Coolant temperature   When the engine is 
running, this indicates

fuel consumption over 
the last few miles (kilometres) travelled 
(refer to the "Range" section).

DISTANCE RECORDERS (A/B) 
 
System for measuring the total distance 
travelled by the vehicle during its 
service life and the distance travelled in 
a day or other period until it is reset to 
zero by the driver. 
Zero reset 
  With the ignition on, press the  INFO 
  button for more than 2 seconds until 
zeros appear.    When the engine is 
running, this indicates 
the temperature of the 
coolant. 
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
  If the bar is close to the  critical 
 position 
located on the right, the temperature is 
too high. 
  The symbol fl ashes when your engine 
is overheating. 
   
You must stop your vehicle as soon 
as it is safe to do so. 
 
   
Wait a few minutes before switching 
off the engine. 
 
  Wait for the engine to cool before 
topping up the level. The cooling 
system is pressurised.    
When the engine is 
running 
, this indicates 
the distance which can 
still be travelled with the 
fuel remaining in the tank 
based on the average 
fuel consumption over 
the last few miles/
kilometres travelled. 
RANGE
  When the range is less than  30 miles 
(50 km) 
, dashes are displayed. 
  Refuel as soon as possible. The display 
of the range is updated. 
  To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew 
the cap by two turns to allow the 
pressure to drop. 
  When the pressure has dropped, 
remove the cap and top up the level, if 
necessary. 
  Contact a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop.   This fi gure may increase following a 
change in the style of driving or the 
relief, resulting in a reduction in the 
current fuel consumption. 
  If you only add a few litres, the 
value displayed will be incorrect. 
Therefore, you must fi ll the tank 
whenever possible. 
  When you disconnect the 
battery, the previous fuel 
consumption data is lost and the 
value displayed will be different from 
that displayed before the battery was 
disconnected. The distance displayed 
must be considered an approximate 
indication.

SERVICE INDICATOR Resetting the service indicator to zero
  Your CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop carries out this operation 
after each service. 
  If you have carried out your vehicle's 
service yourself, the zero reset 
procedure is the following: 
   
 
 ) 
  switch off the ignition. 
   
 ) 
  press the  INFO 
 button several times 
in succession until the service indi-
cator is displayed. 
   
 ) 
  press and hold the  INFO 
 button for 
a few seconds until the  spanner 
fl ashes 
. 
   
 ) 
 press the  INFO 
 button while the 
spanner is fl ashing to change the dis-
play  "---" 
 to  "CLEAR" 
 then the time 
remaining before the next service is 
due is displayed.  
 
 
Service overdue
O
peration
  When the ignition is switched on, you 
must press the  INFO 
 button several 
times in succession until the service 
indicator is displayed. The distance 
recorder display line indicates the 
number of miles (kilometres) remaining 
and the time elapsed line indicates the 
number of months remaining before the 
next service is due. 
  After a certain distance and a certain 
time, the display of  "---" 
 is reinitialised 
and the display indicates the time 
remaining before the next service is 
due.     System which informs the driver when 
the next service is due in accordance 
with the manufacturer's servicing 
schedule. 
  The point at which the next service is 
due is calculated from the last service 
indicator zero reset. 
  It is determined by two parameters: 
   
 
-   the distance travelled (in miles (km)), 
   
-   the time elapsed since the last ser-
vice (in months).  
  The distance remaining to be travelled 
may be weighted by the time factor, 
depending on the user's driving habits.    
Example: 
 the display indicates that 
7 300 miles (kilometres) remain before 
the next service is due. 
  The symbol  "--" 
 remains displayed 
until the fi rst service of a new vehicle 
has been carried out.  
   
Example: 
 the display indicates that the 
service is overdue. This service must 
be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or 
a qualifi ed workshop.     Each time the ignition is switched on, 
the display  "PERIODIC INSPECTION" 
 
is displayed for a few seconds to 
indicate that the service must be carried 
out without delay.

TRIP COMPUTER Average fuel consumption (l/100 km or km/l or mpg) 
  This is the average fuel 
consumption since the 
last zero reset. 
  This fi gure may change following 
a change in the style of driving or 
the relief resulting in an increase 
or decrease in the current fuel 
consumption.  
 
 
Average speed (km/h 
or mph) 
  This is the average 
speed calculated since 
the last zero reset.  
Resetting the information to zero 
 
When the ignition is switched on, the 
zero reset switches automatically from 
manual mode to automatic mode. 
  If dashes "---" are displayed for long 
periods in place of the digits while 
driving, contact a CITROËN dealer or 
a qualifi ed workshop.  
 
 
Current fuel consumption(l/100 km or km/l or mpg) 
 This is the average fuel 
consumption during the 
last few seconds of driving.

button on the dashboard, to the left 
of the instrument panel, several times 
in succession to display the different
