A few definitions…
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 fluctuate if a change
of driving style or terrain results in a
significant change in the current fuel
consumption.
Dashes are displayed when the range falls
below 19 miles (30 km).
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 instead of figures continue to
be displayed when driving, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l) Calculated during the last few
seconds.
This function is only displayed at speeds
above 19 mph (30 km/h).
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l) Calculated since the last trip
computer reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Calculated since the last trip
computer reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)Calculated since the last trip
computer reset.
Stop & Star t time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)
A cumulative time counter for periods in STOP
mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.
Distance recorders
The total and trip distances are displayed for
thirty seconds when the ignition is switched off,
when the driver's door is opened and when the
vehicle is locked or unlocked.
