Trip computer
Monochrome screen A
Information displays
 Press the button, located at the end of the wiper stalk , to display the various items of trip computer information in succession.
The trip computer provides the following information:
- range,
- current fuel consumption,
- Stop & Star t time counter,
- distance travelled,
- average fuel consumption,
- average speed.
 The next press then returns you tothe normal display.
System that gives you current information on your journey (range, fuel consumption…).
Zero reset
 Press the control for more thantwo seconds to reset to zero the distance travelled, the average fuel consumption and the average speed.

A few definitions…
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.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consumption duringthe last few seconds.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l) This is the average fuel consumption sincethe 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 time counter
(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.
This value may vary following a change in the style of driving or the relief, resulting in a significant change inthe current fuel consumption.
If dashes are displayed continuously while driving in place of the digits, contact a CITROËN dealer.
This function is only displayed from 20 mph (30 km/h).
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).
Distance remaining to destination
(miles or km) This is the distance remaining to be travelled to the final destination. It can be entered by the user. If the distance is not entered, dashes are displayed in place of the digits.

Rear screen demist - defrost
The control button is located on the heating or air conditioning 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 switches 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.
If the engine is switched off before the demisting/defrosting is switched off automatically, demisting/defrosting will resume next time the engine is switched on.

Manual operation
D disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession on the instrument panel. In the event of the engine labouring or over-revving, the gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time. When the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1automatically. The spor t and snow programmes do not operate in manual mode.
Invalid value during manual operation
 Select position M for sequential changing of the four gears.  Push the lever towards the + sign to change up a gear.  Pull the lever towards the - sign to change down a gear. It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speed permit; other wise, the gearbox will operate temporarily in automatic mode.
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (selector between two positions).
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can engage position P or N to place the gearbox in neutral. In both cases, apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
When the ignition is on, the lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the multifunction screen, indicates a gearbox malfunction. In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a substantial knock when changing from P to R RRand from N to R . This will not cause any damage to the gearbox. Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions permitting. Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
Operating fault
If the lever is not in position P , Pwhen the driver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, a message appears in the multifunction screen.  Return the lever to position P ; the
message disappears.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox: - if you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time, - if you force the movement of the gear lever from the P position to another
position when the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at a prolonged standstill with the engine running (traffic jam...), put the gear lever in the N position and apply the parking brake.
