Coolant temperature
gauge
With the hybrid system active: - in zone A , the temperature is correct, - in zone B , the temperature is too high; the central STOP warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so. Wait a few minutes before switching off the engine. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
After driving for a few minutes, the temperature and pressure in the cooling system increase. To top up the level: wait for the engine to cool, unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop, when the pressure has dropped, remove the cap, top up the level to the "MA X" mark.
Be aware of the risk of burns when topping up the cooling system. Do not fill above the maximum level (indicated on the reservoir).

Back-up mechanical key
Unlocking/locking using the integral key
The integral key is used to lock and unlock the vehicle when the electronic key cannot operate: - cell battery flat, vehicle battery discharged or disconnected, ... - vehicle located in an area with strong electromagnetic signals. Maintain a pull on button 1 , to extract the integral key 2 .
Complete unlocking
Turn the key towards the front of the vehicle to unlock the vehicle.
Normal locking
Turn the key towards the rear of the vehicle to lock the vehicle completely.
Deadlocking

With the ignition on or the hybrid system active, to release the parking brake, press the brakepedal , pull then release control lever A . The full release of the parking brake is confirmed by:
Manual release
- the braking warning lamp and the P warning lamp in the control lever A going off, - the display of a message.
If you pull the control lever A without pressing the brake pedal, the parking brake will not be released and a message appears in the instrument panel.
If necessary, you can make a maximum application of the parking brake. It is obtained by means of a long pull on control lever A , until you see a message and an audible signal is heard. Maximum application is essential: - in the case of a vehicle towing a trailer, if the automatic functions are activated but you are applying the parking brake manually, - when the slope you are parked on may vary (e.g. on a ferry, on a lorry, during towing).
Maximum application
In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle or parking on a gradient, make a maximum application of the parking brake then turn the front wheels towards the pavement and engage a gear when you park. After a maximum application, the release time will be longer.
Before leaving the vehicle, check that parking brake warning lamps in the instrument panel and the control lever Aare on fixed, not flashing.
With the vehicle stationary, to apply the parking brake whether the hybrid system is active or not, pull control lever A .
Manual application
The application of the parking brake is confirmed by:
- illumination of the braking warning lamp and of the P warning lamp in the control lever A , - the display of a message.
When the driver’s door is opened with the hybrid system active, there is an audible signal and a message is displayed if the parking brake has not been applied.

Reversing camera
A reversing camera is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged. The colour image is provided in the navigation screen.
The green lines represent the general direction of the vehicle. The red lines represent around 30 cm beyond the limit of your vehicle's rear bumper. The audible signal becomes continuous from this limit. The blue lines represent the maximum turning circle.
Clean the reversing camera regularly using a sponge and a soft cloth. When cleaning the vehicle with a high pressure jet wash, keep the end of the lance at least 30 cm from the camera.
This system is a driving aid that does not
replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver, who must remain in control of the vehicle at all times.
DS5-HYBRID_EN_CHAP05_VISIBILITE_ED02-2013
The sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are switched on automatically, without any action on the part of the driver, when a low level of external light is detected or in certain cases of activation of the windscreen wipers. As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers are switched off, the lamps are switched off automatically.
Automatic illumination of headlamps
Activation
Turn the ring to the "AUTO" position, automatic illumination of headlamps is activated and a message is displayed in the screen.
Deactivation
Turn the ring to another position. Deactivation is accompanied by a message in the screen.
Association with the automatic "Guide-me-home" lighting
Association with the automatic lighting provides the "guide-me-home" lighting with the following additional options after the ignition is switched off: - selection of the lighting duration of 15, 30 or 60 seconds in the vehicle parameters in the vehicle configuration menu, - automatic activation of "guide-me-home" lighting when automatic illumination of headlamps is in operation.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the sunshine sensor, the lighting comes on, this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient light. In this case, the lighting will not come on automatically. Do not cover the sunshine sensor, coupled with the rain sensor and located in the centre of the windscreen behind the rear view mirror; the associated functions would no longer be controlled.
DS5-HYBRID_EN_CHAP05_VISIBILITE_ED02-2013
Parking lamps
Side markers for the vehicle by illumination of the sidelamps on the traffic side only. Within one minute of switching off the ignition, operate the lighting control stalk
up or down depending on the traffic side (for example: when parking on the left; lighting control stalk upwards; the right hand sidelamps are on). This is confirmed by an audible signal and illumination of the corresponding direction indicator warning lamp in the instrument panel. To switch off the parking lamps, return the lighting control stalk to the middle position or switch on the ignition.
Temporarily keeping the dipped beam headlamps on after the vehicle's ignition has been switched off makes the exit of the vehicle's occupants easier when the light is poor.
Manual guide-me-home
lighting
Switching on
Within one minute after switching of the ignition, "flash" the headlamps using the lighting stalk. A further "headlamp flash" switches the function off.
Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting switches off automatically after a set time (this time is programmable in the configuration menu).
The system may suffer interference or not work correctly: - under conditions of poor visibility (for example, snowfall, heavy rain or thick fog, ...), - if the windscreen is dirty, misted or obscured (by a sticker, ...) in front of the camera, - if the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs.
The system is not able to detect: - road users that do not have their own lighting, such as pedestrians, - road users whose lighting is obscured, such as vehicles running behind a safety barrier (on a motor way, for example), - road users at the top or bottom of a steep slope, on twisty roads, on crossroads.
Dynamic stability control (DSC) and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started. As soon as they detect a problem of grip or trajectory, these systems act on the operation if the engine and brakes.
This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the DSC and ASR, so that the wheels can turn freely and regain grip.
Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp and the lamp in the deactivation button, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, indicate a fault with the system.
Reactivation
The systems are reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h). Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate them manually:
Press this button.
The indicator lamp in the button comes on. The DSC and ASR systems no longer act on the operation of the engine and on the brakes in the event of a involuntary change of trajectory.
Press this button again. Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of grip permits.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
