A few definitions… Range
(miles or km) Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Average fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Distance travelled
(miles or km) Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This indicates the distance which
can still be travelled with the fuel re-
maining in the tank based on the av-
erage fuel consumption over the last
few miles (kilometres) travelled. T h i s fi g u r e m a y i n c r e a s e f o l l o w -
ing a change in the style of driving
o r t e r r a i n , r e s u l t i n g i n a s i g n i fi c a n t
change in the current fuel con-
sumption.
When the range falls below 20 miles
(30 km), dashes are displayed. After
fi l l i n g w i t h a t l e a s t 5 l i t r e s o f f u e l ,
the range is recalculated and is dis-
p l a y e d w h e n i t e x c e e d s 6 0 m i l e s
(100 km).
If dashes are displayed continu-
ously while driving in place of the
digits, contact a CITROËN dealer. This function is only displayed
above 20 mph (30 km/h).
This is the average fuel consump-
tion during the last few seconds.
This is the average fuel consump-
tion since the last trip computer zero
reset.
This indicates the distance travelled
since the last trip computer zero reset. This is the average speed calculat-
ed since the last trip computer zero
reset (ignition on).

Air conditioning
We recommend use of the automatic
regulation of the air conditioning.
It permits automatic and optimised
control of all of the following func-
t i o n s : a i r fl o w , t e m p e r a t u r e i n t h e
passenger compartment and air
distribution, by means of various
s e n s o r s ( e x t e r i o r t e m p e r a t u r e , s u n -
shine). This eliminates any need for
you to change your settings other
than the temperature value dis-
played.
Please do not block the sunshine
sensor A .
If you select the automatic mode (by
pressing the "AUTO" control) and
leave all of the vents open, optimum
comfort will be maintained and humid-
ity and condensation will be removed
r e g a r d l e s s o f t h e e x t e r i o r c l i m a t i c c o n -
ditions.
The temperature in the passenger
compartment can only be lower than
t h e e x t e r i o r t e m p e r a t u r e i f t h e a i r
conditioning is on.
VENTILATION, HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to be effective, the air condi-
tioning must be used with the windows
closed. If the vehicle has been parked
in the sun for a long period and the in-
terior temperature is very high, venti-
late the passenger compartment with
the windows open for a few minutes,
then close the windows.
To keep the air conditioning system
in good working order it is essential
that it is operated at least once a
month.
The air conditioning uses the engine
power during its operation. As a result,
the fuel consumption of the vehicle in-
creases.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
o u s u s e ( e . g . t o w i n g t h e m a x i m u m
load on a steep gradient in high tem-
peratures), switching off the air condi-
tioning permits the recovery of engine
power and therefore increases the
towing capacity.
Air inlet
C h e c k t h a t t h e e x t e r i o r g r i l l e f o r t h e
air inlet, at the bottom of the wind-
screen, is clean and free of dead
leaves, snow, etc.
When washing the vehicle using a
high pressure nozzle, avoid spray-
ing at the air inlet. Air circulation
M a x i m u m c o m f o r t i s o b t a i n e d b y
means of a good distribution of air in
the passenger compartment, both in
the front and in the rear.
To obtain a uniform distribution of

base of the windscreen, the vents,

Once the screen is clear, press-

"AUTO" mode.
Press control 7 , with
the engine running, to

- The water resulting from the air conditioning condensation
is discharged via an open-

therefore, a puddle of water
may form underneath the ve-

- In all seasons, if the weather is cool, the air conditioning
is useful as it removes the
humidity from the air and the
condensation. Avoid driving
for prolonged periods with the
air conditioning switched off.
However, demisting resumes when
the engine is switched on again.
S w i t c h o f f t h e r e a r s c r e e n a n d e x t e r i o r

this necessary as low current con-

Press control 8 sever-
al times to set the air
intake mode, the indi-
cator lamp comes on.
It must be cancelled as soon as
possible to permit renewal of the
air in the passenger compartment
and demisting.
