A few definitions…

Range
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled with the fuelremaining 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 fuelconsumption
(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 calculatedsince 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 timecounter
(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop &Star t, a time counter calculates the time spent
in STOP mode during a journey. It resets to zero every time the ignition isswitched on with the key.


This value may vary following a changein the style of driving or the relief,resulting in a significant change in thecurrent 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 ran
ge 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 (10 0 km).
Distance remaining to
destination
(miles or km)
This is the distance remaining to be travelled
to the final destination. It can be entered bythe user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes are

Automatic operation


1. Automatic "comfort" programme
Press the "AUTO"button. The "AUTO"symbol is displayed.We recommend that you use
this mode. It provides optimisedautomatic control of all of the following functions: passenger compar tment
temperature, air flow, air distribution and air
intake, in accordance with the comfort value
that
you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate effectivelyin all seasons, with the windows closed.
For your comfor t, when the engine isswitched off, the settings are retained until the engine is switched on again. To prevent too great a distribution of cold air when the engine is cold, the air flow will only reach its optimum level gradually.
2. Temperature adjustment
The value indicated on the display corresponds
to a level of comfor t and not to a temperature in
de
grees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior is very cold or hot, there is no need tochange the value displayed in order to reach the required level of comfort. The system corrects the temperature difference automatically and as quickly as possible.
Pr
ess the ""
and ""
buttons tochange this value. A setting around
the value 21 enables optimum comfor t to be obtained. However,
depending on your requirements, asetting between 18 and 24 is usual.

3. Automatic "visibility" programme
The automatic comfor t programmemay not be sufficient for rapid
demisting or defrosting of the
windscreen and side windows(humidity, several passengers, ice, etc.).
In this case, select the automatic visibility
programme. The button 3 indicator lamp comes on.
The system automatically controls the air conditioning and the flow of air and provides optimum air distribution to the windscreen andside windows. It deactivates air recirculation 5.
To exit this programme, press button 3
again or "AUTO"
, the indicator lamp on the button goes off and "AUTO"
is displayed.
With Stop & Start, when demisting has been activated, the STOP mode is notavailable.
