DS5-HYBRID_EN_CHAP00C_HYBRIDE_ED02-2013
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aperture, driver's side. Carry out this check in particular: - before a long journey, - at each change of season, - after a long period out of use.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of operations recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
When refuelling, do not continue after the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after 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; place the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats. Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce 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

DS5-HYBRID_EN_CHAP01_CONTROLE DE MARCHE_ED02-2013
If dashes are displayed continuously while driving in place of the digits, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
This value may vary following a change in the style of driving or the relief, resulting in a significant change in the current fuel consumption.
Trip computer, a few definitions…
Range
(miles or km) This indicates the distance which can still be travelled with the fuel remaining in the tank in relation to the average fuel consumption over the last few miles (kilometres) travelled.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km), dashes are displayed. After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
This function is only displayed from20 mph (30 km/h).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l) This is the average fuel consumption during the last few seconds.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l) This is the average fuel consumption since the last trip computer zero reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h) This is the average speed calculated since the last trip computer zero reset
(ignition on).
Reset history
 With trip 2 displayed, press the button (on the end of the wiper stalk) for more than two seconds to reset the history to zero.
Tr i p s "1" and "2" are independent but their use is identical. For example, trip "1" can be used for daily figures, and trip "2" for monthly figures.

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 well as 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 month to keep it in per fect working order.  Ensure that the passenger compartment 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 the occupants 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 have it checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.  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 the air 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, first ventilate the passenger compartment 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 not contain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the vehicle which is per fectly normal.

 Switch off the demisting/defrosting of the rear screen and door mirrors as soon as appropriate, as lower current consumption results in reduced fuel consumption.
Front Demist -
Defrost Rear screen and door mirrors demist -
defrost
 It is possible to stop the demisting/defrosting operation before it is switched off automatically by pressing the button again. The indicator lamp associated with the button goes off.
Automatic visibility programme Switching on
With Stop & Start, when demisting has been activated, the STOP mode is not available.
Switching off
The demisting/defrosting switches off automatically to prevent an excessive consumption of current.
 Select this programme to demist or defrost the windscreen and side windows as quickly as possible.
The system automatically manages the air conditioning, air flow and air intake, and provides optimum distribution towards the windscreen and side windows.  To stop the programme, press either the "visibility" button again or "AUTO" , the indicator lamp in the button goes off and the indicator lamp in the "AUTO" button comes on. The system starts again with the values in use before it was overridden by the visibility programme.
 Press this button (located on the air conditioning system control panel) to demist /defrost the rear screen and the door mirrors. The indicator lamp associated with the button comes on.
The rear screen demisting - defrosting can only operate when the hybrid system is active.

Tyre under-infl ation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving. The system continuously monitors the pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the vehicle is moving. A pressure sensor is located in the valve of a each tyres (except the spare wheel). The system triggers an alert if a drop in pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
This system does not avoid the need to check the tyre pressures regularly (including the spare wheel) and before a long journey. Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding, extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear, particularly under arduous conditions (vehicle loaded, high speed, long journey).
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure label (see the "Identification markings" section). The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then 6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed). Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the values indicated on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases fuel consumption.
The tyre under-inflation detection system is an aid to driving which does not replace the need for the driver to be vigilant or to drive responsibly.

DS5-HYBRID_EN_CHAP10_CARACTERISTIQUES_ED02-2013
Identifi cation markings Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.
A.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) under the bonnet. This number is engraved on the bodywork near the damper support.
The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold, at least once a month.
The rear quarter light cannot be etched as it is made of polycarbonate material.
B. Vehicle identification Number (VIN) on the windscreen lower cross member. This number is indicated on a self-adhesive label which is visible through the windscreen.
C. Manufacturer's label. The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying label affixed to the door aperture, on the passenger's side.
D. Tyre/paint label. This label is affixed to the centre pillar, on the driver's side.
It bears the following information: - the tyre inflation pressures with and without load, - the tyre sizes, - the inflation pressure of the spare wheel, - the paint colour code.
The use of snow chains is only authorised on the front wheels. The selector must be in 4WD mode.
If the tyre pressures are too low, this increases fuel consumption.
