ALL-wHEEL DRIvE SYSTEM: 4 wheel drive (4wD) (1/3)
“AUTO” mode
This is the mode defined each time
the engine is started.
Operating principle
The “AUTO” mode automatically dis -
tributes the torque between the front
and rear axles according to the road
conditions and the vehicle speed. This
position optimises roadholding. Use
this mode where the roads are slippery
or in good condition.
“2wD” mode
Press on the upper section of button 1.
The
‘ indicator light will light up on
the instrument panel.
Operating principle
The “2WD” mode uses the front wheels
only. Use this mode where the roads
are in good condition.
To deactivate this mode, press the
upper section of button 1 again. The in-
dicator light on the instrument panel will
go out.
“4wD Lock” mode
Press the bottom section of button 1 .
The button returns immediately to its
original position. The
’ indica -
tor light will light up on the instrument
panel.
To deactivate this mode, press the
lower section of button 1 again. The in-
dicator light on the instrument panel will
go out.
Operating principle
The “4WD Lock” mode uses the front
and rear axles, each with 50% of the
power. Use this mode on uneven and
unsurfaced roads.
Note: if the vehicle speed exceeds
24 mph (40 km/h) in “4WD Lock” mode,
the system automatically switches back
to “AUTO” mode.
Driving mode switch 1
Depending on the road conditions,
pressing button 1 enables the following
modes to be selected:
– AUTO ;
– 2WD ;
– 4WD Lock.

ALL-wHEEL DRIvE SYSTEM: 4 wheel drive (4wD) (2/3)
Special note on all-wheel
drive system
– 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 size of the front and rear
wheels (as is the case, for exam-
ple, when the wrong size tyres
are fitted, or if the tyres are un -
der-inflated or significantly worn
on one axle etc.) the message
“4WD not available ” is displayed
on the instrument panel and the
indicator light
‘ flashes.
Select “2WD” mode and drive at
a moderate speed;
– always use four tyres with the
same level of wear;
– as soon as the vehicle speed ex-
ceeds 24 mph (40 km/h) in “4WD
Lock” mode, the system automat-
ically switches back to “AUTO”
mode. The indicator light goes
out;
– when the front and rear wheels
are turning at different speeds
(for example, when driving on
uneven road surfaces, sand or
mud, or when being towed, tyres
with different levels of wear), the
oil temperature may rise, given
the mechanical stresses. In this
case, the system automatically
switches back to “2WD” mode to
prevent overheating. The mes-
sage “ 4w D not available ” is
displayed on the instrument
panel and the
‘ or ’
indicator light comes on. Park
the vehicle in a safe place and
wait until the message “4WD not
available ” disappears.
If the warning appears again,
contact an approved Dealer.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “ Check 4WD” and
warning light
© appear on the in-
strument panel.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible.

ALL-wHEEL DRIvE SYSTEM: 4 wheel drive (4wD) (3/3)
All-wheel drive system
– Depending on the driving conditions, the system may switch automatically from “2WD” to “4WD”. In this case, the
“4WD” indicator light does not come on.
– Whichever mode is selected, do not start the engine if the rear wheels are on the ground and the front wheels are in the air
(e.g. vehicle jacked up) or if they are resting on rollers.
– Do not press the mode selector switch while cornering, reversing or if the wheels are slipping. Only select the “2WD”,
“AUTO” or “4WD Lock” mode when the vehicle is being driven in a straight line.
– When the engine warms up, the idle speed may be higher. Be careful when driving or stopping on slippery roads with the
“AUTO” mode selected.
– Only use tyres which meet the required specifications.
– Snow chains must only be fitted to the front wheels.
– This function is an additional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behaviour to be adapted to
suit the driving conditions.
However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle’s limits and should not en-
courage you to drive more quickly. Therefore, it can under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibility of the
driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden incidents which may occur when driving).
– It is recommended not to use “4WD Lock” mode permanently when driving on roads in good condition.
– 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 may have serious consequences for the tyres,
gearbox, transfer gearbox and the rear differential pinions.

Hill descent control
This function enables the vehicle speed
to be limited to approximately 4 mph
(7 km/h), without depressing the brake
pedal (when driving down a steep hill).
Activating/deactivating the system
– Activating: press button 1 . The
message “ HDC on” appears on the
instrument panel.
– Deactivating: press button 1 again:
the message “ HDC off” appears on
the instrument panel.
Starting the system
With the vehicle travelling downhill at
less than 15 mph (25 km/h) in first or re-
verse gear (position D or R for vehicles
with an automatic transmission), press
switch 2 to switch to “4WD Lock” mode.
Once a sufficient gradient is detected,
the
• indicator light appears on the
instrument panel, accompanied by the
“HDC operational ” message.
Note: if the vehicle speed exceeds
24 mph (40 km/h), the transmission
switches automatically to “AUTO” mode
(the
• indicator light goes out).
The system can be reactivated by
pressing “4WD Lock” when the vehicle
speed drops below 24 mph (40 km/h).
1
With the engine cold, the
automatic hill descent con -
trol function can be de -
activated temporarily (the
• warning light goes out).
When the engine temperature rises,
the warning light comes on again
and the function is available.
The automatic hill descent control
system may be deactivated tempo-
rarily if there is a risk of the braking
system overheating.
If necessary, use the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particularly
vigilant when driving on slippery or
low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.
Risk of serious injury.
This system does not operate when
the gear lever is in neutral (position
N or P for vehicles with an auto -
matic transmission), or if the vehicle
is travelling on flat ground.
2
The hill descent control system is de -
activated as soon as you depress the
brake pedal or the accelerator pedal,
and reactivated as soon as you release
it.
