Manual Mode - CITROEN DS4 Owner's Handbook Manual

Automated mode
 Select position A .
AUTO and the gear engaged
appear in the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox operates in auto-active mode,
without any action on the part of the driver. It
continuously selects the most suitable gear for:
- optimisation of fuel consumption,
- the style of driving,
- the profile of the road.
- the vehicle load.
For optimum acceleration, for example
when overtaking another vehicle, press
the accelerator pedal firmly past the
point of resistance.
Never select neutral N when driving.
Temporary control of gear
changing
You can temporarily take over control of
gear changing using the "+" and "-" steering
mounted paddles: if the engine speed allows,
the request to change gear is acted on.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations such as overtaking a vehicle or the
approach to a corner.
After a few moments without any action on
the control paddles, the gearbox resumes
automatic control of the gears.

Manual mode

 Select position M .
The gears engaged appear in succession in the
instrument panel screen.
The gear change requests are
only acted on if the engine speed
permits.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox
changes down automatically to allow the
vehicle to accelerate in the correct gear.
On sharp acceleration, the gearbox will not
change up unless the driver acts on the gear
lever or the steering mounted paddles.
You can change mode at any time by
moving the gear lever from A to M or
the other way round.
Never select neutral N while the vehicle
is moving.
