41Monitoring
System which informs the driver when the
next ser vice is due, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
The point at which the ser vice is due is
calculated from the last indicator zero reset.
It is determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last ser vice.
Service indicator
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 ser vice
operations comes on. The distance recorder
display line indicates the distance remaining
before the next ser vice is due.
Example:
1 700 miles/2 800 km remain before
the next ser vice is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the display indicates:
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Example:
400 miles/900 km remain before the
next ser vice 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 normal
operation. The spanner remains on
to
indicate that a ser vice must be carried out
soon.
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.
More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no ser vice
information appears on the display.

A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains
on
.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depending
on the driver's driving habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also come
on if you have exceeded the two year
ser vice inter val.
Service indicator zero reset

be reset to zero.
The procedure for resetting to zero is as
follows:
)
switch off the ignition,
)
press and hold the trip distance recorder
zero reset button,
)
switch on the ignition; the distance recorder
display begins a countdown,
)
when the display indicates "=0"
, release
the button; the spanner disappears. Following this operation, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle
and wait at least five minutes for the
zero reset to be taken into account.
Retrieving the service information
You can access the ser vice information at any
time.
)
Press the trip distance recorder zero reset
button.
The ser vice information is displayed for a
few seconds, then disappears.

the oil filler cap, using the
grade of oil suited to your
engine.

A few definitions…
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 consumption over the last few miles
(kilometres) travelled.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consumption
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.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed calculated
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 /sec onds or hour s /minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted 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.
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. This function is only displayed from
20 mph (30 km/h).
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 when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
Distance remaining to
destination
(miles or km)
This is the distance remaining to be travelled
to the final destination. It can be entered by
the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes are
displayed in place of the digits.
