A few definitions…

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).
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.
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).
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.








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.

The fuel consumption of your ve-
hicle will be higher than the offi cial
fi gures obtained by CITROËN dur-
ing the fi rst 3 000 miles (5 000 km)
of the vehicle's life.
