• With the key in MAR position, press the  
Dualdrive button to activate the CITY  
function. The CITY warning light switches on  
in the instrument panel.  
• With the CITY function on, the effort  
required at the steering wheel is lighter,  
thereby facilitating parking manoeuvres.  
• Press the button again to turn the function  
off.  
For some versions/markets, this button is  
replaced by the ECO or SPORT button.  
ECO function  
• To activate the ECO function, hold down the appropriate button for at least  
5 seconds.  
• When the ECO function is active, the car is configured for city driving,  
characterised by less effort required on the steering wheel (Dualdrive system  
active) and reduced fuel consumption.  
• This function is memorised and, at the next start-up, the system reactivates  
the setting which was present before the engine was switched off.  
SPORT function  
• To activate the SPORT function, hold down the appropriate button for at least  
5 seconds.  
• Pressing the SPORT button produces a sporty driving setting characterised by  
higher acceleration response and more effort required at the steering wheel  
for a sporty driving sensation.  
• Press the button again to deactivate the function and restore the normal  
driving setting.  
IMPORTANT During acceleration, when the SPORT function is active, the steering  
may shudder which is typical of a sports setting.
