2015.5 Citroen DS5 HYBRID4 parking brake

109
Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This system only operates when:
-
t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-

c
ertain gradient conditions are met,
-

w
ith the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a
momentarily when you release the brake pedal:
- provided you are in first gear or neutral with a manual gearbox,
-

p
rovided you are in position d or M with an
automatic gearbox.
Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held momentarily when you
release the brake pedal.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp and the warning
lamp P in the lever of the electric
parking brake control are on fixed (not
flashing).
Operating fault
If a fault in the system occurs, these warning
lamps come on. Contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.

Six speed automatic gearbox which offers a
choice between the comfort of fully automatic
operation, enhanced by sport and snow
programmes, and the pleasure of manual gear
changing.
Two driving modes are offered:
-

operation for electronic
management of the gears by the gearbox,
with a sport programme for a more
dynamic style of driving and a snow
programme to improve driving when
traction is poor,

Moving off
When the engine is running at idle,
with the brakes released, if position R ,
d

or M is selected, the vehicle moves
even without the accelerator being
pressed.
Never leave children unsupervised in
the vehicle when the engine is running.
When carrying out maintenance with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake and select position P .
If the parking brake does not release
automatically, check that the front doors
are fully closed.
Never select position n while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Automatic operation
F Select position d for automatic changing
of the six gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any intervention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the selector, press the accelerator pedal down
fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or maintains the gear selected
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not change to a higher gear for
safety reasons.
If position
n
is engaged inadvertently
while driving, allow the engine to
return to idle then engage position
d

to

accelerate.
If you do not press the brake pedal
when trying to move the gear selector
out of position P

If the parking brake is on and automatic mode
is activated, accelerate progressively.

Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, put the selector
in position P or n to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
to automatic mode.
If the selector is not in position P ,
when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off, there is an
audible signal and a message appears.

eturn the selector to position P ;
the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen to indicate a
gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P
to R and from
n to R. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. You risk damaging the gearbox:
-

i
f you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
-

i
f you force the selector from
position P to another position when
the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam...), position
the gear selector at
n and apply the
parking brake, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode.

Stop & Start
Operation
going into engine STOP mode
The "E cO" warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-

w

ith a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h) or vehicle stationary with
the THP 210 petrol and BlueHDi 115 and
120 Diesel versions, when you place the
gear lever in neutral and you release the
clutch pedal,
-

w

ith an automatic gearbox , vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or put the gear selector in position
n
.I

f your vehicle is fitted with the
system, a time counter calculates
the sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It resets itself
to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the START/STOP
button.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the START/STOP button.
For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not affect the
operation of vehicle systems such as
braking, power steering...
The Stop & Start
system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, ...). The engine
restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.

Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- t he vehicle is on a steep slop (rising or
falling),
-

t

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and not slippery.
Apply the parking brake unless it has
been programmed to automatic mode,
switch off the ignition and engage first
gear* to block the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamp
and the P warning lamp in the parking
brake control lever come on.
If necessary, place a chock against
the wheel opposite the wheel to be
changed.
The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.List of operations
F Depending on equipment, remove the protective cover from from each of bolts using the tool 3 or remove the wheel trim using tool 4 .
F

F

F

S

* Position P for an automatic gearbox.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.
F

A

wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.

ove off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50
km/h).
F

S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted
with alloy wheels, check that no part of
the chain or its fixings is in contact with
the wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size.215/60 R16 9 mm
225/50 R17
235/45 R18 cannot be fitted with
snow chains
235/40 R19
For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
