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
t o r q u e b e t w e e n t h e f r o n t a n d r e a r a x l e s
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
available 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 rec-
ommended when the level of grip
permits.
2WD (position 3)
The vehicle operates with front two
wheel drive.
This mode corresponds to use on a
tarmacked road on which the driver
considers 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
p o o r o r d i f fi c u l t ( s a n d , m u d , s l o p e s , e t c . ) .
System which permits the selection of
a transmission mode in relation to the
driving conditions.

Operating faults
If the selected transmission mode
d i s 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
automatically 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
e x c e s s i v e c o n d i t i o n s w h i l e d r i v i n g .
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.
A v o i d d r i v i n g o v e r e x c e s s i v e l y
uneven 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
displayed 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 al-
ternately and if “MAINTENANCE RE-
QUIRED” is displayed on the instru-
ment panel, the system has failed and
the safety system has been activated.
Contact a CITROËN dealer without
delay.

TOWING
Access to the tools Having your vehicle towed on a
flatbed
Below the front bumper, install the
towing system on the towing eye 1 .
On the rear bumper, remove the
cover by pulling at the bottom using
the jack handle 2 .
Towing another vehicle
The towing eye and the tools are stored
in the storage compartment in the right-
hand boot trim.
To access them:
open the boot,
turn button A to the left,
remove the cover B ,
r e m o v e t h e fi x i n g b a n d C and take
out the tool bag
D containing the
tools,
take the towing eye and the tools
required out of the tool bag.
When being towed with the
engine off, there is no longer any
braking or steering assistance.
Place the gear lever in neutral.
Always have the vehicle
t o w e d o n a fl a t b e d .
Never have the vehicle towed
with the four wheels on the ground,
this could damage the transmission.
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.
Screw in the towing eye fully using
the wheelbrace 3 .
Install the towbar.
Switch on the hazard warning lights
on the towed vehicle.
Operating procedure for having your
v e h i c l e t o w e d o n a fl a t b e d o r f o r t o w i n g
another vehicle using a removable
mechanical device.

NAVIGATION-GUIDANCE
What is the navigation system and
the GPS?
The satellite navigation system guides
the driver to the destination that he has
set in accordance with a chosen route.
Initially, it searches for the destination
required by the user, then it calculates
t h e r o u t e a n d fi n a l l y i t p r o v i d e s t h e v i s u a l
and audible guidance instructions. What precautions should be
observed in order to use the system
under good conditions?
Do not place anything on or near the
GPS aerial.
Do not use any digital communication
equipment (personal computers, etc.)
near the GPS aerial.
D o n o t a f fi x a n y r e fl e c t i v e fi l m s o r fi l m s
containing carbon to the window.
The GPS (Global Positioning
System) consists of several
satellites distributed around
the earth. They continuously
transmit digital signals
which travel at the speed of light, on 2
different frequencies.
At any given time, the system receives
its position in relation to the satellites
detected and the time of transmission
of the signal.
This enables the telematic unit to
deduce its position and therefore that of
the vehicle.
A repositioning process using the
map database stored on the hard disc
permits repositioning of the vehicle’s
position on the road network in order
to improve the accuracy of the locating
function. What is a point of interest (POI)?
Up to 40 different icons may
be displayed (refer to the
section “Points of interest
icon”).
T h e y a r e c l a s s i fi e d i n
5 g r o u p s a n d i d e n t i fi e d b y o n e c o l o u r
for each group:
- S h o p s , fi n a n c e a n d b u s i n e s s e s (Green),
- Vehicles and travel (Dark blue),
- Restaurants (Orange),
- Public places and emergency services (Brown),
- Entertainment and attractions (Blue).
GPS
The system’s measurements may be
inaccurate if the vehicle is:
- in a tunnel or underground car park,
- underneath a two-level motorway,
- in an area with several very high buildings,
- surrounded by closely planted trees.
Depending on the vehicle’s situation and
the reception of the GPS information, the
displayed information may disappear
from the display temporarily. A point of interest (POI) is
represented by an icon on
the map, it represents an
airport, a station, a town
hall, etc.
