To switch between electric and hybrid modes, use the mode selector button located on the center console. The display on the dashboard will indicate the current mode.
Citroën recommends servicing the DS5 Hybrid4 every 12,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Regular checks should include the battery, brakes, and hybrid system diagnostics.
To improve fuel efficiency, drive smoothly, use the regenerative braking feature, and ensure your tires are properly inflated. Regular maintenance also helps optimize performance.
If the hybrid battery fails to charge, check if the charging cable is properly connected and inspect for any visible damage. If the problem persists, consult a Citroën service center.
To reset the service light, turn the ignition to the ON position, hold down the trip meter reset button, and switch the ignition off. Continue holding the button until the display shows the reset confirmation.
Citroën recommends using synthetic 5W-30 oil for the DS5 Hybrid4 to ensure optimal engine performance and protection.
First, try restarting the system by turning the ignition off and on. If the issue persists, check for software updates or consult a Citroën technician if further assistance is needed.
Signs of a failing hybrid battery include decreased fuel efficiency, the engine running more frequently, warning lights on the dashboard, and reduced power output.
To ensure longevity, follow the recommended maintenance schedule, avoid deep discharges of the battery, and keep the vehicle's software updated.
To jump-start, connect the positive cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery, then connect the other end to the positive terminal of the power source. Connect the negative cable to the negative terminal of the power source and the other end to the vehicle chassis. Start the engine of the power source, then the DS5.
