2013.5 Citroen DS5 HYBRID4 RHD warning

139Driving

Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when starting on a gradient, the time it takes to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. This function is only active when: - the vehicle is completely stationary, with your foot on the brake pedal, - in particular conditions on a slope, - with the driver’s door closed. The hill start assist function cannot be deactivated.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle stationar y, the vehicle is held for a brief moment when you release the brake pedal,if the gear selector is in position A or M .
On a descending slope, with the vehicle stationary and reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held for a brief moment when you release the brake pedal.
Do not exit the vehicle while it is being held in the hill start assist phase. If you need to exit the vehicle with the hybrid system active, apply the parking brake manually then ensure that the parking brake warning lamp and the warning lamp P on the lever (of the electric brake) are permanently on.
Operating fault
If a malfunction of the system occurs, these warning lamps come on. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.

Manual gear changing
 When the vehicle has moved off, select position M to change to manual mode.  Operate the + or - steering mounted control paddles.
A disappears and the gears engaged appear successively in the instrument panel screen.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox changes down automatically to permit acceleration in the correct gear.
This selective gear change mode enables you to overtake, for example, while still remaining in automatic mode.  Operate the + or - steering mounted control paddle. The gearbox engages the gear requested if the engine speed permits. A is still displayed in the instrument panel. After a few moments without any action on
the controls, the gearbox resumes automatic control of the gears.
Manual mode
At very low speed, if reverse gear is requested, this will only be taken into account when the vehicle is immobilised (foot on the brake). A warning lamp appears in the instrument panel screen.
On sharp acceleration in manual mode,
the gearbox will not change up unless the driver acts on the gear lever or the steering mounted paddles. Never select neutral N while the vehicle is moving. Only engage reverse gear R when the vehicle is immobilised with the brake pedal pressed.
The gear change commands are only carried out if the engine speed permits. The internal combustion engine is still running. It is not necessary to release the accelerator during gear changes.

143Driving
When immobilising the vehicle, with the hybrid system active, you must place the gear selector in neutral N . Before carrying out any work in the engine compartment, check that the gear selector is in neutral N and that the parking brake is applied.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can choose to: - move to position N to engage neutral, - leave the gear engaged; in this case, it will not be possible to move the vehicle. In both cases, you should apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Operating fault
Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle with the hybrid system active.
For your safety, this function will only be activated if you press the brake pedal when engaging forward drive or reverse. This function is deactivated if the driver's door is opened. To reactivate it, close the door and then press the brake or accelerator pedal.
Creep function (moving
without the accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic jams, …). With the hybrid system active and the parking brake released, if position A , M or R is selected, the vehicle moves as soon as you take your foot off the brake pedal (even without any action on the accelerator).
You must press the brake pedal when starting the engine. Whatever the circumstances, you must manually apply the parking brake when
parking, unless the parking brake is programmed in automatic mode.
With the ignition on, the flashing of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen, indicates a malfunction of the gearbox. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

145Driving
The alert is maintained until the tyre or tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired or replaced. The spare wheel (space-saver type or a steel rim) does not have a sensor.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
This alert is also displayed when one or more wheels is not fitted with a sensor (for example, a space-saver or steel spare wheel).
The alert is given by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal, and depending on equipment, the display of a message.
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the under-inflation warning lamp accompanied by the illumination of the "service" warning lamp indicates a fault with the system.
Under-inflation alert Operating fault
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres, the symbol or the message appears, according to equipment, to identify it.  Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering movements or harsh brake applications.  Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked or, following the repair of a puncture, to have the original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is not assured.
 If you have a compressor (the one in the temporary puncture repair kit for example), check the four tyre pressures when cold. If it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive carefully at reduced speed. or  In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (according to equipment).

Lane departure warning system
System which, using a camera which recognises solid or broken lines, detects the involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground. To provide safe driving, the camera analyses the image then, if the driver's attention drops, triggers a warning if the vehicle drifts over a lane marking (speed higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)). This system is particularly useful on motor ways and main roads.
Activation
 Press this button, the indicator lamp comes on.
The lane departure warning system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.
Deactivation
You are warned by the vibration of the driver's seat cushion: - on the right-hand side, if the marking on the ground has been crossed on the right, - on the left-hand side, if the marking on the ground has been crossed on the left. No warning is transmitted while the direction indicator is active and for approximately 20 seconds after the direction indicator is switched off.
Detection - alert
Operating fault
The detection may be impeded: - if the markings on the ground are worn, - if there is little contrast between the markings on the ground and the road sur face, - if the windscreen is dirty, - in certain severe weather conditions: fog, heavy rain, snow, bright sunlight or direct exposure to the sun (low sun, leaving a tunnel, ...) and shade.
 Press this button again, the indicator lamp goes off.
In the event of a fault, the indicator lamp in the button flashes. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
The status of the system remains in the memory when the ignition is switched off. It is necessary to observe the driving regulations and to take a break every
two hours.

155Driving
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.
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.
Operating fault
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).
Front parking sensors
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).
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.

The sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are switched on automatically, without any action on the part of the driver, when a low level of external light is detected or in certain cases of activation of the windscreen wipers. As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers are switched off, the lamps are switched off automatically.
Automatic illumination of headlamps
Activation
Turn the ring to the "AUTO" position, automatic illumination of headlamps is activated and a message is displayed in the screen.
Deactivation
 Turn the ring to another position. Deactivation is accompanied by a message in the screen.
Association with the automatic "Guide-me-home" lighting
Association with the automatic lighting provides the "guide-me-home" lighting with the following additional options after the ignition is switched off: - selection of the lighting duration of 15, 30 or 60 seconds in the vehicle parameters in the vehicle configuration menu, - automatic activation of "guide-me-home" lighting when automatic illumination of headlamps is in operation.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the sunshine sensor, the lighting comes on, this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient light. In this case, the lighting will not come on automatically. Do not cover the sunshine sensor, coupled with the rain sensor and located in the centre of the windscreen behind the rear view mirror; the associated functions would no longer be controlled.

Parking lamps
Side markers for the vehicle by illumination of the sidelamps on the traffic side only.  Within one minute of switching off the ignition, operate the lighting control stalk
up or down depending on the traffic side (for example: when parking on the left; lighting control stalk upwards; the right hand sidelamps are on). This is confirmed by an audible signal and illumination of the corresponding direction indicator warning lamp in the instrument panel. To switch off the parking lamps, return the lighting control stalk to the middle position or switch on the ignition.
Temporarily keeping the dipped beam headlamps on after the vehicle's ignition has been switched off makes the exit of the vehicle's occupants easier when the light is poor.
Manual guide-me-home
lighting
Switching on
 Within one minute after switching of the ignition, "flash" the headlamps using the lighting stalk.  A further "headlamp flash" switches the function off.
Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting switches off automatically after a set time (this time is programmable in the configuration menu).
The system may suffer interference or not work correctly: - under conditions of poor visibility (for example, snowfall, heavy rain or thick fog, ...), - if the windscreen is dirty, misted or obscured (by a sticker, ...) in front of the camera, - if the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs.
The system is not able to detect: - road users that do not have their own lighting, such as pedestrians, - road users whose lighting is obscured, such as vehicles running behind a safety barrier (on a motor way, for example), - road users at the top or bottom of a steep slope, on twisty roads, on crossroads.
