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
providing optimum road holding.
Three transmission modes are available
and can be selected manually by the driv-
er 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 in the instrument panel

The transmission mode is displayed
in the form of an intermittent display in
the instrument panel screen when the
transmission mode is selected.

Selecting the transmissionmode

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 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.

Operating faults
If the selected transmission mode display
fl ashes, the vehicle switches automati-
cally 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 excessive
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 at-
bed.

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 in the instru-
ment panel, the system has failed and
the safety system has been activated.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop 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
.
The towing eye and the tools are stored
in the storage compartment in the right-
hand boot trim.
To gain access to them:


)
open the boot,

)
turn button A
to the left,

)
remove the cover B
,

)
remove the fi xing band C
and take out
the tool bag D
containing the tools,

)
take the towing eye and the tools re-
quired out of the tool bag.
Place the gear lever in neutral.

Always have the vehicle
towed on a fl atbed.

Never have the vehicle towed with
the four wheels on the ground, this
could damage the transmission.
The vehicle must not be towed with

AUDIO and TELEMATICS
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
the route and fi nally it provides the vi-
sual and audible guidance instructions.
What precautions should be
observed in order to make best use
of the system?
Do not place anything on or near the
GPS aerial.
Do not use any digital communication
equipment (personal computers, etc.)
near the GPS aerial.
Do not affi x any refl ective fi lms or fi lms
containing carbon to the windows.
The GPS (Global Position-
ing System) consists of
several satellites distribut-
ed around the earth. They
continuously transmit digi-
tal 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 cal-
culate its position and therefore that of
the vehicle.
A repositioning process using the map
database stored on the hard disk allows
the vehicle to be positioned on the road
network, so improving the accuracy of
the vehicle location function.
What is a point of interest
(POI)?
Up to 40 different icons may
be displayed (refer to the
section "Points of interest
icon").
They are classifi ed in
5 groups and identifi ed by one colour
for each group:


- Shops, fi nance and businesses
(Green),

- Vehicles and travel (Dark blue),

- Restaurants (Orange),

- Public places and emergency ser-
vices (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 informa-
tion, the displayed information may dis-
appear from the screen temporarily. A point of interest (POI) is
represented by an icon on
the map, it represents an
airport, a station, a town
hall, ...
