A few definitions…

This value may vary following a
change in the style of driving or
the relief, resulting in a signifi -
cant change in the current fuel
consumption.
If dashes are displayed continu-
ously while driving in place of the
digits, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop. This function is only displayed
from 20 mph (30 km/h).
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 consump-
tion over the last few miles (kilometres)
travelled.
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).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel con-
sumption during the last few
seconds.

Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)

This is the average fuel con-
sumption since the last trip
computer zero reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed calcu-
lated 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 fi tted with Stop & Start,
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.

The fuel consumption of your
vehicle will be higher than
the offi cial fi gures obtained
by CITROËN during the fi rst
3 000 miles (5 000 km) of the
vehicle's life.

9. "REST" function: ventilation with
the engine off

On switching on the engine



- The control screens come on: the
function is available.

- Pressing the REST
button activates
the ventilation for a few minutes.
Activation of the function is con-
fi rmed by the display of two dashes
in the control screens and four air
fl ow level indicator lamps.

- The function can be deactivated and
reactivated if the control screens
are on.

- The screens go off at the end of this
period.
On stopping the engine

on: the function is available.

- Pressing the REST
button activates
the ventilation for a few minutes.
Activation of the function is con-
fi rmed by the display of two dashes
in the control screens and four air
fl ow level indicator lamps.
Locking the vehicle has no effect on
this function.

- The control screens go off at the
end of this period.
Pressing again before the end of
the period interrupts off the ventila-
tion defi nitively: the control screens
go off and the function is no longer
available. )
Turn the air fl ow control to
the left until all of the indi-
cator lamps go off.
This action switches off the air condi-
tioning and the ventilation.
Temperature related comfort is no lon-
ger assured but a slight fl ow of air, due
to the movement of the vehicle, can still
be felt.

Modify the settings (temperature,
air fl ow or air distribution) or press
the "AUTO"
button to reactivate the
system with the values set before it
was switched off.
This switch does not operate the
air conditioning, only the air fan.
When the "REST" function is ac-
tivated, you cannot modify the
temperature, air fl ow and distri-
bution settings: these are con-
trolled automatically according
to the ambient temperature.
This function is not available in
the STOP mode of Stop & Start.
Even with the engine is off,
you can operate the ventila-
tion for a few minutes.
For example, while you are
away from the vehicle, the pas-
sengers can still enjoy some air circula-
tion without having the engine running.
This function is available after switching
on the ignition, as well as after stopping
the engine.
The period that the function is available
depends on the state of charge of the
battery.
You can activate the "REST" func-
tion while the air conditioning control
screens are on.
