Operating faults
If the selected transmission mode dis-
p l a y fl a s h e s , t h e v e h i c l e s w i t c h e s a u t o -
matically to front "2WD" transmission
mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the
transmission mode using the control A . Do not subject the vehicle to exces-
sive conditions while driving.
As the engine torque is applied to
all four wheels, the condition of the
tyres has a considerable impact on
the performance of the vehicle.
Ensure that all four tyres are in good
condition.
Avoid driving the vehicle in sandy
or muddy areas or in other areas in
which the wheels could spin.
Spinning the wheels places the
transmission components under
pressure and could cause a serious
malfunction.
Do not drive the vehicle through
deep water.
Avoid driving over excessively un-
even terrain (risk of scraping under
the body or of grounding on crossing
a bridge).
Have your vehicle towed on a
fl a t b e d .
The vehicle must not be towed with
the front or rear wheels on the ground even if it is in front "2WD" (2 wheel
drive) mode.
If the message "SLOW DOWN" is dis-
played on the instrument panel, let the
transmission cool down then wait for the
display to clear before setting off again.
If "4WD" and "LOCK" are displayed
alternately and if "MAINTENANCE
REQUIRED" is displayed on the instru-
ment panel, the system has failed and
the safety system has been activated.
Contact a CITROËN dealer without delay.

AUDIBLE REAR PARKING
ASSISTANCE
It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, gate, ...) located behind the vehicle,
but it cannot detect obstacles located
immediately below the bumper. Activation
The parking assistance is activated by
engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated
by an audible signal which becomes
more frequent as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle.
When a certain distance between the
rear of the vehicle and the obstacle is
reached, the audible signal becomes
continuous:
An object such as a stake, a road
works cone or any other similar ob-
ject may be detected at the begin-
ning of the manoeuvre but may no
longer be detected when the vehicle
moves closer to it.
Location of the sensors
T h e v e h i c l e i s fi t t e d w i t h f o u r s e n s o r s :
- two side sensors

- two central sensors B . Vehicle only

the vehicle's equipment, with or without
towbar.
Therefore, you can select the towbar

from the detection zones.
The parking assistance system can-
not, in any circumstances, take the
place of the need for vigilance and re-
sponsibility on the part of the driver.

REVERSING CAMERA
Linked with the navigation option, a
reversing camera is activated automati-
cally when reverse gear is engaged.

M o d i fi c a t i o n o f t h e d e t e c t i o n z o n e s
Press button A to deactivate the
system.
Press button A again for a few seconds
and release it.
T h e d e t e c t i o n z o n e m o d i fi c a t i o n i n f o r -

which:
- is heard twice o n v e h i c l e s fi t t e d w i t h
