle emissions filter is indicated by:






Electronic gearbox

The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of the
checking inter val for this component.
-
temporary illumination of the ser vice
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message that
there is a risk of blockage of the
particle emissions filter.




- fixed illumination of the par ticle
emissions filter warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message that there is a risk of
blockage of the particle emissions filter,
or
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the
"Additive level" section.






Automatic gearbox

The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of the level
checking inter val for this component.

Removing a wheel


Parking the vehicle

Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not block traffic: the ground must be
level, stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake unless it has
been programmed to automatic mode,
switch off the ignition and engage first
gear * to lock the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamps
in the instrument panel are on (not
flashing).
The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to
be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.

The distribution (or spatialisation using the Arkamys
© system) of
sound is an audio process that allows the audio quality to be adapted
to the number of listeners in the vehicle.

On-board audio: Arkamys
©
Sound Staging.
With Sound Staging, the driver and passengers are immersed in an
"audio scene" recreating the natural atmosphere of an auditorium:
truly a part of the scene and its surroundings.
This new sensation is made possible by software in the audio system
which processes the digital signals from the media players (radio,
CD, MP3…) without changing the audio settings. This processing
takes account of the characteristics of the passenger compartment to
produce optimum results.
The Arkamys
© software installed in your audio system processes
the digital signal from the media players (radio, CD, MP3, ...) and
recreates a natural musical scene, with harmonious placement of
instruments and voices in the space in front of passengers, level with
the windscreen.

The audio settings ( Equalizer
, Bass
, Treble
and Loudness
) are
different and independent for each sound source.
The settings for distribution and balance are common to all sources.
