charging Citroen DS5 HYBRID4 2013 1.G Owner's Manual

29Hybrid system
Main parts of the Hybrid4 system

The HDi Diesel engine - 1
, located at the front,
drives the front wheels and provides most of
the power needed to drive the vehicle.
It i
s fitted with the Stop & Start
system - 5which recharges the batteries and provides
additional power when needed (in 4x4 mode).

Th
e electric motor - 2
, located at the
rear, drives the rear wheels on its own, or
supplements the Diesel engine, according to
the hybrid mode selected.
It recovers energy and charges the batteries
during phases of deceleration of the vehicle
and is active up to 70 mph
(120 km/h).
A 200 V NI-MH hi
gh voltage battery - 3,provides a source of energy for the rear electric
motor.
Its charging rate is managed automatically by
the vehicle during phases of deceleration.It is located in a compar tment in the boot, access to which is restricted to trained servicetechnicians.
The batter
y state of charge
is indicated
by 8 horizontal or vertical bars (depending on
the screen).

Th
e conventional battery, located under the ybonnet, powers the vehicle's 12 V systems. It is recharged automatically by the high voltage
network.

Reducing consumption - Fuel
QuestionAnswer
How can I optimise m
y fuel consumption? Give preference to Auto mode as it selects in the best way the "driving energy source" to use in
order to reduce fuel consumption.
You should also adapt
your driving style to the characteristics of hybrid vehicles to get the best
out of it, for example by taking your foot off the accelerator pedal rather than braking and by
anticipating decelerations (entering a built-up area, stop at traffic lights, stop at halt signs, ...).
Wh
y do I not manage to reduce my fuel consumption even though I often drive in ZEV(Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode?It is not ZEV mode but Auto mode that is the most appropriate
for reducing fuel consumption, as it selects the best "driving energy source".
ZEV mode (10 0% electric operation) can reduce fuel consumption in some cases. However,
recharging the traction battery has an energy cost.
This is why we recommend using Auto mode more often.
Wh
y does the trip computer sometimes displaythe bars for 28 mpg (10 litres) consumption in
town? The current fuel consumption displa
yed may appear high when the distance covered is very low,
but this generally has very little impact and the true average fuel consumption will remain low.
In town, your hybrid retains very good fuel economy (of the order of 35% better than a non-hybrid
vehicle).
Wh
y is my battery rarely fully charged? A partly charged battery is normal operation (4 to 5 bars on average in Auto mode).
This allows some capacity to be left free for the recovery for energy when going downhill or takingwhen your foot off the accelerator.
Wh
y are there so may fuel aler t messages whenstarting to use the reser ve?To e n c o u r age you to refuel as soon as possible and avoid the loss of hybrid functions.

200 V high voltage battery
The 200 V high voltage battery cannot berecharged from a mains supply.
The battery is Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) and is located below the boot floor, close to the electric motor.

Charging


The battery is charged when the vehicle
decelerates, the electric motor then becomes
a
generator and conver ts kinetic energy intoelectrical energy (except if the speed of the
vehicle is above 70 mph (120 km/h)).
The battery is not recharged from a mains
supply.
The battery may also be charged automatically
when required b
y the Stop & Start system of
the Diesel engine.
This recover
y allows the use of "free" energy.
The battery charging time is very shor t and iscontinuous.
A discharged battery (following ZEV running or high load, for example) will quickly return to astate of charge sufficient for full operation of the
different hybrid modes.
The charging takes place automaticallywhen driving.
The energy recovery can be faster during deceleration.
The average state of charge is 4 to 5 bars, sopreserving a margin for energy recovery when
deceleration of going downhill (free energy).
To preser ve the ser vice life of thebattery, the level of charge never fallsbelow 20 %, even if a level of 0 bars is displayed after ZEV running. Where the battery is close to maximum, vehicle deceleration with your foot off the accelerator pedal will be at a lower level.

Visibility

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.

Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between theoccupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hamper the operation of the airbags or injure the occupants. After an accident or if the vehicle has beenstolen or broken into, have the airbagsystems checked. All work on the airbag system must be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms when an airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. Thebag inflates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then deflates within the sametime discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment the lateral airbags. For information on the range of seatcovers suitable for your vehicle, you can contact a CITROËN dealer. Refer to the "Accessories" section.Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause injuryto the chest or arms if the lateral airbag isdeployed.Do not sit with the upper par t of the body anynearer to the door than necessary.


Front airbags

Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on thedashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:



Curtain airbags

Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. Thiscould cause injury to the head if the cur tainairbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they playa par t in securing the cur tain airbags.

Practical information




12 V battery
The presence of this label indicates the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery withspecial technology and specification, for which the involvement of a CITROËNdealer or qualified workshop is requiredwhen replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation may cause premature wear of the battery.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 (+)

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

Do not apply excessive force on the tab as locking will not be possible if the clamp is not positioned correctly; star tthe procedure again.
Before doing any work on your vehicle,
switch off the ignition ( Readylamp off)to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of the engine. Y
our vehicle is fitted with a conventional 12 V
battery, located under the bonnet, in addition
to the hi
gh voltage battery used by the hybridsystem.
In cer tain conditions, if the 12 V battery is
too discharged to activate the hybrid system,
recharging from another conventional 12 V battery is possible.
Do not carry out this recharge if the Readylamp is on.
Procedure
for star ting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.



Disconnecting the (+) cable

After refitting the battery, theStop & Start system will only be active after several hours depending on the climatic conditions and the state of charge of the battery (up to about 8 hours). When
your vehicle's battery is discharged, theengine can be star ted using a slave battery(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead cables.
Starting using another
battery

First check that the slave battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacityat least equal to that of the discharged battery. Do not try to star t the engine by connecting 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 a fewminutes.
) Operate the star ter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run
If the engine does not star t straight away, switch off the ignition and wait a few
moments before trying again.) Wait until the engine returns to idle then
disconnect the jump lead cables in the
reverse order.

)Disconnect the battery from the vehicle.)Follow the instructions for use provided by
the manufacturer of the charger.)Connect the battery starting with thenegative terminal (-).)Check that the terminals and connectorsare clean. If they are covered with sulphate (whitish or greenish deposit), remove themand clean them.











Charging the battery using
a battery charger

227Practical information
Do not attempt to charge the high voltage battery.
The batteries contain harmful substances such as sulphuric acid and lead. They mustbe disposed of in accordance with regulations and must not, in any circumstances, bediscarded with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and vehicle batteries to a special collectionpoint.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle is to be left unused for more than one month.


Protect your eyes and face before handling the battery. All operations on the battery must becarried out in a well ventilated area andaway 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 onlya 12 V charger. Do not disconnect the terminals whilethe engine is running. Do not charge the batteries withoutdisconnecting the terminals first.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Do not push the vehicle to star t the engine if the vehicle is fitted with the electronic gearbox.







Before disconnecting the battery

Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ignition
before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows and the doors before
disconnecting the battery.

ANSWER SOLUTION
With the engine off, the system switches off after a few minutes of use.When the en
gine is switched off, the system's operating time depends on
the battery charge.
The switch-o
ff is normal: the system switches to economy mode and
switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's en
gine to increase the batterycharge.
