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
tarmacked road on which the driver
considers 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.

NAVIGATION-GUIDANCE
What is the navigation system and
the GPS?
The satellite navigation system guides
the driver to the destination that he has
set in accordance with a chosen route.
Initially, it searches for the destination
required by the user, then it calculates
t h e r o u t e a n d fi n a l l y i t p r o v i d e s t h e v i -
sual and audible guidance instructions. What precautions should be
observed in order to make best use
of the system?
Do not place anything on or near the
GPS aerial.
Do not use any digital communication
equipment (personal computers, etc.)
near the GPS aerial.
D o n o t a f fi x a n y r e fl e c t i v e fi l m s o r fi l m s
containing carbon to the windows.
The GPS (Global Position-
ing System) consists of
several satellites distribut-
ed around the earth. They
continuously transmit digi-
tal signals which travel at the speed of
light, on 2 different frequencies.
At any given time, the system receives
its position in relation to the satellites
detected and the time of transmission
of the signal.
This enables the telematic unit to cal-
culate its position and therefore that of
the vehicle.
A repositioning process using the map
database stored on the hard disk allows
the vehicle to be positioned on the road
network, so improving the accuracy of
the vehicle location function. What is a point of interest
(POI)?
Up to 40 different icons may
be displayed (refer to the
section "Points of interest
icon").
T h e y a r e c l a s s i fi e d i n
5 g r o u p s a n d i d e n t i fi e d b y o n e c o l o u r

- S h o p s , fi n a n c e a n d b u s i n e s s e s (Green),
- Vehicles and travel (Dark blue),
- Restaurants (Orange),
- Public places and emergency ser- vices (Brown),
- Entertainment and attractions (Blue).
GPS
The system's measurements may be
inaccurate if the vehicle is:
- in a tunnel or underground car park,
- underneath a two-level motorway,
- in an area with several very high buildings,
- surrounded by closely planted trees.
Depending on the vehicle's situation
and the reception of the GPS informa-
tion, the displayed information may dis-
appear from the screen temporarily. A point of interest (POI) is
represented by an icon on
the map, it represents an
airport, a station, a town
hall, ...

MP3 is the abbreviation of MPEG-1
Audio Layer 3 and MPG is the abbrevia-
tion 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 fre-
quencies which are imperceptible to the
human ear, so producing high quality au-
d i o fi l e s w i t h a l o w v o l u m e o f d a t a .
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 com-
pression standard offered by Microsoft.
It can be used to create and save audio
