Presentation of the Hybrid4 system
Thank you for choosing a DS5 Hybrid4; this vehicle has characteristics that are different from conventional vehicles. Study this handbook to learn about the specific hybrid functions and for more information, refer to the "Hybrid system" section.
1. Diesel HDi engine (front wheel drive). 2. Electric motor (rear wheel drive). 3. 200 V battery. 4. Electronic power supervisor.
5. Alternator-starter motor (Stop & Start). 6. Electronic gearbox. 7. Electrical flow. 8. Hybrid4 mode selector.

The Hybrid4 technology allows two sources of energy to be associated in an effective manner: the Diesel HDi engine, which drives the front wheels and the electric motor, which drives the rear wheels. These two motors can operate alternately or simultaneously, according to the hybrid mode selected and the driving conditions. The electric motor alone provides power for the vehicle in "ZEV " (Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode, and in "Auto" mode for running at slow speed and low load. It also assists the Diesel engine when moving off, accelerating and changing gear. The battery that powers the electric motor is recharged during phases of deceleration and stores the energy for subsequent use.

The electronic power super visor - 4automatically manages the operation of the two power units (Diesel and electric) to provide the lowest consumption. An inverter and a transformer are needed to manage the electric power. The inverter acts on the torque of the electric motor, by regulating the current coming from the high voltage battery pack. Its operating range is between 150 and 270 volts. The transformer converts the 200 V of the battery pack to 12 V, to power the vehicle's ancillary systems.
The alternator-starter motor - 5 assures the Stop & Star t function which allows the Diesel engine to be put into standby during stops (traffic lights, a stop, or in a traffic jam, for example) or during phases of running in all-electric mode. The stopping and restarting of the Diesel engine is done in a way that is instantaneous and transparent for the driver. It also provides additional charging of the batteries (4x4 mode for example or under-charged high voltage battery).
The electronic gearbox - 6 provides, in automatic mode, significant savings in fuel consumption compared to a conventional manual gearbox, thanks to its electronic control system. It also offers improved driving pleasure with the possibility at any time of choosing the gear changing mode: automatic or manual, using the paddles located behind the steering wheel.

Sport mode
(Diesel and
electric)
4WD mode **
(Diesel and
electric)
This mode allows more dynamic driving by providing additional performance . Vehicle acceleration and pick-up are maximised by using the capacity of the electric motor, supplementing the power of the Diesel engine. This mode manages the progressiveness of the accelerator, the electronic gearbox and the use of the electric motor. In Sport mode: - The electric motor can be used up to 70 mph (120 km/h).
This mode provides additional traction *** at low speed by driving all 4 wheels of the vehicle continuously: the Diesel engine (front wheel drive) and the electric motor (rear wheel drive) operate simultaneously and permanently. Their coupling is managed electronically to optimise traction on slippery sur faces. In 4WD mode: - Power for the electric motor is provided, if needed, by the alternator-starter motor of the front engine. The Diesel engine operates continuously. - The additional traction from the electric motor is available up to 75 mph (120 km/h).
In ZEV mode: - Range and acceleration capacity are limited. The maximum speed possible is around 36 mph (60 km/h). - Under high load or a priority requirement causing the start of the Diesel engine, the system changes automatically to AUTO mode.
If the conditions do not allow this mode, a message that the "electric mode is not currently available" appears in the screen. The ZEV warning lamp flashes for a few seconds then goes off and the selector comes on in AUTO.
This mode should be used on snow covered roads or difficult ground (mud, sand, ...). In this mode, in severe conditions and if the circumstances allow, it is recommended that you accelerate strongly to ensure that you move off and avoid any risk of getting stuck. The addition of 4WD traction is available whatever: - the state of charge of the traction battery, - the altitude.
For more information on "Automatic restarting of the Diesel engine or ZEV mode not available", refer to the corresponding section.
** 4WD: 4 Wheel Drive. *** This mode will be even more effective if
suitable tyres are fitted (winter tyres in particular).

Warning / indicator lampStateCauseAction / Observations
Electric parking brake flashing. The electric parking brake is not applied automatically. The application/release is faulty.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so. Park on flat level ground, engage a gear (or place the lever in position P for an automatic gearbox), switch off the ignition and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake fault fixed. The electric parking brake has a fault. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without delay. For more information on the electric parking brake, refer to the corresponding section.
Deactivation of the automatic functions of the electric parking brake
fixed. The "automatic application" (on switching off the engine) and "automatic release" functions are deactivated or faulty.
Activate the function (according to country) via the vehicle configuration menu or contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop if automatic application / release is not possible. For more information on the electric parking brake, refer to the corresponding section.

75Monitoring
System allowing certain screens to be switched off for night driving (available only with eMyWay). The instrument panel remains on with the vehicle speed, electronic gearbox gear selected, cruise control or speed limiter information, if in use, and the low fuel alerts if necessary. If there is an alert or a change in a function or to a setting, the black panel mode is interrupted.

Electronic gearbox
Six-speed electronic gearbox which offers a choice between the comfort of fully automatic operation or the pleasure of manual gear changing. There are two driving modes: - automated mode for automatic control of the gears by the gearbox, - manual mode for sequential gear changing by the driver.
R. Reverse With your foot on the brake, lift the selector and push forwards. N. Neutral. With your foot on the brake, select this position to start. A. Automated mode. Move the selector backwards to select this mode. M. Manual mode with sequential gear changing. Lift the selector then move it backwards to select this mode, then use the steering mounted control paddles to change gear.
Gear selector
+. Change up paddle to the right of the steering wheel. Press the back of the "+" steering mounted paddle to change up a gear. -. Change down paddle to the left of the steering wheel. Press the back of the "-" steering mounted paddle to change down a gear.
Steering mounted control paddles
The steering mounted paddles cannot be used to select neutral or to engage or disengage reverse gear.
This gearbox provides additional functions: - hill start assist, - creep function (the vehicle moves on its own on releasing the brake pedal) in automated mode or in reverse.
In automated mode, it remains possible to change gear manually by using the steering mounted control paddles as desired, when overtaking, for example.
