A few definitions…
Range
(miles or km)
The distance which can still be
travelled with the fuel remaining
in the tank (at the average fuel
consumption seen 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 trip
computer reset.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed.
After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the
range is recalculated and is displayed if it
exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
Stop & Start time
counter
(minutes / seconds or hours /
m inutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with

calculates the time spent in
STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the
ignition is switched on with
the
key.
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 significant change in the
current fuel consumption.
If dashes are displayed continuously
while driving in place of the digits,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
