2014 Citroen DS5 wiper

157Visibility











Automatic rain sensitive
windscreen wipers
The windscreen wipers operate automatically,
without any action on the part of the driver, if
rain is detected (sensor behind the rear view
mirror), adapting their speed to the intensity of
the rainfall.

Switching on

Briefly push the control stalk
downwards.
A wiping cycle confirms that the
instruction has been accepted. Briefly push the control stalk
downwards again, or place the
control stalk in another position
(Int, 1 or 2).

Switching off


The automatic rain sensitive windscreen
wipers must be reactivated by pushing
the control stalk downwards, if the
ignition has been off for more than
one minute. This warning lamp goes off in the instrument
panel and a message is displayed. This warning lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and a message is displayed.

Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with
the sunshine sensor and located in the
centre of the windscreen behind the rear
view mirror.
Switch off the automatic rain sensitive
wipers when using an automatic car wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until the
windscreen is completely clear of ice
before activating the automatic rain
sensitive wipers.



Operating fault

If a fault occurs with the automatic rain
sensitive wipers, the wipers will operate in
intermittent mode.
Have it checked by CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.










Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This position permits release of the windscreen
wiper blades.
It is used for cleaning or replacement of the
blades. It can also be useful, in winter, to
detach the blades from the windscreen.
To maintain the effectiveness of the
"flat-blade" type of wiper blades, it is
advisable to:


- handle them with care,

- clean them regularly using soapy
water,

- avoid using them to retain
cardboard on the windscreen,

- replace them at the first signs of
wear.





Any action on the wiper stalk in the minute
after switching off the ignition places the
blades vertically on the screen.


To park the blades again, switch on the
ignition and operate the wiper stalk.

Dashboard fuses

The fusebox is placed in the lower dashboard
(left-hand side).

Load reduction mode

System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain 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 conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio and
telematics system, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, courtesy 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
the Bluetooth hands-free system of your audio
system.


Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated automatically
next time the vehicle is driven.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:


- for less than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately five minutes,

- for more than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for up to approximately
thirty minutes.
