STOP AND START function (2/3)
Conditions preventing the
standby of the engine
Certain conditions prevent the system
from using the engine standby function,
including when:
– reverse gear is engaged;
– the bonnet is not locked;
– the outdoor temperature is too low or too high (less than around 0 °C or
higher than around 30 °C);
– the battery is not sufficiently char- ged;
– if available, the vehicle is in “4WD Lock” mode (please see the section
“Transmission: 4-wheel drive (4WD)”
in Section 2);
– for vehicles with an automatic or sequential gearbox, the gradient is
steeper than approximately 12%;
– the engine temperature is too low;
– the anti-pollution system is required;
or
– ...
The warning light
 lights up on
the instrument panel to alert you that
engine standby is not available.
To fill up with fuel, the engine must
be stopped (and not on standby):
always stop the engine (please see
“Starting, stopping the engine”).
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any opera-
tion performed in the engine
compartment.
Preventing the engine from
standing by
In certain situations, when negotiating
a junction for instance, it is possible to
keep the engine running so as to be
ready to move off quickly.
Automatic or sequential gearbox
Keep the vehicle stationary without
pressing too hard on the brake pedal.
Manual gearbox
Keep the clutch pedal pressed right
down.
Conditions for coming out of
engine standby
For automatic or sequential gear-
box:
– The brake pedal is released, position D or M engaged or,
– the brake pedal is released with the gear lever in position N and the
handbrake off, or
– the brake pedal is pressed again, with position N engaged and the
handbrake applied, or
– position R is engaged, or
– the accelerator pedal is pressed.
For manual gearboxes:
– The gearbox is in neutral and the clutch pedal is slightly depressed, or
– the engine is in gear and the clutch pedal is pressed right down.

4x2 (2WD) and 4x4 (4WD)
mode selector
Depending on the road conditions, tur-
ning selector 1 enables the following
modes to be selected:
– 2WD ;
– AUTO ;
– 4WD Lock.
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (1/4)
“AUTO" mode
To activate this mode, turn the selec-
tor 1 to the “AUTO” position.
Operating principle
“AUTO” mode automatically distributes
the engine torque between the front and
rear axles according to the road condi-
tions and the vehicle speed. This po-
sition optimises roadholding. Use this
mode on any type of road (dry, snow-
covered, slippery, etc.) or when towing
(trailer or caravan). This mode is not in-
dicated on the instrument panel.
“2WD" mode
To activate this mode, turn selector 1 to
the “2WD" position. The
‘ indica-
tor light will light up on the instrument
panel.
Operating principle
The “2WD” mode uses the front wheels
only. Use this mode on dry roads with
good grip.
Remember that driving a vehicle off-
road is very different to driving it on
the road.
To make the most of your vehicle
in an off-road situation, we recom-
mend that you are trained to drive a
4x4 (4WD) vehicle.
The safety of both you and your
passengers is your responsibility,
and depends on your skill and the
care you take when driving off-road.

2.31
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (2/4)
This problem may be resolved by chan-
ging the tyres. Always use four identi-
cal tyres (same brand, profile, etc.) and
with similar wear.
In the event of excessive wheelspin,
the mechanical components may be
overheating.
If this happens:
– at first, the
’ warning light
flashes. “4WD Lock” mode is still
active, however we recommend that
you stop as soon as possible to allow
the system to cool down (until the
warning light stops flashing);
– if the wheels still spin, the system au- tomatically switches to “2WD” mode
to protect the mechanical compo-
nents.
The
‘ warning light flashes. The
mode cannot be changed while the
light is flashing.
After one minute, the system switches
to “2WD” or “AUTO” mode depending
on the position of the selector.
Note: if the vehicle is travelling at a
speed of more than approximately
49.6 mph (80 km/h) or if it is travel-
ling at a speed of between 37.2 and
49.6 mph (60 and 80 km/h) for more
than one minute in «4WD Lock" mode,
the system automatically switches back
to "AUTO" mode. The warning light
’ goes out.
Special features of the
4-wheel drive transmission
The vehicle may make more noise when
the “AUTO" or "4WD Lock" modes are
activated. This is normal. If the system
detects a difference in the dimensions
of the front and rear wheels (eg. un-
derinflation, severe wear on an axle),
the system automatically switches to
"2WD" mode.
The
‘ and Ò warning lights on
the instrument panel come on. Drive as
soon as possible at a moderate speed
to an approved dealer.
To deactivate this mode, turn selector
1
to the “AUTO” position. The
‘ indi-
cator light on the instrument panel goes
out.
“4WD Lock" mode
To activate this mode, turn selector 1 to
the “4WD Lock” position. The selector
the returns to the “AUTO” position. The
’ indicator light will light up on the
instrument panel.
Operating principle
“4WD Lock” mode distributes the
engine torque between the front and
rear axles in order to optimise the per-
formance capacity of the vehicle in off-
road situations. This mode should only
be used in extreme driving conditions
(mud, steep slopes, sand).
To deactivate this mode, turn selector 1
to the “4WD Lock” position again. The
indicator light on the instrument panel
goes out. When the engine is switched
off, the system stays in “4WD Lock”
mode for one minute.

2.32
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (3/4)
Electronic stability program and
traction control when driving off-
road
(vehicles equipped with ESC)
When driving on soft ground (sand,
mud, deep snow), we recommend that
you deactivate the ESC function by
pressing the “ ESC” switch.
In this case, only individual wheel bra-
king remains active. This function ap-
plies the brake to any wheel that is slip-
ping, allowing the engine torque to be
transferred to the wheels with the most
grip. This is particularly useful when
crossing a bridge.
All the ESC functions will be reactivated
when the vehicle speed reaches ap-
proximately 30 mph (50 km/h) (36 mph
(60 km/h) in 4WD Lock mode), when
the engine is restarted or when the
“ESC” button is pressed again.Operating faults
If the system detects an operating
fault, it automatically switches to “2WD”
mode, and the
‘ and Ò war-
ning lights come on.
Drive as soon as possible at a mode-
rate speed to an approved dealer.
For certain operating faults, the system
may not be able to switch to “2WD" or
"4WD Lock" mode. "AUTO" mode re-
mains active.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
In this case, we recommend that you
stop as soon as possible to allow the
system to cool down (until the warning
light stops flashing).
Cooling may take up to five minutes.
If the system detects excessive whee-
lspin on the front wheels, it adapts the
engine to run in a way that reduces
wheelspin.
Anti-lock braking in “
LOCK” mode
(vehicles equipped with ABS)
When “4WD Lock" mode is active, the
ABS switches to off-road mode. In this
case, the wheels may lock intermit-
tently to achieve better grip, thus redu-
cing braking distances on soft ground.
When this mode is active:
– the vehicle’s manoeuvrability is limi- ted during braking. This operating
mode is therefore not recommended
in very low-grip conditions (eg. ice).
– there may be some noise. This is normal, and does not indicate an
operating fault.

2.33
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (4/4)
All-wheel drive system
– Irrespective of the mode selected, do not start the engine if one or mor\
e wheels are not in contact with the ground
(eg. when the vehicle is on a jack or roller bench).
– Do not turn the mode selector when cornering, reversing or if the wheels\
are spinning excessively. Only select the
“2WD”, “AUTO” or “4WD Lock” mode when the vehicle is being driven in a str\
aight line.
– Only use tyres which meet the required specifications.
– “4WD Lock” mode is reserved solely for use off-road. The use of this mode in any other conditions may adversely affect the
vehicle’s manoeuvrability and damage its mechanical components.
– Always ensure tyres with identical specifications are fitted to all four\
wheels (brand, size, structure, wear etc.). Fitting tyres
of different sizes to the front and rear wheels and/or left and right wheels m\
ay have serious consequences for the tyres,
gearbox, transfer gearbox and the rear differential pinions.
