Stopping - Starting on a slope
Do not use the accelerator pedal to
immobilise the vehicle on a slope,
apply the
parking brake
instead.
When starting on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking
brake.
Switching to sequential mode
Once you have moved off, you can
switch to sequential mode by selecting
position +/- .
"D" disappears and the gears engaged
appear in succession on the instrument
panel screen.
The gear change requests are only car-
ried out if the engine speed permits it.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal
gently to engage the gear.
Switching to automated mode
Automated mode
After using the sequential mode, you
can return to the automated mode by
selecting position D .
"D" appears on the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox then operates in auto-active
mode, without any action on the part of
the driver.
It continuously selects the gear most
suited to the conditions of:
- driving style,
- road characteristics,
- vehicle load.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain
the most suitable gear, avoid sharp
variations in the pressure on the
accelerator pedal.
Auto sequential mode
In the automated mode, you can take
over control temporarily at any time us-
ing the steering mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits manual
selection of the gears in situations which
require a faster changedown than that
offered in automated mode (arrival at a
roundabout, exit from a car park with a
steep gradient, overtaking...). Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can:
- move to position N to leave the
gearbox in neutral.
- l e a v e a g e a r e n g a g e d , s u c h a s fi r s t or reverse.
In both cases, you must apply the park-
ing brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Operating anomaly
With the ignition on, if the message
"Slow down" or "Maintenance re-
quired" appears on the multifunction
screen, this indicates a gearbox mal-
function.
When a message is displayed, carry
out the following operations:
- slow down and stop your vehicle in a safe place,
- place the lever in position N and let
the engine run,
- open the bonnet to allow the engine to cool.
If the message disappears for a long
period, you can set off again.

DCS GEARBOX
The six-speed electronically controlled
gearbox offers a choice between the
comfort of automatic regulation or the
pleasure of manual gear changing.
This gearbox has three driving modes:
- a manual mode for changing of the
gears by the driver using the steer-
ing mounted controls or the gear le-
ver,
- a " Normal " automatic mode for
economical control of the gears
(everyday use),
- a " Sport " automatic mode which
permits a more dynamic style of
driving, with improved acceleration
and optimised engine braking. When you move the lever in the gate to
select a position, the corresponding in-
dicator or message is displayed on the
instrument panel.

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 tar-
macked road on which the driver con-
siders 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 , . . . ) .
System which permits the selection of
a transmission mode in relation to the
driving conditions.

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.

Steering mounted controls Display on the instrument panel
The cruise control cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, take the place of the
need to comply with speed limits or
of the vigilance and responsibility of
the driver.
System which automatically maintains
the vehicle speed at the value pro-
grammed by the driver, without any ac-
tion on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is
switched on
manually: the vehicle speed must be
25 mph (40 km/h) minimum and sec-
ond gear must be engaged in the case
of a manual gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off man-
ually, by an action on the brake or clutch
pedal or if the ASC system is triggered.
The programmed speed can be ex-
ceeded temporarily by pressing the
accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.

"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.

The radio station or the source that you
are listening to at this point is paused.
O n c e t h e t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n h a s e n d e d ,
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.
I f t h e r a d i o d e t e c t s t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n ,
"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.
F o l l o w i n g t h e b r o a d c a s t i n g o f t h e t r a f fi 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
b r o a d c a s t i n g t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n .
On long distance journeys, when the
stored station becomes weak, the radio
s e a r c h e s fi r s t f o r a n o t h e r f r e q u e n c y f o r
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,
- t e m p o r a r y t u n i n g t o t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n announcements.
Most FM stations use RDS. These
stations transmit non-audible data in
addition 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
t u n i n g t o t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n a n n o u n c e -
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.
