2014 Citroen DS5 stop start

12 V battery







The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification;
the involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop is essential
when replacing or disconnecting the
battery. The battery is located under the bonnet.
To gain access to it:



open the bonnet using the interior release
lever, then the exterior safety catch,


remove the plastic cover on
the (+) terminal,


if necessary, unclip the fusebox to remove
the battery.








Access to the battery



Disconnecting the (+) cable




Raise the locking tab D
fully to release the
cable terminal clamp E
.



Reconnecting the (+) cable




Position the open clamp E
of the cable on
the positive post (+) of the battery.


Press vertically on the clamp E
to position
it correctly on the battery.


Lock the clamp by spreading the
positioning lug and then lowering the tab D
.
Do not apply excessive force on the
tab as locking will not be possible if the
clamp is not positioned correctly; start
the procedure again.

Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.

223Practical information

After refitting the battery, the Stop &
Start system will only be active after a
continuous period of immobilisation of the
vehicle, a period which depends on the
climatic conditions and the state of charge
of the battery (up to about 8 hours).
With Stop & Start, the battery does not
have to be disconnected for charging.












Starting using another
battery

First check that the slave battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
Do not try to start the engine by
connecting a battery charger.
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when
the engine is running.



Connect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of the flat battery A
, then to the
positive terminal (+) of the slave battery B
.


Connect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery B
(or earth point on the other
vehicle).


Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point C
on the broken
down vehicle (or on the engine mounting).


Start the engine of the vehicle with the
good battery and leave it running for a
few minutes.

Operate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run
If the engine does not star t straight away,
switch off the ignition and wait a few
moments before trying again.


Wait until the engine returns to idle then
disconnect the jump lead cables in the
reverse order.



Disconnect the battery from the vehicle.


Follow the instructions for use provided by
the manufacturer of the charger.


Connect the battery starting with the
negative terminal (-).


Check that the terminals and connectors
are clean. If they are covered with sulphate
(whitish or greenish deposit), remove them
and clean them.













Charging the battery using
a battery charger
When your vehicle's battery is discharged,
the engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead
cables.

225Practical information








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.
Let the engine run for the duration specified to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the
engine in order to charge the battery.
A flat battery prevents the engine from starting
(refer to the "Battery" section).

Opening the bonnet


Opening




From inside
: pull the release lever, located
on the left below the dashboard, towards
you.





Before doing anything under the
bonnet, switch off the Stop & Start
system to avoid any risk of injury
resulting from an automatic change to
START mode.


Closing




Lower the bonnet and release it at the end
of its travel.


Check that it is latched correctly.



From the outside
: lift the safety catch and
raise the bonnet.
A bonnet strut opens the bonnet and holds it
open.


Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water
(rain, washing, ...) be limited.

Checks













12 V battery


The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check that the terminals
are clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.






The presence of this label, in particular with
the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of
a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification. The involvement
of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
is essential when replacing or disconnecting
the battery.
Unless other wise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
maintenance and warranty guide and according
to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for details of the
precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection.

QUESTION



ANSWER



SOLUTION


When streaming, the
sound cuts momentarily. Some telephones prioritise connection of the "hands-free" profi le. Delete the "hands-free" connection profi le to
improve streaming.
In "Random all" play,
not all of the tracks are
played. In "Random all" play, the system can only take into account up to
999 tracks.
With the engine off, the
audio system switches
off after a few minutes
of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio system operating time
depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio system switches to economy mode
and switches off to prevent discharging the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
The message "the audio
system is overheated"
appears on the display. In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is too
high, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal protection mode
leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the CD. Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
