quirements.  
You can change transmission mode  
when stationary or while driving at a  
speed below 60 mph (100 km/h).  
The transmission mode is displayed  
in the form of an intermittent display in  
the instrument panel screen when the  
transmission mode is selected.  
The transmission mode can be selected  
by turning the control A.  
 
DRIVING  
Operating faults  
Do not subject the vehicle to ex-  
cessive conditions while driving.  
Have your vehicle towed on a  
atbed.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
If the selected transmission mode display  
ashes, the vehicle switches automatically  
to front "2WD" transmission mode.  
Spinning the wheels places the  
transmission components under  
pressure and could cause a seri-  
ous malfunction.  
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  
uneven 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.

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 PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-  
ed workshop without delay.
