Citroen C4: Driving modes

The driving modes available depend on the engine and equipment of the vehicle.

Driving modes are selected using the following control:

► Press the control to display the modes on the instrument panel.

When the message disappears, the selected mode is activated and remains indicated on the instrument panel (except Normal mode).

For petrol, Diesel or hybrid versions

Whenever the ignition is switched on, Normal driving mode is selected by default.

Normal

To restore the default settings.

Eco

To reduce energy consumption by reducing the performance of the heating and air conditioning, without deactivating them.

Free-wheeling in Eco mode: depending on version, with the EAT8 gearbox, switching into "free-wheeling" is encouraged to slow the vehicle down without using engine braking. You can save fuel by taking your foot gradually and fully off the accelerator pedal in anticipation of slowing down.

Sport

To obtain more dynamic driving with action on the accelerator and gear changes with an automatic gearbox.

The selection of the Sport mode deactivates the Stop & Start function.

For electric versions

Each time the ignition is switched on, Normal mode is selected by default.

Normal

This optimises the driving range and dynamic performance.

Eco

Kick-down

In Normal and Eco modes, it is always possible to obtain maximum torque and power by depressing the accelerator pedal fully.

Sport

Enables more dynamic driving, acting on the power steering, accelerator and gear changes with a drive selector and the possibility of displaying the vehicle's dynamic settings on the instrument panel.
