Trip computer
Range
(miles or km)
The distance which can still be 
travelled with the fuel remaining in 
the tank (related to the average fuel 
consumption over the last few miles 
(kilometres) travelled).
This value may vary following a change 
in the style of driving or the relief, 
resulting in a significant change in the 
current fuel consumption.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km), 
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least 
5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is 
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km). If dashes are displayed continuously 
while driving in place of the digits, 
contact a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop. This function is only displayed from 
20
  mph (30 km/h).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated over the last few seconds.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated since the last trip reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Calculated since the last trip reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
Calculated since the last trip reset.
Stop & Star t time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours / 
minutes)
A time counter calculates the time spent in 
STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is 
switched on.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The engine 
restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Operation
Going into engine STOP 
mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the instrument 
panel and the engine goes into standby 
automatically.
- 
W
 ith a manual gearbox, at speeds below 
12 mph (20 km/h), or vehicle stationary 
(with PureTech 130, THP 165 and 
BlueHDi
  100, 115 and 120 versions), when 
you place the gear lever in neutral, and you 
release the clutch pedal,
-
 
Wi
 th an automatic gearbox,  with the 
vehicle stationary, when you press the 
brake pedal or place the gear selector lever 
at position N .
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time 
counter calculates the sum of the periods in 
STOP mode during a journey. It resets itself to 
zero every time the ignition is switched on with 
the START/STOP button. Never refuel with the engine in STOP 
mode; you must switch off the ignition 
with the START/STOP button. For your comfort, during parking 
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not 
available for a few seconds after 
coming out of reverse gear.
The Stop & Start system does not affect 
the functionality of the vehicle, such as 
for example, braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not 
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-
 t he driver's door is open,
-
 
t
 he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-
 
t
 he vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph 
(10
  km/h) since the last engine start using 
the START/STOP button,
-
 
t
 he electric parking brake is applied or 
being applied,
-
 
t
 he engine is needed to maintain a 
comfortable temperature in the passenger 
compartment,
-
 
d
 emisting is selected,
-
 
s
 ome special conditions (battery charge, 
engine temperature, braking assistance, 
exterior temperature, etc.) where the 
engine is needed for control of a system.
In this case, this indicator lamp flashes 
for a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.

Cruise control - "CRUISE"
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at all times.
S
witching on  the cruise control requires a 
minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h).
As well as engagement of:
-
 
f
ourth gear or higher on a manual gearbox,
-
 
s
econd gear or higher in manual mode on 
an automatic gearbox,
-
 
position 
D on an automatic gearbox.
The system remains active after changing gear 
on vehicles with a manual gearbox and Stop & 
Start.
The cruise control is paused  by pressing 
button 4 or the brake pedal or on triggering of 
the ESC system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed 
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply 
release the accelerator pedal until the 
programmed cruise speed is reached again. 1.

The dynamic cruise control is switched on 
manually: it requires that the speed of the 
vehicle be between 25 and 90 mph (40 and 
150
  km/h), as well as the engagement of:
-
 
f
 ourth gear or higher with a manual 
gearbox,
-
 
s
 econd gear or higher with an automatic 
gearbox in manual mode,
-
  position  D with an automatic gearbox.
The system remains active after changing gear 
on vehicles with a manual gearbox and Stop & 
Start.
General points
The dynamic cruise control can be paused  
manually or automatically:
-
 
b
 y pressing button 4 ,
-
 
b
 y pressing the brake pedal,
-
 
i
 n the event of operation of the ESC, for 
safety reasons,
-
 
i
 n the event of operation of the electric 
parking brake control lever,
-
 
w
 hen an inter-vehicle time threshold is 
reached (calculated according to the 
relative speeds of your vehicle and the 
vehicle in front and the inter-vehicle time 
setting chosen),
-
 
w
 hen the distance between your vehicle 
and the one in front becomes too small,
-
 
w
 hen the speed of the vehicle in front is 
too
 
low,
-
 
w
 hen the speed of your vehicle becomes 
too low.
The dynamic cruise control cannot in any 
circumstances replace the observation 
of speed limits, nor the need for vigilance 
on the part of the driver.
It is recommended that you always keep 
your feet close to the pedals. If the speed setting selected is above 
90 mph (150 km/h), the system switches 
to standard cruise control operation, 
with no adjustment of the inter-vehicle 
safe distance (a message appears in 
the instrument panel). The inter-vehicle time setting is kept in 
memory on switching off the ignition.
The dynamic cruise control operates by 
day and at night, in fog or in moderate 
rainfall.
The system does not act on the braking 
system, but works only with engine braking.
The regulation range is limited: there will 
no longer be any adjustment of speed if the 
difference between the programmed speed 
setting and the speed of the vehicle in front 
becomes too high (18 mph (30 km/h)).
If the difference between the 
programmed speed setting and the 
speed of the vehicle in front is too 
great, the speed cannot be adjusted: 
the cruise control is automatically 
deactivated.

No vehicle detected: 
the system operates as a standard cruise control.
Detection of a vehicle, at the limit of the range of the radar: 
the system operates as a standard cruise control.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" Detection of a vehicle that is too close or running at a speed lower than your 
vehicle's cruise speed setting.
The system uses engine braking to slow your vehicle and then hold it at the speed of 
the vehicle in front so as to maintain the programmed inter-vehicle time.
The regulation range is limited to a maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h) 
between the speed setting and the speed of the vehicle ahead.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" When the adjusted speed reaches the control limit (speed setting - 20 mph 
(30
  km/h)), the adjusted speed flashes together with the speed setting, to signal that 
automatic deactivation of the system is imminent.
"Cruise control 
paused" If the system exceeds the limit of speed adjustment possible by the system and 
in the absence of any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator, 
change of lane, reduction of the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically 
paused.
The display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.
