MONITORING
A few definitions…
Range
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled
with the fuel remaining in the tank in
relation to the average fuel consump-
tion over the last few miles (kilometres)
travelled.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel con-
sumption 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.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed calcu-
lated 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 value may vary following a
change in the style of driving or
the relief, resulting in a signifi -
cant change in the current fuel
consumption.
If dashes are displayed continu-
ously while driving in place of the
digits, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop. 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 ll-
ing 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.
Stop & Start time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)
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 ignition
is switched on with the key.
