Operating faults  
Have your vehicle towed on a 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.  
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.  
If the selected transmission mode display  
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 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).  
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.  
VII  
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-  
ed workshop without delay.
