Drive
The gearbox always selects the gear best adapted to the following parameters:
- s t y l e o f d r i v i n g ,
- r o u t e p r o fi l e ,
- v e h i c l e l o a d .
In this way the gearbox operates in autoadaptive mode, without the need for your intervention.
For certain manoeuvres (for example overtaking), it is possible to ob tain maximum acceleration by pressing hard down on the accelerator pedal, which may trigger automatic changedown to a lower gear.
Note
During braking, the gearbox may kick down automatically in order to offer an effective engine brake.
If you rapidly lift your foot off the accelerator, the gearbox will guard your safety by not changing up again.

Proximity sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers of your vehicle.
When manoeuvring, whether forwards or in reverse, at a speed below approx. 6 mph, they warn you of the presence of any obstacle situated within their detection zone, by means of:
- a s o u n d s i g n a l e m i t t e d b y t h e f r o n t or rear loudspeakers,
- t h e d i s p l a y o f t h e o u t l i n e o f y o u r vehicle with shading at the zones where obstacles are detected.
As the vehicle approaches an obstacle, the sound signal tells you its position according to whether the sound issues from the front LH or RH speaker or from the rear LH or RH speaker.

Operation:
- When you engage reverse gear, a sound signal informs you that the system is active. The outline of your vehicle is displayed on the screen. Any obstacles situated at the rear or at the front of the vehicle can be detected.
- Moving forward at a speed lower t h a n a p p r o x . 1 0 k m / h ( 6 m p h ) , either in neutral or in a gear, the outline of your vehicle is displayed on the screen immediately an obstacle is detected in front of the vehicle. Obstacles situated at the front of the vehicle can be detected.
When selecting reverse gear, a short audible sig-nal followed by another audible signal, accom-panied by the illumination of the SERVICE warning lamp indicates a malfunction of the system.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
