2016 Citroen DS5 HYBRID 4WD

The electronic power super visor (4)

manages the operation of the two power units,
HDi Diesel and electric, giving priority to low
fuel consumption.
The alternator-star ter motor (5)
assures
the Stop & Start
function, which allows the
HDi Diesel engine to be put into standby when
the vehicle is at a standstill (traffic lights, a
stop, or in a traffic jam...) or during phases of
running in 100% electric mode.
The stopping and restarting of the HDi Diesel
engine is done automatically and instantly
without any action on the part of the driver.
This alternator-starter motor also provides
additional charging of the high-voltage battery
by the HDi Diesel engine, if this not sufficiently
charged, or in 4WD
mode for example.
The 12 V batter y
, located under the bonnet,
powers the vehicle's conventional electrical
system. It is used for starting the HDi Diesel
engine and the operation of the vehicle's
equipment, such as the lighting, wipers, audio
system...
This 12 V battery is recharged automatically by
the high voltage network.

7Hybrid4 system

Compared to a manual gearbox, the ETG6
electronic gearbox (6)
provides, in automatic
mode, significant savings in fuel consumption,
through the electronic management of gear
changes.
The mode selector (8)
allows selection of the
four operating modes offered by the Hybrid4
system:


- AUTO
mode, which optimises fuel
consumption by automatically managing
the alternate or simultaneous use of the
two motors,

- ZEV
(Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode, which
provides 100% electric drive, when the
driving conditions and the state of charge
of the battery permit,

- SPORT
mode, which provides more
dynamic driving with additional
performance,

- 4WD
(4 Wheel Drive) mode, which
improves traction at low speed when grip is
poor (snow, mud, sand...).

Mode selector


The selector allows the driver to select one of the four operating modes offered by the Hybrid4
system.


)
Turn the dial to the right or left; the mode selected is confirmed by illumination of the
corresponding indicator lamp.



ZEV
mode: for 100% electric running.

SPORT
mode: to make use of the maximum
per formance of the vehicle.


4WD
mode: to force 4x4 drive in conditions of
poor grip.


AUTO
mode: for everyday use and optimised
fuel consumption.
By default, the selector is in the AUTO
position when starting the Hybrid4 system, whatever
position it was in when the ignition was switched off.


AUTO mode


This mode is designed to optimise the vehicle's
fuel consumption by managing the alternate
or simultaneous operation of the two motors
according to the conditions and driving style.
When conditions allow, an adequate battery
state of charge and moderate acceleration, the
alternator-starter motor stops the HDi Diesel
engine to provide 100% electric running.

21Hybrid4 system

This mode will be even more effective if
the vehicle is fitted with suitable tyres,
such as winter tyres.



SPORT mode
(Diesel and
electric)
4WD mode
(4 - wheel drive)

This mode allows more dynamic driving by
providing additional performance
.
By using the capacity of the electric motor
to supplement the power of the HDi Diesel
engine, the vehicle's full power is used for
acceleration and pick-up.
This mode manages the response of the
accelerator, the electronic gearbox and the use
of the electric motor.
In SPORT
mode:


- the electric motor as an addition is
available up to 75 mph (120 km/h).


This "4-wheel drive" mode provides additional
traction
at low speed by driving all four wheels
of the vehicle simultaneously: the HDi Diesel
engine (front wheel drive) and the electric
motor (rear wheel drive) operate simultaneously
and permanently.
Their coupling is managed electronically to
optimise traction when grip is poor.
In 4WD
mode:


- the HDi Diesel engine operates
continuously; if necessary, it supplies
energy for the electric motor,

- the additional traction from the electric
motor is available up to 75 mph (120 km/h).

This mode should be used on snow
covered roads or difficult ground (mud,
sand, ...), as well as for crossing a ford,
at moderate speed.
In this mode, in severe conditions
and if the circumstances allow, it is
recommended that you accelerate
strongly to facilitate moving off and
making progress and so reduce the risk
of getting stuck.

This mode is available whatever:


- the state of charge of the high
voltage battery,

- the altitude.

Driving recommendations


Obser ve the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.



Driving on flooded roads


We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the internal combustion engine or electric
motor, the electronic gearbox, or the electrical
systems of your vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through water:


- check that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,

- place the mode selector in the 4WD

position,

- drive as slowly as possible without
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph
(10 km/h),

- do not stop and do not switch off the
engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.



Important!


Never drive with the parking brake
applied - Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass,
dead leaves...) might come into
contact with the hot exhaust system
or certain components of the Hybrid4
system which can reach very high
temperatures - Risk of fire!

Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised
with the engine running. If you have
to leave your vehicle with the engine
running, apply the parking brake
and put the electronic gearbox into
position N
.

Recovery of the vehicle on a fl at-bed


Never recover the vehicle by towing it with two or four wheels on the ground, as there is a risk of
damage to the transmission.
However, if necessary because access to the vehicle is difficult, the vehicle can be moved a few
dozen metres, at a speed of less than 6 mph (10 km/h).

Use the towing eye only
to pull the vehicle out
or to lash it for recovery on a flat-bed lorry or
trailer.

Before doing any work, with the ignition on, press the brake pedal and place the gear selector at
position N
, then switch off the Hybrid4 system ( READY
lamp off).
Always call on professionals for recovery of the vehicle on a flat-bed lorry or trailer.









Snow chains


Recommendations


The use of snow chains is only authorised on
the front wheels.
The mode selector must be in the
4WD
position.

For information on the sizes
compatible with the tyres on your
vehicle and advice on use, refer to the
corresponding section in the handbook
for the vehicle.
