Battery Citroen DS5 2013 1.G Owner's Guide

The system is reactivated automaticallyat every new star t using the STA R T/STOP button.

Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF"switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and a
message in the screen.

Operating fault

In the event of a fault with the system, the
"ECO OFF"
switch warning lamp flashes thencomes on continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come on.
Depending on version, an alert message mayalso be displayed, asking you to place the gear lever in position Nand put your foot on the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition
and star t the engine again using the "STA R T/STOP" button.

Before doing anything under the bonnet,deactivate the Stop & Start system toavoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of START mode.
This s
ystem requires a 12 V battery with a special specification and technology (reference numbers available from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of the system.
For charging, use a 12 V charger and do not
reverse the polarity.

Maintenance


The Stop & Star t system makes use of advanced technology. For any work onthe system go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment required, which a CITROËN dealer is able toprovide.

141Visibility

Lighting left on audible signal
An audible signal when a front door
is opened warns the driver that the vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with theignition off and in manual lighting mode.
In this case, switching off the lighting stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped headlamps remain on, the vehicle goes into "ECO" mode to avoid discharging the battery.

In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal sur face of theglass of the headlamps and rear lampsis normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.

The daytime runninglamps can be activated and deactivated via the configuration menu.



The lighting goes off when you switchoff the ignition, but you can always switch it on again using the lighting control stalk.
Daytime running lamps
(LEDs)
They come on when the engine is star ted.
Depending on the country of sale or whererequired by regulations, they are used for:
- daytime running lamps in day mode andsidelamps in night mode (they are brighter
when daytime running lamps), or
- sidelamps in day and night mode.

12 V battery
The presence of this label indicatesthe use of a 12 V lead-acid battery withspecial technology and specification, for which the involvement of a CITROËN dealer or qualified workshop is requiredwhen replacing or disconnecting thebattery.
Failure to observe this recommendation may cause premature wear of thebattery. The battery is located under the bonnet.
To
gain access to it:)
open the bonnet using the interior releaselever, then the exterior safety catch, )
remove the plastic cover on the (+)
terminal,) if necessary, unclip the fusebox to remove
the battery.

Access to the battery



Disconnecting the (+) cable
)Raise the locking tab Dfully to release the cable terminal clamp E
.



Reconnecting the (+) cable
)Position the open clamp Eof the cable on
the positive post
(+) of the battery. )Press ver tically on the clamp E to positionit correctly on the battery. )Lock the clamp by spreading the positioning lug and then lowering the tab D.

Do not apply excessive force on thetab as locking will not be possible if the clamp is not positioned correctly; star tthe procedure again. Procedure
for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.

211Practical information

After refitting the battery, the Stop &Start system will only be active after several hours depending on the climaticconditions and the state of charge of the battery (up to about 8 hours).


The Stop & Start battery does not have to be disconnected for charging.
Starting using another
battery


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.
Do not try to star t the engine byconnecting a battery charger.
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when the engine is running.
)Connect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of the flat battery A , then to the positive terminal (+) of the slave battery B
.)Connect one end of the green or blackcable to the negative terminal (-) of the slave battery B
(or ear th point on the other
vehicle).)Connect the other end of the green or black cable to the ear th point Con the broken
down vehicle (or on the engine mounting).)Star t the engine of the vehicle with the good battery and leave it running for afew minutes.
) Operate the star ter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run

Charging the battery using
a battery charger

When your vehicle's battery is discharged,
the engine can be star ted using a slave battery (external or on another vehicle) and jump leadcables.

The batteries contain harmful substances such as sulphuric acid and lead. They must be disposed of in accordancewith regulations and must not, in anycircumstances, be discarded with household
waste. Take used remote control batteries and vehicle batteries to a special collection point.
It is advisable to disconnect the batteryif the vehicle is to be left unused for more than one month.
Do not push the vehicle to star t the engine if you have an electronicgearbox or automatic gearbox.


Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery. All operations on the battery must becarried out in a well ventilated area and away from naked flames and sourcesof sparks, so as to avoid the risk of explosion or fire.
Do not try to charge a frozen battery; the battery must first be thawed out to avoid the risk of explosion. If the batteryhas been frozen, before charging have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop who will check that the internal components have not beendamaged and the casing is not cracked,which could cause a leak of toxic and corrosive acid. Do not reverse the polarity and use only
a 12 V charger.
Do not disconnect the terminals whilethe engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries withoutdisconnecting the terminals first.
Wash your hands after wards.








Before disconnecting the battery

Referring to the corresponding section,you must yourself reinitialise (depending on
version):


- the remote control key,

- the electric blind(s),- ...

213Practical information








Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certainfunctions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates cer tain functions, such as the air conditioning,
the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conserve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you canstill use functions such as the audio and
telematics system, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, cour tes
y lamps, etc. for a maximum combined duration of about forty minutes.








Energy economy mode
Switching to economy mode

A message then appears in the instrument panel screen indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode and the active
functions are put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this time,it will be maintained for around 10 minutes with
the Bluetooth hands-free system of your audio
system.


Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated automatically
next time the vehicle is driven.) In order to resume the use of thesefunctions immediately, star t the engine and
let it run:
- for less than ten minutes, to use
the equipment for approximatelyfive minutes,
- for more than ten minutes, to use theequipment for up to approximately
thirty minutes.

Let the engine run for the duration specified toensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restar t theengine in order to charge the battery.
A flat battery prevents the engine from star ting (refer to the "Battery" section).
