- the time elapsed since the last service(in months).
The distance remaining to be travelled may be
wei
ghted by the time factor, depending on theuse made of the vehicle.

Monitoring
When the engine is
running, this indicates the
temperature of the coolant.
Range
When the engine isrunning , this indicates
the distance which can still be travelled with thefuel remaining in the tankbased on the average
fuel consumption over the
last few miles/kilometres
travelled.

This value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,resulting in a large variation in the current fuel consumption.
If you only add a few litres, the value
displayed will be incorrect. Therefore,you must fill the tank whenever possible.
Coolant temperature
gauge
If the bar is close to the criticalposition located
on the right, the temperature is too high.
The symbol flashes when your engine is
overheating.
You must stop your vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.Wait a few minutes before switching off theengine.
When the range is less than 30 miles (50 km),
dashes are displayed.
Refuel as soon as possible. The display of the range is updated.


Wait for the engine to cool beforetopping up the level. The cooling system is pressurised.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap by two turns to allow thepressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped,remove the cap and top up the level, if necessary.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.


When you disconnect the battery, the previous fuel consumption data is lost and the value displayed will be different from that displayed before thebattery was disconnected. The distancedisplayed must be considered anapproximate indication.
