Operating faults
If the selected transmission mode

automatically 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
e x c e s s i v e c o n d i t i o n s w h i l e d r i v i n g .
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.
A v o i d d r i v i n g o v e r e x c e s s i v e l y
uneven 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
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 al-
ternately and if “MAINTENANCE RE-
QUIRED” is displayed on the instru-
ment panel, the system has failed and
the safety system has been activated.
Contact a CITROËN dealer without
delay.

more frequent as the vehicle approach-
es the obstacle.
When a certain distance between the
rear of the vehicle and the obstacle is
reached, the audible signal becomes
continuous:
An object such as a stake, a road
works cone or any other similar object
may be detected at the beginning of
the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves
closer to it.
