FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM
WITH ELECTRONIC CONTROL
4WD AUTO (position 1)
The vehicle operates with four wheel
drive and provides optimum traction
regardless of the level of grip.
This is the vehicle's normal and regular
operating mode, the distribution of the
torque between the front and rear axles
is controlled automatically.
The distribution favours the front wheels,
the transfer of torque to the rear wheels
is managed electronically by the control
unit in relation to the level of grip, so
guaranteeing optimum road holding.
Three transmission modes are avail-
able and can be selected manually
by the driver in accordance with his
requirements.
You can change transmission mode
when stationary or while driving at a
speed below 60 mph (100 km/h) .
The transmission mode can be selected
by turning the control A .
Display on the instrument panel
The transmission mode is displayed in
the form of an intermittent display on
the instrument panel display when the
transmission mode is selected.
Selecting the transmission mode
The selection of this mode is recom-
mended when the level of grip permits.
2WD (position 3)
The vehicle operates with front two
wheel drive.
This mode corresponds to use on a tar-
macked road on which the driver con-
siders that there is no risk of loss of grip
(dry road).
4WD LOCK (position 2)
The vehicle operates with four wheel
drive in this mode also.
It is recommended when grip is particularly
poor or difﬁ cult (sand, mud, slopes, ...).
System which permits the selection of
a transmission mode in relation to the
driving conditions.

CHECKING LEVELS Brake fluid level To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil level
The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick. The brake ﬂ uid level should be
between the "MAX" and "MIN"
marks.
If it is not, check the brake pad
wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Coolant level
The coolant level must be
measured when the engine is
cold and should be between
the "LOW" and "FULL" marks.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are ﬁ tted with a
particle emission ﬁ lter, the fan may
operate after the vehicle has been
switched off, even if the engine is
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
Wash-wipe and headlamp wash * fluid
Check the ﬂ uid level regularly,
using the gauge.
* According to country.
Draining the engine
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
Oil speciﬁ cation
The oil must correspond to your en-
gine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations. Fluid speciﬁ cation
The brake ﬂ uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
fulﬁ l the DOT4 standards.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Fluid speciﬁ cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Fluid speciﬁ cation
This ﬂ uid must conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations for optimum
cleaning.
Power steering fluid level
Check the ﬂ uid level with the engine at
idle.
Check that the power steering ﬂ uid
level is always between the "MAX" and
"MIN" marks and top up if necessary.
Fluid speciﬁ cation
This ﬂ uid must conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations.
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signiﬁ cantly, have the
corresponding circuit checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
When working under the bonnet, take
care as certain areas of the engine may
be extremely hot (risk of burns).

Diesel additive level (Diesel with particle emission filter)
The minimum level of this additive is indi-
cated by lighting of the service warning light,
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction display.
Topping up
It is imperative that this additive is topped
up by a CITROËN dealer without delay.

CHECKS
Battery
Check the electrolyte level
regularly. If necessary, top up
the level with distilled water.
Check that the terminals are
clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and
winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "Practical information" sec-
tion for details of the precautions to be
taken before disconnecting the battery
and following its reconnection.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
Depending on the environ-
ment (dusty atmosphere...) and the use
of the vehicle (city driving...), replace
them twice as often if necessary (refer
to the "Engines" paragraph).
A clogged passenger compartment ﬁ l-
ter may have an adverse effect on the
performance of the air conditioning sys-
tem and generate undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Replace the oil ﬁ lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
interval for this component.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that the maintenance of
the particle emission ﬁ lter is carried out
by a CITROËN dealer.
Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, exceptionally, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does
not have any adverse effect on the
performance of the vehicle or on the
environment.
Avoid any prolonged contact of
used oil or ﬂ uids with the skin.
Most of these ﬂ uids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or ﬂ uids
into sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the contain-
ers provided for this purpose in the
CITROËN network. Do not discard the oil ﬁ lter through
public channels, deposit it in the
containers dedicated to this use
in the CITROËN network.
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the servicing booklet and in relation to
your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer.

"RDS"
Alternative frequencies "AF"
Your radio automatically checks and selects
the best frequency for the radio station to
which it is tuned (if the station broadcasts on
several transmitters or frequencies).
The frequency of a radio station covers ap-
proximately 30 miles (50 km). The change
from one frequency to another explains the
temporary loss of reception during a journey.
If the station to which you are listening does
not have several frequencies in the region in
which you are currently located, you can de-
activate the alternative frequency following.
Traffic information "TP"
The "Trafﬁ c Program" (TP) function per-
mits automatic and temporary switch-
ing to an FM station broadcasting trafﬁ c
information.
The radio station or the source that you
are listening to at this point is paused.
Once the trafﬁ c information has ended,
the system switches back to the radio
station or the source that you were lis-
tening to initially.
Regional following mode "REG"
Some stations are organised in a network.
In different regions, they broadcast diffe-
rent or shared programmes depending
on the time of day.
You can follow:
- a regional station only,
- the entire network, with the possibil-ity that you will be listening to a dif-
ferent programme.
The "AF", "REG" and "TP"
functions can be deacti-
vated or activated via the
"TUNE" button functions
setting mode. Press the "TP" button.
"TP" appears on the display.
If the station is compatible,
"RDS" also appears.
If the radio detects trafﬁ c information,
"TRAF INF" appears on the display,
followed by the frequency of the broad-
casting station, then its name.
The volume is different from that of the
previous source.
Following the broadcasting of the trafﬁ c
information, the volume returns to that
of the source prior to the interruption.
When "TP" appears on the display,
the radio stops solely at RDS stations
broadcasting trafﬁ c information.
On long distance journeys, when the
stored station becomes weak, the radio
searches ﬁ rst for another frequency for
the same station (AF). Then, if this fails,
it searches for a frequency broadcast-
ing the regional programme (REG). If
this also fails, the radio returns to the
stored station.
The "Radio Data System" (RDS) func-
tion on the FM waveband permits:
- access to the displaying of information,
such as the name of the station, ...
- tuning to the same station while trav- elling through different regions,
- temporary tuning to trafﬁ c information announcements.
Most FM stations use the RDS. These
stations transmit non-audible data in
addition to their programmes.
The data transmitted in this way allows
you access to various functions, mainly
displaying of the name of the station,
automatic station following or temporary
tuning to trafﬁ c information announce-
ments.
The RDS allows you to continue listen-
ing to the same station by means of the
alternative frequency following. How-
ever, in certain conditions, this RDS
frequency following cannot be provided
throughout the country. Radio stations
do not cover the whole country, which
explains the loss of reception of the sta-
tion during a journey.
