(minutes /sec onds or hour s /minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted 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.
This value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,
resulting in a significant change in the
current fuel consumption.
If dashes are displayed continuously
while driving in place of the digits,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. 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.
