2013 Citroen DS5 HYBRID4 maintenance

Observe the recommendations
on maintenance


Check the tyre pressures regularly, whencold, referring to the label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in par ticular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.



Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve the schedule of operations recommended by themanufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the3 rd
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is onlyafter the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to a consistent average.


At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; placethe heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,as close as possible to the rear seats.Limit the loads carried in the vehicle andreduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
Limit the causes of excess
consumption

Service overdue
Every time the ignition is switched on, an
overdue service is immediately signaledby flashing of the spanner and the fixed
illumination of the Service warning lamp.

The distance remaining may be weighted by the time factor, dependingon the driving conditions.
Therefore, the spanner may also comeon if you have exceeded the period since the last service, indicated in the maintenance and warranty guide
.

Following this operation, if you wish to disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle and wait at least five minutes for the zero reset to be taken into account. 5 seconds a
fter the ignition is switched on,
the distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains on.
Service indicator
zero reset
After each ser vice, the ser vice indicator mustbe reset to zero.
The procedure for resetting to zero is as
follows: ) switch off the ignition,)
press and hold the trip distance recorder
zero reset button,) switch on the ignition; the distance recorder
display begins a countdown,
) when the display indicates "=0", release
the button; the spanner disappears.
Retrieving the serviceinformation

You can access the service information at
any time. )Press the trip distance recorder zero reset button.
The ser vice information is displayed for a few seconds, then disappears.

11 7Comfort
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below: )
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as wellas the air extractor located in the boot.
)
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the digital air conditioning system. )
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a monthto keep it in perfect working order. )
Ensure that the passenger compar tment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section). We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by theoccupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to haveit checked regularly as recommended in the ser vicing and warranty booklet. )
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can switch off the air conditioning (AC button) and stay in Automatic mode in order to limit fuel consumption. If misting appears while in this mode, you can switch the air conditioning back on temporarily to improve the situation.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off theair conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.












Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, firstventilate the passenger compar tment for a few moments. Put the air flow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in the passenger compartment. The air conditioning system does notcontain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.


The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a dischargeof water under the vehicle which is
perfectly normal.

Practical information
The fitting of electrical equipment or accessories which are not recommended by CITROËN may resultin a failure of your vehicle's electronicsystem and excessive electrical consumption.
Please note this precaution. Youare advised to contact a CITROËNrepresentative to be shown the range of recommended equipment and accessories.

Before installing any after-market radio communication transmitter, you can contact a CITROËN dealer for the specification of transmitters which canbe fitted (frequency, maximum power, aerial position, specific installationrequirements), in line with the VehicleElectromagnetic Compatibility Directive(2004/10 4/EC).


Depending on the legislation in force in the country, it may be compulsoryto have a high visibility safety vest, warning triangle and spare bulbs and fuses available in the vehicle. B

Checks
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin. Most of these fluids are harmful to

Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the servicingand warranty booklet and according to your
engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Before doing anything under the bonnet, switch off the ignition ( Readylamp off)to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of the engine.The presence o
f this label, in particular with
the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of
a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification. The involvement of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop is essential when replacing or disconnecting the
battery.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean
and correctly tightened, par ticularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for details of the precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection.

247Checks
6-speed electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require anymaintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the ser vicing and warranty
booklet for details of the checking interval for this component.
Brake wear depends on the st
yle
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor tdistances. It may be necessary tohave the condition of the brakes checked, evenbetween vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brakepads are worn.















Brake pads

For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
Electric parking brake
This system does not require anyroutine servicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
















Only use products recommended by CITROËN or products of equivalent quality and specification. In order to optimise the operationof units as impor tant as the braking system, CITROËN selects and offers
very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,or in wintry conditions, ice, can formon the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Make lightbrake applications to dry and defrostthe brakes.
