ECO mode Citroen DS3 2011 1.G Owner's Guide

The system is reactivated automatically
at every new star t using the key.


Reactivation

This system requires a battery with a special
specification and technology (reference
numbers available from a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN introduces the risk of malfunction of
the system. In the event of a malfunction with the system,
the "ECO OFF"
switch warning lamp flashes,
then comes on continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall. It is then necessary to switch
off the ignition and star t the engine again using
the key.


Operating fault
Maintenance

Before working under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from
automatic operation of START mode.
The Stop & Star t system makes use of
advanced technology. All work on this
battery must be done by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. Press the "ECO OFF"
switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off,
accompanied by a message in the screen.

)
Turn thumb wheel 1
to the "LIMIT"

position: the speed limiter mode is
selected but is not switched on (PAUSE).
You do not have to switch the speed limiter on
in order to set the speed.


)
Set the speed value by pressing button 2

or 3
(e.g.: 55 mph (90 km/h)).


Programming

You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2
and 3
:


- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = shor t press,

- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,

- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.


)
Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4
.

)
Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4
: the display
confirms that it has been switched off (PAUSE).

)
Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4
again.



Exceeding the programmed speed

Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed will not have
any effect unless you press the pedal firmly
past the point of resistance
.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed,
which is still displayed, flashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or
unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the
flashing of the programmed speed. On a steep descent or in the event of sharp
acceleration, the speed limiter will not be
able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- do not fit one mat on top of another.



Leaving limiter mode



)
Turn thumb wheel 1
to the "0"
position:
the speed limiter mode is deselected. The
display returns to the distance recorder.



Operating fault

In the event of a speed limiter fault, the speed
is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

171Driving





Cruise control

System which automatically maintains the
speed of the vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h), as well as the engagement of:


- four th gear on a manual gearbox,

- second gear on a SensoDrive or automatic
gearbox, in sequential mode,

- position A
on a SensoDrive gearbox or
position D
on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
manually
or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or
on triggering of the ESP system for safety
reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value. The controls of this system are grouped
together on stalk A
.

Steering mounted controls

The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need to respect speed limits,
nor can it replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the par t of the driver.
The programmed information is grouped
together in the instrument panel screen.

Programming



)
Turn thumb wheel 1
to the "CRUISE"

position: the cruise control mode is
selected but is not switched on (PAUSE).

)
Set the programmed speed by accelerating
to the required speed, then press button 2
or
3
(e.g.: 70 mph (110 km/h)).
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2
and 3
:


- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = shor t press,

- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,

- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.


)
Switch off the cruise control by pressing button 4
: the screen
confirms that it has been switched off (PAUSE).

)
Switch the cruise control back on by pressing button 4
again.



Exceeding the programmed speed

Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed speed results
in flashing of this speed in the screen.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional
deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the speed.


Leaving cruise control mode



)
Turn thumb wheel 1
to the "0"
position: the cruise control mode is
deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.



Operating fault

In the event of a cruise control malfunction,
the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the
dashes. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
When the cruise control is switched on,
be careful if you maintain the pressure on
one of the programmed speed changing
buttons: this may result in a very rapid
change in the speed of your vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on
slippery roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep descent, the cruise control will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- never fit one mat on top of another.

)
Lower the vehicle fully.

)
Fold the jack 2
and detach it.
)
Tighten the security bolt (if your vehicle is
fitted with them) using the wheelbrace 1

fitted with the socket 4
.

)
Tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1
only.

)
Refit the chromed bolt covers on each of
the bolts (with alloy wheels only).

)
Store the tools in the box.



RACING tyres


Driving in winter conditions

The 215/40 R18 89W tyres fitted as standard
are not suitable for sever winter conditions.
CITROËN recommends that you use suitable
winter tyres during periods of very cold
weather.
If you want to fit snow chains or anti-
skid covers to your vehicle, contact
a CITROËN dealer for advice on the
models recommended for your vehicle.

219Practical information








Energy economy mode
System which manages the period of use of cer tain functions to conser ve a sufficient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps, cour tesy
lamps, etc. for a maximum combined period of thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if
the battery is not fully charged.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting (refer to the corresponding
paragraph). If the telephone is being used at
the same time on the MyWay audio
navigation system, it will be interrupted
after 10 minutes.


Switching to economy mode

Once this period has elapsed, a message
appears on the multifunction screen indicating
that the vehicle has switched to economy mode
and the active functions are put on standby.

Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated automatically
the next time the vehicle is driven.


)
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, star t the engine and
let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be double
the period for which the engine is left running.
However, this period will always be between
five and thir ty minutes.

The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount.
Warning: towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for
each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load.
