A few definitions… Range
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance which can
still be travelled with the fuel remain-
ing in the tank in relation to the average
consumption over the last few miles
(kilometres) travelled. Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consump-
tion during the last few seconds.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel con-
sumption since the last trip computer
zero reset.
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed cal-
culated since the last trip computer zero
reset (ignition on).
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip computer
zero reset.
This fi gure may vary following a
change in the style of driving or
the relief, resulting in a signifi -
cant change in the current con-
sumption.
If dashes are displayed continu-
ously while driving in place of
the digits, contact a CITROËN
dealer. This function is only displayed
from 20 mph (30 km/h).
When the range falls below 20 miles
(30 km), dashes are displayed. After
fi lling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the
range is recalculated and is displayed
when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km). Distance remaining to
destination
(miles or km)
This is the distance remaining to be
travelled to the fi nal destination. It can
be entered by the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes
are displayed in place of the digits.
