2014 Citroen DS5 RHD fuel

Limit the causes of excess consumption


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.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.



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.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and
obser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.



When refuelling, do not continue after the third 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.

a fault. Risk of destruction of the catalytic converter.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

fixed. The emission control system has
a fault.
The warning lamp should go off when the engine is started.
If it does not go off, contact a CITROËN dealer or
qualified workshop without delay.




Low fuel level


fixed with the two
last bars flashing,
accompanied by a
message and an
audible signal. When it first comes on there remains
approximately 6 litres of
fuel
in the
tank. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out of fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition
is switched on, accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, until a sufficient addition of fuel is
made.
This audible signal and message are repeated with
increasing frequency as the fuel level drops and
approaches "0".
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 60 litres.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel as
this could damage the emission control and injection
systems.

47Monitoring
System allowing certain screens to be switched
off for night driving (available only with
eMyWay).
The instrument panel remains on with the
vehicle speed, electronic gearbox gear
selected, cruise control or speed limiter
information, if in use, and the low fuel alerts if
necessary.
If there is an alert or a change in a function
or to a setting, the black panel mode is
interrupted.

telematics" section.

Tr i p c o m p u t e r


System that gives you information on the journey in progress (range, fuel consumption…).




When the trip required is displayed, press
the control for more than two seconds
or use the left hand thumb wheel of the
steering mounted controls.
Trips "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.

51Monitoring
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 from
20 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).









Stop & Start time
counter
(minutes / seconds or hours /
minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time
counter calculates the time spent in STOP
mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the START/STOP button.

Fuel tank

Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres

.

Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of
air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results
from the sealing of the fuel system.



Take care to select the pump that delivers
the correct fuel type for your vehicle's
engine (reminder on a label on the inside of
the filler flap).


Open the filler cap by turning it a 1/4 turn to
the left.


Remove the filler cap and hang it on its
carrier (on the filler flap).

Opening


If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have have
the tank drained and refilled with
the correct fuel before you star t the
engine.








With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the START/STOP
button.


Refuelling



Introduce the nozzle and push it in fully
(pushing open the non-return valve A
on
petrol vehicles).


Fill the tank (don't continue past the third
cut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause
malfunctions).


Refit the filler cap turning it a 1/4 turn to the
right.


Push the filler flap to close it.

Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter
which reduces harmful emissions in the
exhaust gas.
The filler neck is narrower and allows only
petrol nozzles to be used.

For a petrol engine, the use of unleaded fuel
is
compulsory.



Press the switch
This switch remains active for a few minutes
after switching off the ignition. If necessary,
switch the ignition on again to reactivate it.

73Access

Low fuel level


When the low fuel level in the tank is
reached, this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible warning and a message in
the instrument panel screen.
When it first comes on, around 6 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this
warning lamp appears every time the ignition
is switched on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message. This audible signal
and message are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops and
approaches "0".
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.


Fuel supply cut- of f

Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision. It remains possible to use a fuel can to
fill the tank.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can
in direct contact with the flap of the
misfuel prevention device and pour
slowly.
















Misfuel prevention (Diesel) *

Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of
engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling.

Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.




Operation



Travelling abroad

As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different
in other countries, the presence of the misfuel
prevention device may make refuelling
impossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend that
you check with the CITROËN dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel
pumps in the country in which you want to travel.
