FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM
WITH ELECTRONIC CONTROL
4WD AUTO (position 1)
The vehicle operates with four wheel
drive and provides optimum traction re-
gardless 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 screen 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
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
poor or diffi cult (sand, mud, slopes, ...).
System which permits the selection of
a transmission mode in relation to the
driving conditions.

AUDIBLE REAR PARKING
SENSORS
It detects obstacles (person, vehicle,
tree, gate, ...) located behind the vehi-
cle, but it cannot detect obstacles locat-
ed immediately below the bumper. Activation
The parking sensors are 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
The vehicle is fi tted with four sensors:
- two side sensors
A
- two central sensors B . Vehicle only
Vehicle fi tted with a towbar
Detection zones
The detection zones differ depending
on whether the vehicle is fi tted with a
towbar.
If you select towbar mode, the towbar
zone
C is excluded from the detection
zones.
The parking sensor system cannot,
in any circumstances, take the place
of the need for vigilance and respon-
sibility on the part of the driver.
Sensors

Distance
between vehicle and obstacle less than:
Side A Approximately
25 cm
Central B
without towbar Approximately
40 cm
Central B
with towbar Approximately
60 cm
System consisting of proximity sensors
installed in the rear bumper.

"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 cov-
ers approximately 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 switching
to an FM station broadcasting traffi c in-
formation.
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 possibility that you will be listening to a different
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) function
on the FM waveband permits:
- access to the display 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 RDS. These sta-
tions transmit non-audible data in addi-
tion 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.
