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.

Operating faults
If the selected transmission mode display
fl ashes, the vehicle switches automati-
cally 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 excessive
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 at-
bed.

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 in the instru-
ment panel, the system has failed and
the safety system has been activated.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop without delay.
