light Citroen DS3 2010 1.G Service Manual

Manual operation
D disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession on the instrument panel. In the event of the engine labouring or over-revving, the gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time. When the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1automatically. The spor t and snow programmes do not operate in manual mode.
Invalid value during manual operation
 Select position M for sequential changing of the four gears.  Push the lever towards the + sign to change up a gear.  Pull the lever towards the - sign to change down a gear. It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speed permit; other wise, the gearbox will operate temporarily in automatic mode.
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (selector between two positions).
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can engage position P or N to place the gearbox in neutral. In both cases, apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
When the ignition is on, the lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the multifunction screen, indicates a gearbox malfunction. In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a substantial knock when changing from P to R RRand from N to R . This will not cause any damage to the gearbox. Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions permitting. Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
Operating fault
If the lever is not in position P , Pwhen the driver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, a message appears in the multifunction screen.  Return the lever to position P ; the
message disappears.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox: - if you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time, - if you force the movement of the gear lever from the P position to another
position when the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at a prolonged standstill with the engine running (traffic jam...), put the gear lever in the N position and apply the parking brake.

157Driving
Stop & Start
The Stop & Star t system puts the engine temporarily on standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restar t takes place instantly, quickly and silently. Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Star t system reduce s fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as off ering the comfor t of silence when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
For your comfor t when parking, 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 braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby:
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h), put the gear lever into neutral, then release the clutch pedal,
A time counter calculates the sum of the periods in STOP mode during a journey. It rests itself to zero every time the ignition is switched on with the key.
STOP mode is not invoked when: - the driver's door is open, - the driver's seat belt is not fastened, - the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph (10 km/h) since the last engine star t using the key, - the engine is needed to maintain a comfor table temperature in the passenger compar tment, - demisting is active, - some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance, ambient temperature...) where the engine is needed to assure control of a system.
Special cases: STOP mode unavailable
The "ECO" warning lamp flashes for a few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is per fectly normal.

175Checks
Diesel additive level
(Diesel engine with particle
emission filter)
A low additive level is indicated by lighting of the ser vice warning lamp, accompanied by an audible warning and a message on the multifunction screen.
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a CITROËN
dealer without delay.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin. Most of these fluids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground. Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer (France) or an authorised waste disposal site.

187Practical information
Putting the wheel back in place
 Put the box back in place in the centre of the wheel and clip it.  Put the polystyrene storage box back in place.  Refit the boot floor carpet by lightly folding it in the middle (refer to the section "Fittings - § Storage box").
 Put the wheel back in its housing.  Unscrew the yellow central bolt by a few turns then place it in the centre of the wheel.  Tighten fully until the central bolt clicks to retain the wheel correctly.
On vehicles equipped with a "space-saver" type spare wheel, the punctured wheel can be stowed in place of the "space-saver" wheel; however the boot
floor will not then be flat.

Interior lighting
Interior lamp (1/W5W)
Detach the cover of the interior lamp 1 with a thin screwdriver, close to the button, to access the faulty bulb.
Map reading lamps (2/W5W)
Detach the cover of the interior lamp 1 . To access the faulty bulb, detach the par tition for the reading lamp 2 concerned.
Boot lamp (W5W)
Detach the unit by pushing it rear wards.
Footwell and central storage illumination (W5W)
Detach the unit for access to the bulb.

Towing a trailer, a caravan, etc.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer or caravan with additional lighting and signalling. Your vehicle is primarily designed for transpor ting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.
We recommend the use of genuine CITROËN towbars and their harnesses that have been tested and approved from the design stage of your vehicle,
and that the fitting of the towbar is entrusted to a CITROËN dealer. If the trailer is not fitted by a CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using the electrical pre-equipment installed at the rear of the vehicle, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significant stress and its driver must be par ticularly careful.

213Practical information
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
 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 towing load must be reduced by 10 % and so on for every 1 000 metres of altitude. Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details of the weights and towing loads which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind
 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.  To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed. The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
Tyres
 Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the recommended pressures.
Lighting
 Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
 If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
