engine Citroen DS4 RHD 2015.5 1.G Owner's Guide

If one of the doors or the boot is still
open or if the electronic key for the
Keyless Entry and Starting system has
been left inside the vehicle, the central
locking does not take place.
However, the alarm (if present) will be
fully activated after about 45 seconds.As a safety measure (children on
board), never leave the vehicle without
taking the key for the Keyless Entry
and Starting system, even for a short
period.
Be aware of the risk of theft when the
key for the Keyless Entry and Starting
system is in one of the defined zones
with the vehicle unlocked.
In order to preserve the battery in the
electronic key and the vehicle's battery,
the "Hands-free" functions are put into
long-term standby after 21 days without
use. To restore these functions, press
one of the remote control buttons or
start the engine with the electronic key
in the reader (see the "Starting with
the Keyless Entry and Starting system"
section).
If the vehicle is unlocked by mistake
and with no action on the doors or boot,
the vehicle will lock again automatically
after about thirty seconds.
If the alarm had been activated
previously, it will not be reactivated
automatically.
The automatic folding and unfolding
of the door mirrors can be deactivated
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Do not throw the remote control batteries away, they contain metals which are harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection point.
Lost keys, remote control, electronic key
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration certificate, your personal identification documents and if possible, the label bearing
the key code.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve the key code and the transponder code required to order a new key.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock
the vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from
working and the remote control would have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition, even when the ignition is switched off.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key from the ignition or take the electronic key when you leave the vehicle, even
for a short time.
Electrical interference
The Keyless Entry and Starting electronic key may not operate if close to certain electronic devices: telephone, laptop computer, strong
magnetic fields, ...
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could cause malfunctions.
Don't forget to turn the steering to engage the steering lock.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the keys in your possession are the only ones which can start
the vehicle.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very
high, first ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F

T

o obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
F

D

o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the air conditioning system.
F

O

perate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.
F

E

nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
W

e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F

T

o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
F

I

f the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability. The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
per fectly normal.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is running. To maintain
a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, you can temporarily deactivate
the Stop & Start system (see the corresponding section).

Manual air conditioning
The air conditioning system operates only with the engine running.
1. Temperature adjustment
F Turn the dial to select a position between blue (cold)
and red (hot) so as to adjust
the temperature to your
requirements.
2. Air flow adjustment
This dial is used to increase or
decrease the speed of the air
booster fan.
3. Air distribution adjustment
This dial is used to arrange the distribution of
air in the passenger compartment by combining
several air outlets.
F

I

f you place the air flow control
in position 0 , the system is
deactivated. However, a slight flow
of air, due to the movement of the
vehicle, can still be felt.
F

T

urn the dial from position 1 to position 5 to
obtain a comfortable air flow. Windscreen and side windows.
Windscreen, side windows and
footwells.
Footwells.
Central and side vents.
The air distribution can be
adapted by placing the dial in an
intermediate position.
Avoid driving too long with the
ventilation off (risk of misting and
deterioration of air quality).
