A few definitions… Range
(km or miles)
This fi gure may increase following a
change in the style of driving or the
relief, resulting in a signifi cant change
in the current consumption.
When the range falls below 20 miles
(30 km), dashes are displayed. After
fi lling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the
range is recalculated and is displayed
when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
If dashes are displayed continuously
while driving in place of the digits,
contact a CITROËN dealer.
This indicates the distance which
can still be travelled with the fuel
remaining in the tank in relation to
the average consumption over the
last few miles (kilometres) travelled.
Current consumption
(l/100 km or km/l or mpg)
Average consumption
(l/100 km or km/l or mpg)
This is the average quantity of fuel
consumed since the last trip compu-
ter zero reset. Distance travelled
(km or miles)
This indicates the distance travelled
since the last trip computer zero
reset. Average speed
(km/h or mph)
This is the average speed calculated
since the last trip computer zero
reset (ignition on).
Distance remaining to
destination
(km or miles)
This is the distance remaining to be
travelled to the fi nal destination. It is
either calculated instantly by the
navigation system, if guidance is
activated, or entered by the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes
are displayed in place of the digits.
This function is only displayed from
20 mph (30 km/h).
This is the average quantity of
fuel consumed during the last few
seconds.

Air conditioning
To ensure that your system operates
correctly, it is recommended to have
it checked regularly.
Water arising from condensation
in the air conditioning drains away
through a hole provided for this pur-
pose. A pool of water may thus form
under the vehicle when stationary.
To keep the air conditioning com-
pressor well sealed, it is essential to
operate the air conditioning at least
once in every month.
Regardless of the season, the air
conditioning is useful, since it re-
moves humidity and condensation.
To be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the win-
dows closed.
If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight
the interior temperature is excessive,
air the passenger compartment by
opening the windows for a few mo-
ments, then close them again.
The air conditioning operates by using
power from the engine. This results in
a slight increase in fuel consumption.

Dust filter/Odour filter
(active carbon)
There is a fi lter for excluding odours
and dust.
This fi lter has to be changed in ac-
cordance with the vehicle mainte-
nance schedule (see "Maintenance
Guide").
Air circulation
Air vents on the fl oor underneath the
front seats provide enhanced heat-
ing for the rear seat positions; take
care not to obstruct them.
Air vents
The air vents to the face have grilles
and thumbwheels to adjust the air
fl ow and direction (up-down, right-
left).
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning, inside the cabin, uses
a number of sensors (sunlight sen-
sor, outside temperature sensor...)
that relieve you of the need to make
frequent adjustments outside the
displayed temperature.
Be careful not to obstruct the sun-
light sensor, located on the dash-
board behind the instrument panel.
