A few definitions…

Range
(miles or km)
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Stop & Start timecounter
(minutes / seconds or hours /
minutes)
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. 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 indicates the distance which can still betravelled with the fuel remaining in the tank inrelation to the average fuel consumption over
the last few miles (kilometres) travelled. This is the avera
ge fuel consumption during the last few seconds.

This is the distance remaining to be travelledto the final destination. It can be entered by the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes are
displayed in place of the digits.

I
f your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Star t, a timecounter calculates the time spent in STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key.



Distance travelled
(miles or km)

This indicates the distance travelled since thelast 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).
Average fuelconsumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)

This is the average fuel consumption since the last trip computer zero reset.
This function is only displayed from 20 mph (30 km/h).
