F

With the engine running, press button 1. The
activated/deactivated status when the engine was
switched off is retained when the engine is switched
on again.

The blade retracts automatically 3 seconds after switching
off the engine except in STOP mode of Stop & Start.

Activation / deactivation

F

With the engine running, adjust the

brightness of the information using
button 3

:

- towards the rear to increase the

brightness,

- towards the front to decrease the

brightness.

Brightness adjustment

We recommend that adjustments are

only made using these buttons when

the vehicle is stationary.

When stationary or while driving, no

objects should be placed around the

transparent blade (or on its cover) to

avoid blocking deployment of the blade

and preventing its correct operation.

In certain extreme weather conditions
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, ...)
the head-up display may not be legible
or may suffer temporary interference.
Some sunglasses may hamper reading
of the information.
To clean the transparent blade, use a
clean, soft cloth (such as a spectacles
cloth or microfibre cloth). Do not use
a dry or abrasive cloth or detergent or
solvent products as these could scratch
the blade or damage the anti-reflection
coating.

Height adjustment

F

With the engine running, adjust the display

to the required height using button 2:
- towards the rear to move the display up,
- towards the front to move the display

down.

Only use the cruise control if the traffic
conditions will allow you to drive for a
certain time at a steady speed and at a
safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
Do not activate the cruise control in
urban areas, in heavy traffic, on winding
or steep roads, on slippery or flooded
roads, or in conditions of poor visibility
(heavy rain, fog, falling snow...).
In some circumstances, it may not
be possible to maintain or reach the
programmed speed: towing, vehicle
heavily loaded, steep climb.

Switching off

You may have to brake to control the speed of
your vehicle. In this case, the cruise control is
automatically paused.
To activate the system again, press button 4.

Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed

F Turn wheel 1 to the "0"

position: the cruise

control information disappears from the
screen.

When required (overtaking manoeuvre...), it is
possible to exceed the programmed speed by
pressing the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is temporarily overridden
and the programmed speed setting flashes.

To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Once the vehicle has returned to the
programmed speed, the cruise control takes
over again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes steady again.

When descending a steep hill, the
cruise control system cannot prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.

Operating fault

Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the cruise
control system.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may interfere with the
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned

correctly,

- never fit one mat on top of another.

DS5_en_Chap04_conduite_ed02-2015

This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
which comes within the field of detection of
sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if they
are located in blind spots in the sensors' field
of detection.

Parking sensors

This system cannot in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.

Rear parking sensors

Audible assistance

The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which
increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.

visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the screen which move
progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed in the screen.

The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.

137

Driving

DS5_en_Chap04_conduite_ed02-2015

In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.

In the event of a malfunction of the
system, when reverse gear is engaged
this warning lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal (short beep).

Operating fault

In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in forward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

Front parking
sensors

The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITROËN).

deactivation / Activation of
the front and rear parking
sensors

The function is deactivated by pressing this
button. The indicator lamp in the button
comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the button
goes off.

The sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is in front or behind.

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

DS5_en_Chap04_conduite_ed02-2015

Reversing camera

The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The image from the camera is displayed in the
touch screen.
The reversing camera system may be
accompanied by parking sensors.

The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle.
The blue curved lines represent the maximum
turning circle.

The green lines represent distances of around
1 to 2 metres beyond the edge of the vehicle's
rear bumper.
The red line represents the distance of around
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
bumper.

The lines displayed in the screen do not
allow the position of the vehicle to be
determined relative to tall obstacles (for
example: vehicles nearby).
Some deformation of the image is
normal.

This system is a driving aid that does
not replace vigilance on the part of the
driver, who must remain in control of the
vehicle at all times.

High pressure jet washing

When cleaning your vehicle, keep the
end of the high pressure lance at least
30 cm from the camera lens.
Clean the camera lens regularly using
a soft cloth.
