2013.5 Citroen DS5 HYBRID4 RHD fuel type

9Familiarisation

For economical driving, caring for the environment
The fuel consumption of a vehicle varies greatly : - according to the driver's style of driving (moderate, aggressive, fast, ...), - according to the type of journeys made (urban, main road, motor way, flowing, heavy traffic, …) and the speed.
Main recommendations for driving economically
Hybrid mode selector
To optimise fuel consumption, use the Auto mode of the selector whenever possible (the mode is activated automatically when starting) including for urban journeys. This mode optimises the use of the energy sources (internal combustion engine and/or electric) contrary to other modes, which are for use in particular cases.
Gear lever
Use the automatic mode A as much as possible as this optimises gear changes to suit the requirements.
Causes of high consumption and checks
As with any vehicle, limit overloading, wind resistance (windows open above 30 mph (50 km/h), roof bars, loaded or not, …), the use of power consumers (air conditioning, heated seats, heated rear screen, …). Observe the recommendations on checks (regular check of tyre pressures, correct tyre pressures, …) and routine servicing.
Drive smoothly
Stay in the "eco" zone displayed in the energy consumption / generation indicator: accelerate gently, drive at steady speeds using the speed limiter or cruise control as soon as possible. Use the "charge"zone: anticipate the need to slow down by taking your foot off the accelerator rather than braking. The movement of the energy consumption / generation indicator needle (into the "charge" zone), shows the level of energy recovery.
Consumption history
See the impact of your style of driving and the type of journey by reviewing the history of your energy consumption. Refer to the "Multifunction screens" section.

The high voltage battery must not in any circumstances be charged from an external source and must only be handled by a workshop technician. There is the risk of serious burns, as well as electric arcs that could cause serious injury or even death. A used Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) type high voltage battery must be removed in an appropriate manner by a repair workshop, so that its recycling presents no risk to the environment.
High voltage
The voltage used for the operation of the electric motor is in the range 150 to 270 Volts. Be sure to take account of the warning labels fitted to the vehicle. Take great care regarding the high voltage and high temperatures of components carrying the current.
Emergency cut-off
In the event of an accident, a cut-off system blocks the high voltage current and cuts off the fuel pump; your vehicle can no longer be started.
To restart the hybrid system, contact a CITROËN dealer.
High voltage cables are routed under the vehicle (sills); take care not to damage them when the vehicle is used for off-road activity (such as covering rough ground).
Before doing any work on the vehicle, switch off the ignition ( Ready lamp off).
Battery precautions
High voltage cables
Take care to position lifting equipment ( jack, hoist, ...) at the locations provided to avoid damaging the cables.
Never touch, dismantle, remove or replace the high voltage parts, orange cables or connectors, even in the event of an accident.

Fuel tank Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to be registered by the fuel gauge. Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results from the sealing of the fuel system.  Take care to select the pump that delivers the correct fuel type for your vehicle's engine (reminder on a label on the inside of the filler flap).  Open the filler cap by turning it a 1/4 turn to the left.  Remove the filler cap and hang it on its carrier (on the filler flap).
Opening
If you have put in the wrong fuel for your vehicle, you must have have the tank drained and refilled with the correct fuel before you star t
the engine.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the system in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the START/STOP button.
Refuelling
 Introduce the nozzle and push it in fully (pushing open the metal non-return valve A ). A ). A
 Fill the tank (don't continue past the third cut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause malfunctions).  Refit the filler cap turning it a 1/4 turn to the right.  Push the filler flap to close it.
Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter that reduces the levels of harmful substances in the exhaust gas.
 Press the switch . This switch remains active for a few minutes after switching off the ignition. If necessary, switch the ignition on again to reactivate it.

Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the tank is reached, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible warning and a message in the instrument panel screen.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision.
It remains possible to use a fuel can to fill the tank. In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in direct contact with the flap of the misfuel prevention device and pour
s l ow l y.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel) *
Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel. Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes into contact with the flap. The system remains closed and prevents filling. Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type filler nozzle.
Operation
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the presence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuelling impossible. Before travelling abroad, we recommend that you check with the CITROËN dealer network, whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in the country in which you want to travel.
* According to country of sale.
When it first comes on, around 6 litres of fuel remain in the tank. Until sufficient fuel has been added, this warning lamp comes on every time the ignition is switched on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message. This audible signal and message are repeated with increasing frequency as the fuel levels drops and approaches "0". You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out.

Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are per fectly compatible with biofuels which conform to current and future European standards (Diesel fuel which complies with standard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel which complies with standard EN 14214) available at the pumps (containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester). The B30 biofuel can be used in certain Diesel engines; however, this use is subject to strict application of the special servicing conditions.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. The use of any other type of (bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of damage to the engine and fuel system).
