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

The electronic power super visor - 4automatically manages the operation of the twopower units (Diesel and electric) to provide the
lowest consumption.
An inverter and a transformer are needed to manage the electric power.
The inver ter acts on the torque of the electric
motor, by regulating the current coming from
the high voltage battery pack. Its operatingrange is between 150 and 270 volts.
The transformer converts the 200 V of thebattery pack to 12 V, to power the vehicle'sancillary systems.
The Stop & Start system - 5allows the Dieselengine to be put into standby during stops(traffic lights, a stop, or in a traffic jam, for example) or during phases of running in all-electric mode.
The stopping and restar ting of the Diesel engine is done in a way that is instantaneous
and transparent for the driver.
The electronic gearbox - 6
provides, in
automatic mode, significant savings in fuelconsumption compared to a conventional manual gearbox, thanks to its electronic control system.
It also offers improved driving pleasure with
the possibility at any time of choosing the gear changing mode: automatic or manual, using the paddles located behind the steering wheel.

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.
