automatic transmission PEUGEOT 4C 2015 User Guide

Race (sports driving mode [D]).
This also acts on the dynamic car control systems (engine,
gearbox/transmission, ESC system).Driving Modes
The Alfa DNA system lever will always return to the
center position after use.
The selected driving mode is indicated by the corre-
sponding LED switching in the panel and by an indica-
tion on the display.
Dynamic Mode
Activation
Move the Alfa DNA system lever upwards (to the letter
“D”) and hold in this position for half a second, until the
corresponding LED lights up and the Dynamic mode
activation indicator appears on the display.
When Dynamic mode is activated, the turbocharger
pressure and engine oil temperature screen is displayed
automatically. When released, the Alfa DNA system lever
will return to the central position.

164 STARTING AND OPERATING

NOTE:Dynamic Mode will be inhibited until the vehicle
has accumulated 155 miles (250 km).
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Anti-Slip Regu-
lation (ASR) systems:
The ESC and ASR system ensures more enjoyable,
sportier driving while guaranteeing the stability of the
car.
Electronic Q2 system:
The system increases vehicle stability while accelerating
on bends, improving the agility of the car.
Engine And Gearbox/Transmission:
The system adjusts the transmission shift calibration for
sportier shifting.
NOTE:In Dynamic mode, the engine response to the
accelerator pedal position increases considerably. Conse-
quently, driving is less fluid and comfortable.Deactivation
To deactivate Dynamic mode and return to Natural,
move lever downwards (to letter “A”) and keep it in this
position for half a second.
The LED corresponding to Natural mode will light up
and the Natural mode activation indication will appear
on the display.
Race Mode
Activation
Move the Alfa DNA system lever upwards (to the letter
“D”) and hold in this position for five seconds, until the
Race mode activation indicator appears on the display.
When Race mode is activated, the longitudinal/lateral
accelerometer indicator screen (G-meter information) is
displayed automatically. This considers gravitational ac-
celeration (G).

STARTING AND OPERATING 165

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Anti-Slip Regu-
lation (ASR) systems:
These systems are deactivated in order to ensure the
fullest sensation of sport, leaving the driver in full control
of the vehicle. When the vehicle is in unstable conditions,
the ESC reactivates automatically when the brake pedal
is pressed until the ABS intervenes, thus returning the
vehicle to stable conditions. To deactivate the ESC and
ASR systems reactivate Race mode.
Electronic Q2 system:
The system increases vehicle stability while accelerating
on bends, improving the agility of the car.
Engine And Gearbox/Transmission:
The system adjusts the transmission shift calibration for
sportier shifting.NOTE:In Race mode, the sensitivity of the accelerator
pedal increases considerably. Consequently, driving is
less fluid and comfortable.
In Race mode the transmission only works in MANUAL
mode. Refer to theManual OperationinStarting and
Operatingfor further information.
Deactivation
To deactivate Race mode and return to Dynamic mode,
move the Alfa DNA system lever downwards (to letter
“A”) and keep it in this position for half a second.
The LED corresponding to Dynamic mode will light up
and the Dynamic mode activation indication will appear
on the display.
