This function is only displayed from 30 km/h.


This value may vary following a changein the style of driving or the relief,resulting in a significant change in thecurrent fuel consumption.






Tr ip computer, a few definitions
Range
(km)
The number of kilometres which can be covered with the fuel remaining in the tank. Related
to the average fuel consumption over the last few kilometres
travelled.

When the ran
ge falls below 30 km, dashes are
displayed. After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is displayed
when it exceeds 100 km.

Current fuel consumption
(l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated during the last few seconds.


Average fuel consumption
(l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated since the last trip reset.


Average speed
(km/h)

Access
When the low fuel level in the tank is reached, this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel.
Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results from the sealing of the fuel system.
























Fuel tank
Capacity of the tank: approximately 50 litres.

A label on the inside of the filler flap reminds you of the type of fuel to use according to your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to be registered by the fuel gauge.


Refuelling
)Open the filler cap by turning it a 1/4 turn to
the left.)Remove the filler cap and hang it on its carrier (on the filler flap).)Fill the tank. Do not continue past the thirdcut-off of the nozzle, as this may causemalfunctions. )Refit the filler cap turning it a 1/4 turn to the right. )Push the filler flap to close it.
Opening
)Raise the lever. When it first comes on,
around 5 litres
of fuel
remain in the tank.

Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comesinto contact with the flap. The system remains closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel typefiller nozzle.
















Misfuel prevention (Diesel) * Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of
engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
*
Accordin
g to country of sale.

It remains possible to use a fuel can to fill the tank.In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in direct contact with the flap of themisfuel prevention device and pour slowly.



Tr a v e l l i ng abroad

As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, thepresence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, werecommend that you check with the CITROËN dealer network, whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps inthe country in which you want to travel.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for your vehicle, you must have havethe tank drained and refilled with the correct fuel before you start theengine.


Fuel supply cut-off

Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.

with E10 or E24 type petrol biofuels (containing10 % or 24 % ethanol), conforming to Europeanstandards EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type
fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol) are reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed
for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex
vehicles). The quality of the ethanol mustcomply with European standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are marketed

Driving
Automated mode
AUTOand the gear engaged appear in the instrument panel.

Manual mode
The gears engaged appear insuccession in the instrument panel.
The
gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any action on the par t of thedriver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear taking account of:
- optimisation of fuel consumption,
- driving style,
- road conditions,
- v
ehicle load.
For optimum acceleration, when over takinganother vehicle for example, press theaccelerator pedal fully down, beyond the point of resistance. The
gear change requests are only carried out
i
f the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
pedal during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox changes down automatically so that the vehicle
picks up in the right gear.
Under full acceleration, the change up will not
take place unless the driver operates the gear lever (unless the engine is close to its maximum
speed).

Never select neutral (position N ) when moving.



You can change mode at any time bymoving the gear lever from Ato Mor the other way round.
Never select neutral (position N) whenmoving.
You can change mode at any time by moving the gear lever from A
to M
or the other way round.
)Select position A.)
Select position M.


Reverse
To engage reverse, the vehicle must be
immobilised with
your foot on the brake.)Select position R.

At low speed, if reverse gear is requested, the Nwarning lamp flashes and the gearbox goes
into neutral automatically.
To e n
gage reverse, put the gear lever intoposition N, then to position R
.


There is an audible signal onengagement of reverse.

Manual operation
)Select position M for sequentialchanging
o
f the four gears.)Push the lever towards the + sign tochange up a gear. )Pull the lever towards the -
sign to change
down a gear.
It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speedpermit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
D disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession in the
instrument panel.

Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).



Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you can engage
position Por N
to place the gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.

Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and amessage in the multifunction screen, indicates
a gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from Pto Rand from N to R
. This will not cause any damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
I
f the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or movingvery slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1automatically. The spor t and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.

There is a risk of damage to thegearbox:


- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time,

- if you force the movement of the gear lever from the Pposition toanother position when the battery isflat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the enginerunning (traffic jam...), put the gear lever in the Nposition and apply the parkingbrake.

If the lever is not in position P
, when the Pdriver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switchedoff, a warning message appears in the screen.)Return the lever to position P; the message disappears.
