Speed Electronic Gearbox System - CITROËN DS5 Owner's Handbook Manual

6-speed electronic gearbox system

Six-speed electronic gearbox system which
offers a choice between the comfort of fully
automatic operation or the pleasure of manual
gear changing.
There are two driving modes:
- automatic mode for automatic control of
the gears by the gearbox,
- manual mode for sequential gear changing
by the driver.
For each of these two modes, there is a
a Sport setting, corresponding to a more
dynamic driving style.
In automatic mode, it remains possible to
change gear manually by using the steering
mounted control paddles when required, when
overtaking, for example.
