"Hydractive III +" electronic suspension
The suspension automatically and instantly
adjusts to different driving styles and to
the profile of the road, providing the best
compromise between occupant comfort and
vehicle road holding.
The system alternates between soft and firm
suspension settings, maximising comfort at the
same time as constantly ensuring the highest
level of safety. It also automatically corrects
ride height, according to the vehicle load and
driving conditions.
In addition, the "Hydractive III +" system
allows you to choose between two modes of
suspension.
A change of suspension mode can be made
either when the vehicle is moving or when
stationary, by pressing button A.
Display in the instrument panel
The suspension mode selected is displayed in
the instrument panel screen.
Normal mode
This mode favours soft damping for
maximum comfort.
If the speed authorised for a
particular position is exceeded, the
vehicle reverts automatically to the
normal road position.
SPORT mode
This mode favours dynamic driving. T
he warning lamp on button A comes
on in addition to the message in the
instrument panel screen.
SPORT mode is retained when you
switch off the engine.
Vehicle positions
Position changes may only be made when
the engine is running.
The adjustable ground clearance meets all
types of situation. Apart from a few specific
situations, the vehicle should be in the Normal
position.

controls.

Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Activation
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Your vehicle has a system to improve traction
on snow: intelligent traction control
.
This system detects situations of low adhesion
that might make moving off and progress
difficult on deep fresh snow or compacted
snow.
In these situations the intelligent traction
control system regulates the amount of wheel
slip to optimise the traction and trajectory
control of your vehicle.
For vehicles with Hydractive III + suspension,
manual adjustment of ground clearance to
the intermediate position improves further the
ability to make progress in deep snow (see the
relevant paragraph).
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces with low adhesion.
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction to prevent skidding
of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability control acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on the engine
to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required
by the driver, within the limits of the laws of
physics.
Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.

C5_en_Chap08_information_ed01-2014
If your vehicle is fitted with a spare
wheel of a different size to those on the
vehicle, you must not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) whilst using the spare wheel.
The wheel bolts are specific to the type
of wheel.
If the type of wheel is changed,
check with your CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop that the wheel bolts
are compatible with the new wheels.
Take care to note down the code
number engraved on the head of the
security bolt socket. This will enable
you to obtain a replacement security
bolt socket from your dealer.
