AUTO disappears and the gears
engaged appear successively in the
instrument panel screen. The gear change instructions are only carried
out if the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox
changes down automatically to permit
acceleration in the correct gear.
This selective gear change mode enables you
to overtake, for example, while still remaining in
automatic mode.
F

paddle.
The gearbox engages the gear requested if the
engine speed permits. AUTO is still displayed
in the instrument panel.
After a few moments without any action on
the controls, the gearbox resumes automatic
control of the gears.
Manual mode
At very low speed, if reverse gear is
requested, this will only be taken into
account when the vehicle is immobilised
(foot on the brake). A warning lamp
appears in the instrument panel screen.
On sharp acceleration in manual mode,
the gearbox will not change up unless
the driver acts on the gear lever or the
steering mounted paddles.
Never select neutral N while the vehicle
is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R when the
vehicle is immobilised with the brake
pedal pressed.

You must press the brake pedal when
starting the engine.
Whatever the circumstances, you must
manually apply the parking brake when
parking, unless the parking brake is
programmed in automatic mode.
When immobilising the vehicle, with
the engine running, you must place the
gear lever in neutral N
.
Before carrying out any work in the
engine compartment, check that the
gear lever is in neutral N and that the
parking brake is applied.
Stopping the vehicle
With the ignition on, the flashing of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
in the instrument panel screen,
indicates a malfunction of the
gearbox.
Before switching off the engine, you can
choose to:
-

m

ove to position N to engage neutral,
-

l

eave the gear engaged; in this case, it will
not be possible to move the vehicle.
In both cases, you should apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle, unless it is
programmed in automatic mode.

Under-inflation alert
The alert is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.

top as soon as it is safe to do so. The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the service warning
lamp indicates a fault with the system.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(for example, a space-saver or steel
spare wheel).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have the
original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted. In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
F

I

f you have a compressor (the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit for example),
check the four tyre pressures when cold.
I

f it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed.

F

I

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment). Any tyre repair or replacement on a wheel
fitted with this system must be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not detected
by your vehicle (fitting snow tyres for example),
you must have the system reinitialised by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

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 BlueHDi 115 and 120 versions, when
you place the gear lever in neutral and you
release the clutch pedal,
-

w

ith an electronic gearbox, at speeds
below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press
the brake pedal or put the gear lever in
position


N,
-

w

ith an automatic gearbox, vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or put the gear lever in position N .If 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
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
The Stop & Start
system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
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.

System which automatically maintains the cruising speed of the vehicle at a setting programmed by
the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
The operation of the cruise control can be
interrupted (pause):
-

b

y pressing control 4 or by pressing the
brake or clutch pedal,
-

a

utomatically, if operation of the dynamic
stability control system is triggered. As a safety measure, you are advised
to keep your feet near the pedals at all
times.

DS5_en_Chap04_conduite_ed01-2015
Only activate the cruise control if the
traffic conditions will allow you to drive
for a certain time at a steady speed
and at a safe distance from the vehicle
ahead.
Do not activate the cruise control in
urban areas, in heavy traffic, on winding
or steep roads, on slippery or flooded
roads, or in conditions of poor visibility
(heavy rain, fog, falling snow...).
In some circumstances, it may not
be possible to maintain or reach the
programmed speed: towing, vehicle
heavily loaded, steep climb.
Switching off
You may have to brake to control the speed of
your vehicle. In this case, the cruise control is
automatically paused.
To activate the system again, press button 4.Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
F Turn wheel 1 to the "0" position: the cruise
control information disappears from the
screen.
When required (overtaking manoeuvre...), it is
possible to exceed the programmed speed by
pressing the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is temporarily overridden
and the programmed speed setting flashes.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Once the vehicle has returned to the
programmed speed, the cruise control takes
over again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes steady again.
When descending a steep hill, the
cruise control system cannot prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
Operating fault
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the cruise
control system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
-

e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.
