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
providing optimum road holding.
Three transmission modes are available
and can be selected manually by the driv-
er 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 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.

Selecting the transmissionmode

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 tar-
macked 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
poor or diffi cult (sand, mud, slopes, ...). System which permits the selection of
a transmission mode in relation to the
driving conditions.

The cruise control cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, take the place of the
need to comply with speed limits or
of the vigilance and responsibility of
the driver.
System which automatically maintains the
vehicle speed at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
man-
ually: the vehicle speed must be 25 mph
(40 km/h) minimum and second gear
must be engaged in the case of a man-
ual gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
man-
ually, by an action on the brake or clutch
pedal or if the ASC system is triggered.
The programmed speed can be ex-
ceeded temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.

AUDIBLE REAR PARKING
SENSORS
It detects obstacles (person, vehicle,
tree, gate, ...) located behind the vehicle,
but it cannot detect obstacles located
immediately below the bumper.
Activation
The parking sensors are activated by
engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated
by an audible signal which becomes
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 ob-
ject may be detected at the beginning
of the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves
closer to it.
Location of the sensors
The vehicle is fi tted with four sensors:


- two side sensors A


- two central sensors B
.
Vehicle only

Vehicle fi tted with a towbar
Detection zones
The detection zones differ depending
on whether the vehicle is fi tted with a
towbar.
If you select towbar mode, the towbar
zone C
is excluded from the detection
zones.
The parking sensor system cannot,
in any circumstances, take the place
of the need for vigilance and respon-
sibility on the part of the driver.

Distance between
vehicle and
obstacle less than:

WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS (IN KG)


* The kerb weight is equal to the weight without load + driver (75 kg).

** The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).

*** The braked trailer value corresponds to the towing capacities of the vehicle on a 12 % gradient.
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; reduce
the towed weight by 450 kg when your altitude increases by 1 000 m.
