Related to the average fuel consumption over
the last few kilometres travelled.
This value may vary following a change in the driving style 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 if it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
If dashes are displayed continuously
while driving instead of the digits, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Current fuel consumption

smells.
►

T

o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Manufacturer’s service schedule.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems
only operate when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
