Driving
As the engine torque is applied to all four wheels, the condition of the tyres
has a considerable impact on theperformance 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 whichthe wheels could spin. Spinning the wheels places thetransmission components under pressure and could cause a seriousmalfunction. Do not drive the vehicle through deep water. Avoid driving over excessively uneventerrain (risk of scraping under the body or of grounding on crossing a bridge).


Operating faults

If the selected transmission mode display flashes, the vehicle switches automatically to front "2WD"
transmission mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the
transmission mode using the control A
.
If the message "SLOW DOWN" is displayed on
the instrument panel, let the transmission cool
down then wait for the displa
y to clear beforesetting off again.
If "4WD" and "LOCK" are displayed alternatelyand if "SERVICE REQUIRED" is displayed in
the instrument panel, the system has failed and
the safety system has been activated.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without dela
y.
Have your vehicle towed on a flatbed. The vehicle must not be towed with the front or rear wheels on the ground evenif it is in front "2WD" (2 wheel drive)mode.

Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It may be necessary tohave the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn.

For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.

03 NAVIGATION - GUIDANCE
The satellite navigation system guides the driver to the destination
that he has set in accordance with a chosen route.
Initiall
y, it searches for the destination required by the user, thenit calculates the route and fi nally it provides the visual and vocal guidance instructions.

A point of interest (POI) is represented by an icon on
the map, it represents an airport, a station, a town
hall, ... WHAT IS A POINT OF INTEREST
(POI)?
Up to 40 different icons ma
y be displayed (refer to the
section "Points of interest icon").
The
y are classifi ed in 5 groups and identifi ed by onecolour for each group:
-
Shops, fi nance and businesses (Green),
- Vehicles and travel
(Dark blue),
- Restaurants
(Orange),
- Public places and emer
gency services (Brown),
- Entertainment and attractions
(Blue).

GPS
(Global Positioning System) consists of severalsatellites arranged around the earth. They continuouslytransmit digital 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 calculate its position
and therefore that of the vehicle.

A repositioning process using the map database storedon the hard disk allows the vehicle to be positionedon the road network, so improving the accuracy of the
vehicle location function.


















GPS SYSTEM
WHAT IS THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND GPS?
The system's measurements may be inaccurate if the vehicle is:
- in a tunnel or under
ground car park,
- underneath a two-level motorwa
y,
-
in an area with several very high buildings,
- surroun
ded by closely planted trees.
Depending on the vehicle's situation and the reception o
f the GPSinformation, the displayed information may disappear from the
screen temporarily.

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 an
y digital communication equipment (personalcomputers, etc.) near the GPS aerial.
Do not affi x an
y refl ective fi lms or fi lms containing carbon to the
windows.

load on the equipment or the condition o
f the audio CD.
I
f jumps or other errors occur, return to the beginning of the track
and start the recording again.
Even if there is no
gap between the tracks on the CD, a brief silencebetween tracks is stored on the hard disk.

the matching code recorded in step 7 in the telephone.
BLUETOOTH® TELEPHONE®
The system says " Start the matching procedure on the
telephone. Consult the instructions in the telephone manual ".

After the audible signal, allocate a name to the telephone
by saying the name of your choice.The s
ystem says "Allocate an order of priority between 1 and 7.
One is the highest level of priority ".
Give a number between 1 and 7 to establish the level of
priority of the mobile telephone.
The system says and con
fi rms the " name of the telephone" andthe " number
" of its priority. r


Answer "Ye s"
Say " No" to return to step 13.

manual and with your service provider for the services you have access to.
I
f the system does not detect the Bluetooth® compatible mobile®
telephone, the matching process stops ands is accompanied by an audible signal.
