2016 Citroen DS5 engine

A set of the following Electronic Stability
systems:
-
an
ti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
emer

gency braking assistance,
-
wh

eel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
-
dy

namic stability control (DSC).
Electronic stability control (ESC)
definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBF
d)
These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards improved control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking
assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This system (also known as Traction Control)
optimises traction in order to avoid wheel
slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
dynamic stability control
(dSc)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by the
driver, this system monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.

and anti-slip regulation
(ASR)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation if
the engine and brakes.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
deactivation
O perating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp and
the lamp in the deactivation button,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, indicate a fault with
the system.
Reactivation
F Press this button.
T he indicator lamp in the button
comes on.
The DSC and ASR systems no longer act
on the operation of the engine and on the
brakes in the event of a involuntary change of
trajectory. F
Pr

ess this button again.
The indicator lamp in the button
goes off.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the DSC and ASR, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
The systems are reactivated automatically each
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30
m
ph (50 km/h).
Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate
them manually:

Repair procedure
F Switch off the ignition.F
Un
coil the white pipe G fully.
F Un screw the cap from the white pipe.
F Co nnect the white pipe to the valve of the
tyre to be repaired. F
Co

nnect the compressor's electric plug to
the vehicle's 12 V socket.
F St art the vehicle and leave the engine
running.
Take care, this product is harmful
(e.g. e thylene-glycol, colophony...) if
swallowed and causes irritation to the eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of
children.Avoid removing any foreign bodies
which have penetrated into the tyre.
1. Sealing
F Turn the selector A to the "sealant"
p osition.
F
Ch

eck that the switch B is in
position "O" .
The vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of a compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
repair or for inflating a small inflatable
accessory.

You must inform the technician that you
have used this kit. After inspection, the
technician will advise you on whether
the tyre can be repaired or if it must be
replaced.

into the environment, take it to an
authorised waste disposal site or a
CITROËN dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealant
cartridge, available from CITROËN
dealers or from a qualified workshop.

General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and must
not, in any circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection
point.
If your vehicle has an automatic
gearbox, do not try to start the engine
by pushing the vehicle.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The battery (-) terminal is not accessible.
A remote earth point is provided at the front of
the vehicle.
For access to it:
F
un

clip the plastic cover, located alongside
the left-hand headlamp.

Starting using another
battery
Never try to start the engine by
connecting a battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
First check that the slave battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off the electrical consumers on
both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, ...).
Ensure that the jump lead cables do
not pass close to moving parts of the
engine (cooling fan, belts, ...).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when
the engine is running.F
St

art the engine of the vehicle with the
good battery and leave it running for a
few
mi
nutes.
F Op erate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
If t

he engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition and wait a few
moments before trying again.
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead
cables or a battery booster.
F
Wa
it until the engine returns to idle then
disconnect the jump lead cables in the
reverse order.
F
Re

fit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if
your vehicle has one.
F
Al

low the engine to run for at least
30
m

inutes, by driving or with the vehicle
stationary, so that the battery reaches an
adequate state of charge.
F
Ra

ise the plastic cover on the (+) terminal,
if your vehicle has one.
F
Co

nnect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of the flat battery A (at the metal
elbow) then to the positive terminal
(

+) of the
slave battery B or the booster.
F
Co

nnect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery B or the booster (or earth
point on the other vehicle). Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
F
Co

nnect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point
c o
n the broken
down vehicle.
