2013 Citroen DS5 run flat

Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main servicebrake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc) a continuouspull on the control lever A
will stop the vehicle.
The Dynamic Stability Control system provides stability during emergency braking.
If the emer
gency braking malfunctions, themessage "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed.
)Take the vehicle blocks and the release
device, located under the boot carpet.
)On sloping ground, secure the vehicle by placing chocks in front or behind the front
wheels, on the falling side of the slope.
The emergency braking must only be used in exceptional circumstances.
I
f a failure of the DSC system is
signalled by the illumination of this
warning lamp, then braking stability is
not guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"actions on the control lever A.








Emergency release

In the event of the electric parking brake
malfunctioning or the battery running flat, an emergency manual device can release the
parkin
g brake. ) Immobilise the vehicle:


- by engaging first gear (manual gearbox),

- with the engine running, position P(automatic gearbox) or Mor R

; the audible signal stops and the message disappears.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message appears in the instrument panel screen to indicate agearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd
gear. You may feel a substantial knock when changing from Pto R
and from Nto R. This will not cause anydamage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h), local speedrestrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
You risk damaging the gearbox:


- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time,

- if you force the lever from position Pto another position when the batteryis flat.

To reduce fuel consumption whenstationary for long periods with theengine running (traffic jam...), position
the gear lever at Nand apply theparking brake, unless it is programmed in automatic mode.

)Turn the selector Ato the "air" position.)Uncoil the black pipe Hfully. )Connect the black pipe to the
valve of the wheel.
) Connect the compressor's electric plug to
the vehicle's 12 V socket.) Star t the vehicle again and leave the engine running.

)Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to inflate: switch B
in position "I"
; to deflate: switch B
in position "O"and press button C), in accordance with the vehicle's
tyre pressure label (located on the left hand
door aperture).
A loss of pressure indicates that the
puncture has not been fully plugged; contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified
workshop for assistance.)Remove and stow the kit.
)Drive at reduced speed (50 mph [80 km/h] max) limiting the distance travelled toapproximately 120 miles (200 km).

Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certainfunctions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates cer tain functions, such as the air conditioning,
the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conserve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you canstill use functions such as the audio and
telematics system, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, cour tes
y lamps, etc. for a maximum combined duration of about forty minutes.








Energy economy mode
Switching to economy mode

A message then appears in the instrument panel screen indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode and the active
functions are put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this time,it will be maintained for around 10 minutes with
