MULTIFUNCTION SCREENS





A few definitions…


Range
(miles or km)
This value may vary following a
change in the style of driving or
the relief, resulting in a signifi cant
change in the current fuel con-
sumption.
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 dis-
played when it exceeds 60 miles
(100 km).
If dashes are displayed continu-
ously while driving in place of the
digits, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop. This indicates the distance which
can still be travelled with the fuel re-
maining in the tank in relation to the
average fuel consumption over the
last few miles (kilometres) travelled.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)

Average fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel
consumption since the last trip com-
puter zero reset.

Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed calculated
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.



Distance remaining to
destination
(miles or km)
This is the distance remaining to be
travelled to the fi nal destination. It
is either calculated instantly by the
navigation system, if guidance is ac-
tivated, or entered by the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes
are displayed in place of the digits.
This function is only displayed from
20 mph (30 km/h). This is the average fuel consump-
tion during the last few seconds.
If your vehicle is fi tted with Stop &
Start, a time counter calculates the
time spent in STOP mode during a
journey.
It resets to zero every time the igni-
tion is switched on with the key.

COMFORT
DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING
The air conditioning system operates
with the engine running.

1. Automatic comfort
regulation
A press on this button,
confi rmed by the display of
the A/C
warning lamp and
of AUTO
on the screen, pro-
vides automatic control, at the tem-
perature selected, of all the following
5 functions:


- air fl ow,

- passenger compartment tem-
perature, left and right,

- air distribution,

- air conditioning,

- automatic air recirculation. For this facility to operate, it is rec-
ommended that all air vents are kept
open.
Using the AUTO
mode will prevent
the formation of mist inside the ve-
hicle in cold or humid weather.
When starting from cold, in order to
avoid a rush of cold air, the air fan
attains its optimum level progres-
sively.

2. Adjustment of temperature

To display the desired temperature,
press button:


- -
to decrease the temperature,

- +
to increase the temperature.
A setting around 21 will provide
an agreeable temperature level.
However, depending on your prefer-
ence, anything between 18 and 24
is quite normal.
For optimum comfort, it is recom-
mended to avoid a difference of set-
tings of more than than 3 between
right and left.
Actual temperatures experienced in
the passenger compartment are de-
pendent on external factors and for
this reason might not be identical to
those displayed.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
hotter) than would be comfortable. It
serves no purpose to alter the tem-
perature displayed in an attempt to
attain your preference more rapidly.
The system operates automatically
to correct the difference in tempera-
ture as soon as possible.
Manual resumption of one or
more functions

It is possible to adjust each of the
functions 3, 4
, 6
and 10
manually.
The display of the "AUTO"
function
will then go off.

Resumption by the driver of the
adjustment of passenger compart-
ment temperatures
(for the front and
rear passengers)

A long press on the "AUTO" but-
ton cancels all personal settings,
including the passenger's tem-
perature, and returns the system
to automatic operation

Model with rear foglamp only

Model with front and rear
foglamps





In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, use of the front foglamps
and the rear foglamp is prohibited.
In these situations, the power of
their beams may dazzle other dri-
vers. They should only be used in
fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps and dipped beam head-
lamps manually as the sunshine
sensor may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamp
when they are no longer necessary.

Switching off the lamps when
the ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except
for the dipped beam headlamps if
guide-me-home lighting is activated.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the pres-
ence of misting on the internal sur-
face of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal; it disap-
pears after the lamps have been on
for a few minutes.

Switching on the lamps after
the ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate
ring A
to the "0"
position - lamps off,
then to the desired position.
On opening the driver's door a
temporary audible signal warns the
driver that the lighting is on.
The lamps, with the exception of
the sidelamps, switch off automati-
cally after a period that depends on
the state of charge of the battery
(entering energy economy mode).

DRIVING
GEAR EFFICIENCY
INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel con-
sumption by advising the driver to
change up on vehicles fi tted with a
manual gearbox.

Operation

The system intervenes only when
driving economically.
Depending on the driving situation
and your vehicle's equipment, the
system may advise you to skip one
or more gears. You can follow this
instruction without engaging the in-
termediate gears.
The gear recommended should not
be considered compulsory. In fact,
the confi guration of the road, the
amount of traffi c and safety remain
determining factors when choosing
the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the advice
given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.

* According to engine.
Example:


- You are in third gear.

- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.

- The system may suggest that
you engage a higher gear, if ap-
propriate.
The information appears in the form
of an arrow in the instrument panel
screen.
Depending on your vehicle's equip-
ment, this arrow may be accompanied
by the recommended gear.

In the case of driving which
makes particular demands
on the performance of the
engine (fi rm pressure on
the accelerator pedal, for example,
when overtaking...), the system will
not recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging fi rst gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.
