2014.5 Citroen C5 service

Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked,
even between vehicle services.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must be
checked, even between two services.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.

EMERGENCY OR ASSIST ANCE CALL
CITROËN Localised Emergency Call
In an emergency, press this button for more than
2 seconds. Flashing of the green LED and a voice
message confirm that the call has been made to
the
CITROËN Localised Emergency Call centre*.
Pressing this button again immediately cancels the call. The green LED
goes off.
Pressing this button (at any time) for more than 8 seconds cancels
the

call.
CITROËN Localised Assistance Call
When the ignition is switched on, the green
LED comes on for 3 seconds indicating
that the system is operating correctly.
If the orange LED flashes: there is a
system fault.
If the orange LED is on continuously:
the backup battery must be replaced.
In either case, contact a CITROËN dealer.
Pressing this button again immediately cancels the request.
The cancellation is confirmed by a voice message.
Press this button for more than 2 seconds to request
assistance if the vehicle breaks down.
A voice message confirms that the call has been made*.
Operation of the system
The green LED remains on (without flashing) when communication is
established. It goes off at the end of communication.
This call is dealt with by the CITROËN Localised Emergency Call centre
which receives locating information from the vehicle and can send a
detailed alert to the appropriate emergency services. In countries in
which the team is not operational, or when the locating service has
been expressly declined, the call is dealt with directly by the emergency
services (112) without the vehicle location.
If an impact is detected by the airbag control unit, and
independently of the deployment of any airbags, an emergency
call is made automatically.

Receiving TA messages
The TA (Traffic Announcement) function gives priority to TA alert

interrupted automatically to play the TA message. Normal playback
of the audio source resumes at the end of the transmission of
the message. Press RADIO to display the menu.
Select "Service announcements" then
confirm.
Activate or deactivate "TA " then confirm.
The volume setting for TA messages can be adjusted only during the

the button.
During a message, press the button to interrupt it.

USING THE TELEPHONE
Pairing a Bluetooth telephone
First connectionFor reasons of safety and because they require prolonged attention
on the part of the driver, the operations for pairing the Bluetooth
mobile telephone to the hands-free system of the audio unit must be
carried out with the vehicle stationary.
In the Bluetooth menu of your telephone, select the
name "CITROËN" from the list of devices detected. Press this button.
Select "Bluetooth functions" and
confirm.
Select "Peripherals search " and
confirm.
The list of peripheral devices detected
is displayed. Wait until the "Connect"
button is available.
You can check the compatibility of your telephone at

www.citroen.co.uk (services).
Activate the telephone's Bluetooth function
and ensure that it is "visible to all" (telephone
configuration).
Quick procedure from the telephone
Enter a minimum 4 figure code in the telephone and
confirm.
Enter the same code in the system,
select "OK" and confirm. Procedure from the system

USING THE TELEPHONE
Select "Connect" and confirm.
The system offers to connect the
telephone:
-
in "
Hands-free mode" (telephone
only),
-

in "
Audio" mode (streaming: playing
music files on the telephone),
-

or "
All" (for selection of both
modes).
Select "OK" and confirm. Then accept automatic connection on the telephone to allow the
telephone to reconnect automatically every time the vehicle is
started.
The ability of the system to connect in only one mode depends on
the telephone. The two modes may both connect by default. The "Hands-free mode" should be used in preference if
"Streaming" is not desired.
The services available depend on the network, the SIM card and the compatibility of the Bluetooth telephone used. Check the telephone
manual and with your network provider for details of the services available to you.
Depending on the type of telephone, the system will ask you to
accept or not the transfer of your contacts.
On return to the vehicle, the last telephone connected
automatically reconnects, within around 30 seconds after
switching on the ignition (Bluetooth activated and visible).
To modify the automatic connection mode, remove the pairing
and pair the telephone again with the desired mode.
Enter a minimum 4 figure code in the telephone
and confirm.
Enter the same code in the system,
select "OK" and confirm.
Select the name of the desired
peripheral from the list of devices
detected then confirm.
