Information displays
You can choose between two types of display by pressing button A : - the trip computer information appears temporarily above the audio information, displayed permanently in full screen, or - the trip computer and audio information both appear permanently in a shared screen.
 Press the button, located at the end of the wiper stalk , to display the various trip computer tabs in succession.
System that gives you current information on your journey (range, fuel consumption…).

A few definitions…
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).
The fuel consumption of your vehicle will be higher than the official figures obtained by CITROËN during the first 3 000 miles (5 000 km) of the vehicle's life.
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.
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).
Current fuelconsumption
(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 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 is switched on with the key.

Rear screen demist - defrost
The control button is located on the air conditionin g system control panel.
Switching on
The rear screen demisting/defrosting can only operate when the engine is running.  Press this button to demist /defrost the rear screen and (depending on version) the door mirrors. The indicator lamp associated with the button comes on.
Switching off
The demisting/defrosting switches off automatically to prevent an excessive consumption of current.  It is possible to stop the demisting/defrosting operation before it is switched off automatically by pressing the button again. The indicator lamp associated with the button goes off.
 Switch off the demisting/defrosting of the rear screen and door mirrors as soon as appropriate, as lower current consumption results in reduced fuel consumption.

Stop & Start The Stop & Star t system puts the engine temporarily on standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as y ou want to move off. The restar t takes place instantly, quickly and silently. Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Star t system reduce s fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
With the automatic gearbox system, for your comfor t during parking maoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse gear. STOP mode does not affect the functionality of the vehicle, such as braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby:
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear lever into neutral and release the clutch pedal, - with the 6-speed electronic gearbox system , at a speed below 5 mph (8 km/h),
when you press the brake pedal or put the gear lever into position N .
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time counter calculates the sum of the periods in STOP mode during a journey. It resets itself to zero every time the ignition is switched on with the key.
STOP mode is not invoked when: - the driver's door is open, - the driver's seat belt is not fastened, - the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph (10 km/h) since the last engine start using the key, - the electric parking brake is applied or being applied, - the engine is needed to maintain a comfor table temperature in the passenger compar tment, - demisting is active, - some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance, ambient temperature...) where the engine is needed to assure control of a system.
Special cases:STOP mode unavailable
In this case, the "ECO" warning lamp flashes for a few seconds, then goes off. This operation is per fectly normal.

Wheels which are fitted with 225/40 R18 tyres cannot be fitted with snow chains. For more information, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once a month.

It bears the following information: - the tyre pressures, for unladen and laden conditions, - the wheel rim and tyre sizes, - the brands of tyre recommended by the manufacturer, - the spare tyre inflation pressure, - the paint colour code.
