The temperature of the four wheel
drive transmission system is too
high. Stop the vehicle and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. The vehicle changes automatically
to two wheel drive (2WD).
The fuel level is low. Refuel as soon as possible.




The low level of the particle
emissions filter additive reser voir
has been reached. Have the reser voir topped up as
soon as possible by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. Only for the 1.6 litre HDi engine.


+ Start of saturation of the particle
emissions filter. As soon as the driving conditions
allow, regenerate the filter by driving
at a speed of at least 25 mph
(40 km/h) for around 20 minutes (with
the 1.6 litre HDi engine the minimum
speed is 36 mph (60 km/h)). If the message remains on,
contact a CITROËN or a qualified

Driving





Four wheel drive system

System which permits the selection of a transmission mode in relation to the driving conditions.
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.
The transmission mode can be selected by
turning the control A
.


Selecting the transmission
mode

4WD AUTO (position 1)

The vehicle operates with four wheel drive and
provides optimum traction for all levels 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.


4WD LOCK (position 2)

The vehicle operates with four wheel drive in
this mode also.
It is recommended when grip is particularly
poor or difficult (sand, mud, slopes, ...).


2WD (position 3)

The vehicle operates with front two wheel drive.
This is suitable for use on a tarmac roads or
where the driver considers that there is no risk
of loss of grip (dry road).
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. The selection of this mode is
recommended when the level of grip
permits.

Driving

As the engine torque is applied to all
four wheels, the condition of the tyres
has a considerable impact on the
per formance 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 uneven
terrain (risk of scraping under the body
or of grounding on crossing a bridge).


Operating faults

If the selected transmission mode display
flashes, the vehicle switches automatically to
front "2WD"
transmission mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the
transmission mode using the control A
.
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 alternately
and if "SERVICE REQUIRED" is displayed in
the instrument panel, the system has failed and
the safety system has been activated.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.

Have your vehicle towed on a
flatbed.

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 replacement of a tyre is
necessary on 4-wheel drive versions,
it is recommended that all four tyres be
replaced at the same time, ensuring
that the same make, model and size is
used on all wheels.
This is because using tyres of different
sizes, structure or rate of wear could
damage transmission components.

Playing an MP3/WMA CD

When the MP3/WMA CD is inserted in the player,
playing of the tracks is automatic.
The tracks cannot be recorded onto the music server.

You can play CDs with up to 8 levels, 255 folders and
400 fi les maximum. Windows Media and Microsoft Corporation are trademarks

General notes on MP3/WMA CDs


What is the MP3/WMA fi le format?

MP3 is the abbreviation of MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and MPG is the
abbreviation of Motion Pictures Experts Group, a digital video data
compression standard used on media such as video CDs.
The MP3 compression reduces the number of bytes in a song by
eliminating the long sound waves in the range of frequencies which
are imperceptible to the human ear, so producing high quality audio
fi les with a low volume of data.
This compression divides the size of the content of a conventional
audio CD by approximately 10, which means that the content of
10 audio CDs can be recorded onto a single CD-R or CD-RW.
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Audio, another audio
data compression standard offered by Microsoft.
It can be used to create and save audio fi les at a compression rate
higher than that of the MP3 format.
Acceptance of the fi les

Some blank CDs may not be played by your equipment (quality,
recording speed...).
When you burn a CD-R or CD-RW, select the ISO 9660 level 1.2 or
Joliet burning standard.
To obtain the best acoustic quality possible, select the lowest
burning speed.
The MPEG1 and MPEG2 standards are accepted.
Transmission speeds between 32 and 320 kbits/s and scans
between 16 kHz and 48 kHz are accepted.
To display the title information (the name of the artist, the title of the
album, etc...), the information contained in the ID3 Tags or the WMA
Tags must be included in the MP3/WMA fi les burned onto the disc.
