There are two driving modes:
- 
a
 utomated  mode for automatic control 
of the gears by the gearbox, without any 
action on the part of the driver
-
 
m
 anual mode for sequential gear changing 
by the driver using the gear lever or the 
steering mounted paddles.

Rear parking sensorsSystem comprising four proximity sensors, located in the rear bumper.
This detects obstacles (person, vehicle, tree, 
gate, etc.) behind the vehicle. However, it 
cannot detect obstacles located just below the 
b u m p e r.
Activation
The system is activated as soon as reverse 
gear is engaged, accompanied by an audible 
signal. The proximity information is given by:
- 
a
 n audible signal, which becomes more 
rapid as the vehicle approaches the 
obstacle,
-
 
a g
 raphic in the multifunction screen, with 
blocks which become increasingly closer to 
the vehicle (depending on version).
Detection zoneWhen the distance between the rear of the vehicle 
and the obstacle is less than thirty centimetres, the 
audible signal becomes continuous and the "
dan
ger" 
symbol appears in the multifunction screen.
On completion of the manoeuvre, when you exit 
reverse gear, the system becomes inactive.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks 
cone or any other similar object may 
be detected at the beginning of the 
manoeuvre, but may no longer be detected 
when the vehicle comes close to it. The parking sensors system cannot in 
any circumstances take the place of 
vigilance on the part of the driver.

Reversing camera
a reversing camera is activated automatically 
w hen reverse gear is engaged.
The colour image is provided in the navigation 
screen. The space between the blue lines represents the 
width of your vehicle except for the door mirrors.
The blue lines represent the general direction 
of the vehicle.
The red line represents a distance of about 
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's 
rear bumper. The audible signal becomes 
continuous from this limit.
The green lines represent distances of about 1 
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's 
rear bumper.
Clean the reversing camera regularly 
using a soft, dry cloth.
The reversing camera cannot in any 
circumstances be a substitute for 
vigilance on the part of the driver.
