MONITORING
Service indicator
System which informs the driver when the
next service is due, in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last indicator zero
reset. It is determined by two parame-
ters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last
service.
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner goes off
; the
distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The display then indicates
the total and trip distances.
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Example:
400 miles (900 km) remain
before the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its nor-
mal operation. The spanner remains on
to indicate that a service must be carried
out soon.
Between 600 miles (1 000 km) and
1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain before
the next service is due
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbolising the
service operations comes on. The distance
recorder display line indicates the distance
remaining before the next service is due.
Example:
1 739 miles (2 800 km) re-
main before the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no
service information appears on the
display.

corder zero reset button,
)
switch on the ignition; the distance
recorder display begins a count-
down,
)
when the display indicates "=0"
,

appears. The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, de-
pending on the type of driving.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded
the two year service interval.
Service overdue
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner fl ashes
to in-
dicate that the service must be carried
out as soon as possible.
Example:
the service is overdue by
180 miles (300 km).
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:

MULTIFUNCTION SCREENS
A few definitions…
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 displayed 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 function is only displayed
from 20 mph (30 km/h).
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.
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
consumption since the last
trip computer zero reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip
computer zero reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed
calculated since the last trip
computer zero reset (igni-
tion on).
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 acti-
vated, 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 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.
