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
pply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.
F

F
it the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F

M
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.

General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the towed vehicle and must have a valid driving
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an approved towing
arm; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any power assistance for
braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call on a professional recovery service:
-
v
ehicle broken down on a motor way or fast road,
-
f

our-wheel drive vehicle,
-

w
hen it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or release
the parking brake,
-

t
owing with only two wheels on the ground,
-

w
here there is no approved towing arm available...

driving advice
distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without
exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine per formance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f the warning lamp and
the
STOP warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and switch
off the engine as soon as
possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.

Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear Electric parking brake
This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.
For more information, refer to the "Electric
parking brake - Operating faults" section.

Moving off
For more information on the ETG6 electronic gearbox and the electric parking brake, refer to the corresponding sections in the handbook for the vehicle.
You can change the operating mode of the Hybrid4 system at any time using its mode selector. Driving in ZEV mode requires that particular conditions be met.
When your vehicle vehicle moves off in electric mode, it makes no noise. Be very careful of pedestrians, cyclists... as, because of this, they will not hear you coming.
Head-up display
The colour of the speedometer varies according to the drive train used: - white display: Diesel engine running, - blue display: Diesel engine s t o p p e d .
Using automatic mode with the electronic gearbox optimises gear changes and so gives more economical driving.
 If automatic operation of the electric parking brake has been deactivated, pull the control lever to release the parking brake manually.  Progressively release the brake pedal. If the parking brake is released, the vehicle then moves off. If the parking brake is still applied and is in automatic mode, accelerate progressively.
 Move the gear selector to position A(automatic mode) or M (manual mode) or R ( r e v e r s e ) .

DS5Hy4_en_Chap00c_hybride_ed01-2015
Switching off the Hybrid4
system
 Immobilise the vehicle.  Place the gear selector in position N .  Make a short press (about one second) on the " START/STOP " button. The Hybrid4 stops: - the RE ADY lamp goes off, RE ADY lamp goes off, RE ADY
- the steering column locks, - the electric parking brake is applied automatically, unless its automatic mode is deactivated.  Check that the parking brake warning lamps are on.  Remove the electronic key from the reader.
Before doing anything under the bonnet, the Hybrid4 must be switched off ( RE ADY lamp off) and the electric RE ADY lamp off) and the electric RE ADYparking brake must be applied.
Check that the RE ADY lamp is off RE ADY lamp is off RE ADYbefore leaving the vehicle. Never leave the electronic key in the vehicle in your absence.
For reasons of safety and theft protection,
do not leave your electronic key in the vehicle, even when you are close to it. It is recommended that you keep it on your person.
Switching the ignition on
With the electronic key in the reader or the Keyless Entry and Starting key inside the vehicle, pressing the " START/STOP " button, with no action on the brake pedal , allows the ignition to be switched on.
 Press the " START/STOP " button, the instrument panel comes on but the Hybrid4 system does not start up.
With the ignition on, the system goes into energy economy mode when necessary to maintain the state of charge of the battery.
 Press this button again to switch off the ignition and so allow the vehicle to be l o c k e d .
