When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (10 0 km).
Range
(miles or km)The distance which can still be
travelled with the fuel remainingin the tank. Related to theaverage fuel consumption over
the last few miles (kilometres)travelled.


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
computer reset.


Distance travelled
(miles or km)
Calculated since the last tripcomputer reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
Distance remaining todestination
(miles or km)This is the distance remaining to be
travelled to the final destination. It
is either calculated instantly by the
navigation system, if guidance isactivated, or 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 fitted with Stop & Star t, a time counter calculates the
time spent in STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero ever
y time theignition is switched on with the key.

If dashes are displayed continuouslywhile driving in place of the digits, contact a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.


This value may vary following a changein the style of driving or the relief,resulting in a significant change in thecurrent fuel consumption.
This function is only displayed from 20 mph (30 km/h).

The driver and
front passenger can
each adjust the temperature to their
requirements.
)Turn control 2or 3 to the left or to the right
respectively to decrease or increase this value. A setting around the value 21 provides

2. Driver's side adjustment






Dual-zone digital air conditioning
We recommend the use of this mode: it permitsautomatic and optimised adjustment of all
of the functions, passenger compartment
temperature, air flow, air distribution and air
recirculation, in accordance with the comfort
value that you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate effectively in all seasons, with the windows closed. The value indicated on the displa
y corresponds
to a level of comfor t and not to a temperature in
de
grees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
1. Automatic comfortprogramme
3. Passenger's side adjustment
On entering the vehicle, if the interior temperature is much colder or warmer than the comfort value, there is noneed to change the value displayed in order to obtain the comfort required. The system corrects the difference in temperature automatically and asquickly as possible.
When the engine is cold, to prevent too great a distribution of cold air, the air flow will reach its optimum levelgradually. In cold weather, it favours the distribution of warm air to thewindscreen, side windows and footwells only.

Gear effi ciency indicator *


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
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations mustnot be considered compulsory. In fact, the configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors whenchoosing 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. Example:
- You are in third
gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow accompanied by
the suggested gear.

*
Accordin
g to engine. - You press the accelerator pedal
moderatel
y.
- The s
ystem may suggest that you engage a
higher gear, if appropriate.

In the case of driving which makespar ticular demands on the performance of the engine (firm pressure on theaccelerator pedal, for example, whenover taking...), the system will not recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging first gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear. S
ystem which reduces fuel consumption by
advising the driver to change up on vehicles
fitted with a manual gearbox.
