ALL-wHEEL DRIvE SYSTEM: 4 wheel drive (4wD) (2/3)
Special note on all-wheel
drive system
– The vehicle may make more
noise when the “AUTO” or “4WD
Lock” modes are activated. This
is normal;
– if the system detects a difference
in the size of the front and rear
wheels (as is the case, for exam-
ple, when the wrong size tyres
are fitted, or if the tyres are un -
der-inflated or significantly worn
on one axle etc.) the message
“4WD not available ” is displayed
on the instrument panel and the
indicator light
‘ flashes.
Select “2WD” mode and drive at
a moderate speed;
– always use four tyres with the
same level of wear;
– as soon as the vehicle speed ex-
ceeds 24 mph (40 km/h) in “4WD
Lock” mode, the system automat-
ically switches back to “AUTO”
mode. The indicator light goes
out;
– when the front and rear wheels
are turning at different speeds
(for example, when driving on
uneven road surfaces, sand or
mud, or when being towed, tyres
with different levels of wear), the
oil temperature may rise, given
the mechanical stresses. In this
case, the system automatically
switches back to “2WD” mode to
prevent overheating. The mes-
sage “ 4w D not available ” is
displayed on the instrument
panel and the
‘ or ’
indicator light comes on. Park
the vehicle in a safe place and
wait until the message “4WD not
available ” disappears.
If the warning appears again,
contact an approved Dealer.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “ Check 4WD” and
warning light
© appear on the in-
strument panel.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible.

ALL-wHEEL DRIvE SYSTEM: 4 wheel drive (4wD) (3/3)
All-wheel drive system
– Depending on the driving conditions, the system may switch automatically from “2WD” to “4WD”. In this case, the
“4WD” indicator light does not come on.
– Whichever mode is selected, do not start the engine if the rear wheels are on the ground and the front wheels are in the air
(e.g. vehicle jacked up) or if they are resting on rollers.
– Do not press the mode selector switch while cornering, reversing or if the wheels are slipping. Only select the “2WD”,
“AUTO” or “4WD Lock” mode when the vehicle is being driven in a straight line.
– When the engine warms up, the idle speed may be higher. Be careful when driving or stopping on slippery roads with the
“AUTO” mode selected.
– Only use tyres which meet the required specifications.
– Snow chains must only be fitted to the front wheels.
– This function is an additional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behaviour to be adapted to
suit the driving conditions.
However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle’s limits and should not en-
courage you to drive more quickly. Therefore, it can under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibility of the
driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden incidents which may occur when driving).
– It is recommended not to use “4WD Lock” mode permanently when driving on roads in good condition.
– Always ensure tyres with identical specifications are fitted to all four wheels (brand, size, structure, wear etc.). Fitting tyres
of different sizes to the front and rear wheels and/or left and right wheels may have serious consequences for the tyres,
gearbox, transfer gearbox and the rear differential pinions.

Puncture, emergency sP are wheel
emergency spare wheel 6This is located in the luggage compart-
ment. To access it:
– Open the tailgate, lift the floor
carpet 1 , attach the strap 3 to the
hook 2 then remove the cover 4;
– unscrew mounting 5 by turning it an-
ticlockwise and remove it;
– if the vehicle is fitted with speaker 7,
remove the adhesive tape then place
it to the side;

Vehicles fitted with an
emergency spare wheel
smaller than the four
other wheels:
– Never fit more than one emer -
gency spare wheel to the same
vehicle.
– Replace the emergency spare
wheel as soon as possible with a
wheel with the same dimensions
as the original.
– When this is fitted to the vehicle,
which must only be a temporary
measure, the driving speed must
not exceed the speed indicated
on the label on the wheel.
– Fitting an emergency spare
wheel may alter the way the ve -
hicle usually runs. Avoid sudden
acceleration or deceleration and
reduce your speed when corner-
ing.
– If snow chains must be used, fit
the emergency spare wheel on
the rear axle in order to have a
normal size wheel at the front
then check the tyre pressure.
If the emergency spare
wheel has been stored
for several years, have it
checked by your Dealer to
ensure that it is safe to use.

The tyre pressure monitor does not
check the emergency spare wheel
(the wheel replaced by the emergency
spare wheel disappears from the instru-
ment panel display).

pressure monitor” in Section 2.

Tyres (tyre and wheel safety, use in winter)
tyres (1/3)
maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition
and the tread form must have sufficient
depth; tyres approved by our techni -
cal department have tread wear indica -
tors 1 which are indicators moulded
into the tread at several points .
tyre and wheel safety
The tyres are the only contact between
the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-
tial to keep them in good condition.
You must make sure that your tyres
conform to local road traffic regulations. When the tyre tread has been worn to
the level of the wear indicators,
they
become visible 2 : it is then neces -
sary to replace your tyres because the
tread rubber is 1.6 mm deep at most,
resulting in poor roadholding on wet
roads.
An overloaded vehicle, long journeys
by motorway, particularly in very hot
weather, or continual driving on poorly
surfaced minor roads will lead to more
rapid tyre wear and affect safety.
When they need to be re -
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and
profile should be used.
t yres fitted to the vehicle should
either be identical to those fitted
originally or conform to those
recommended by your approved
dealer.
Incidents which occur when
driving, such as striking the
kerb, may damage the tyres
and wheel rims, and could
also lead to misalignment of the
front or rear axle geometry. In this
case, have the condition of these
checked by an approved dealer.

studded tyres
This type of equipment may only be
used for a limited period and as laid
down by local legislation. It is neces -
sary to observe the speed specified by
current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be
fitted to the two front wheels.use in winter
chains
For safety reasons, fitting snow
chains to the rear axle is strictly for-
bidden.
chains cannot be fitted to tyres which
are larger than those originally fitted to
the vehicle.
snow or w inter tyres
We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure that
your vehicle retains maximum adhe -
sion.
w arning: These tyres sometimes have
a specific direction of rotation and a
maximum speed index which may be
lower than the maximum speed of your
vehicle.
tyres (3/3)
Chains may only be fitted
to tyres of the same size
as those originally fitted to
your vehicle.
In all cases, we would recommend
that you contact an approved dealer
who will be able to advise you on
the choice of equipment which is
most suitable for your vehicle.
Fitting new tyres
Always ensure tyres with identi -
cal specifications are fitted to all four
wheels (brand, size, structure, wear
etc.). Fitting tyres of different sizes to
the front and rear wheels and/or left
and right wheels may have serious
consequences for the tyres, gearbox,
transfer gearbox and the rear differen-
tial pinions.
For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out
by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
– it may mean that your vehicle no
longer conforms to current regu-
lations;
– it may change the way it handles
when cornering;
– it may cause the steering to be
heavy;
– It may affect the use of snow
chains.
When changing a tyre, make sure all four tyres are changed at the same
time in order to preserve the transmission system.
