Definitions
Range
(miles or km)Distance that can still be travelled with the 
fuel remaining in the tank (based on the 
average fuel consumption over the last few miles 
(kilometres) travelled).
This value may vary following a change in driving 
style or terrain, leading to a significant change in 
current fuel consumption.
When the range falls below 19 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 62 
miles (100
  km).
If dashes instead of figures continue to be 
displayed while driving, contact a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Current 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).
