DRIVING

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.

AUDIO and TELEMATICS
General notes on MP3/WMA CDs
Playing an MP3/WMA CD
When the MP3/WMA CD is
inserted in the player, play-
ing of the tracks is automatic.
The tracks cannot be recorded
onto the music server.
You can play CDs with up to 8 levels,
255 folders and 400 fi les maximum.
Copyright
Your Audio equipment may allow you
to listen to music which is usually pro-
tected by copyright in accordance with
current national and international stan-
dards. Please consult these standards
and comply with them.
Acceptance of the fi les
Some blank CDs may not be played
by your equipment (quality, recording
speed...).
When you burn a CD-R or CD-RW,
select the ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet
burning standard.
To obtain the best acoustic quality pos-
sible, select the lowest burning speed.
The MPEG1 and MPEG2 standards
are accepted.
Transmission speeds between 32 and
320 kbits/s and scans between 16 kHz
and 48 kHz are accepted.
To display the title information (the name
of the artist, the title of the album, etc...),
the information contained in the ID3 Tags
or the WMA Tags must be included in the
MP3/WMA fi les burned onto the disc.
What is the MP3/WMA fi le format?
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-
dio fi les with a low volume of data.
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
fi les at a compression rate higher than
that of the MP3 format.
