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 consump-
tion over the last few miles (kilometres)
travelled.
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.

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).
When the range falls below 20 miles
(30 km), dashes are displayed. After fi ll-
ing 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 fi nal destination. It
can be entered by the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes
are displayed in place of the digits.








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.

COMFORT
DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING
The air conditioning operates when the
engine is running, as well as in STOP
mode with Stop & Start. For your comfort, when the en-
gine is switched off, the settings
are retained until the engine is
switched on again.
To prevent too great a distribu-
tion of cold air when the engine
is cold, the air fl ow will only reach
its optimum level gradually.
On entering the vehicle, if the
interior is very cold or hot, there
is no need to change the value
displayed in order to reach the
required level of comfort. The
system corrects the temperature
difference automatically and as
quickly as possible.


1. Automatic "comfort" programme
Press the "AUTO"
button. The
"AUTO"
symbol is displayed.
We recommend that you use this mode.
It provides optimised automatic control
of all of the following functions: passen-
ger compartment temperature, air fl ow,
air distribution and air intake, in accor-
dance with the comfort value that you
have chosen.
This system is designed to operate ef-
fectively in all seasons, with the windows
closed.
2. Temperature adjustment
The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
Press the "



"
and "



"
but-
tons to change this value. A
setting around the value 21
en-
ables optimum comfort to be
obtained. However, depending
on your requirements, a setting
between 18 and 24 is usual.
3. Automatic "visibility" programme
The automatic comfort pro-
gramme may not be suffi cient
for rapid demisting or defrost-
ing of the windscreen and side
windows (humidity, several
passengers, ice, etc.).
In this case, select the automatic visibil-
ity programme. The button 3
indicator
lamp comes on.
The system automatically controls the
air conditioning and the fl ow of air and
provides optimum air distribution to the
windscreen and side windows. It deacti-
vates air recirculation 5
.
To exit this programme, press button 3

again or "AUTO"
, the indicator lamp on
the button goes off and "AUTO"
is dis-
played.


Manual override

It is possible to adjust one or more func-
tions manually while leaving the other
functions in automatic mode.
The "AUTO"
symbol switches off.
To return to automatic mode, press the
"AUTO"
button.
Switching to manual mode may
not be suitable (temperature,
humidity, odour, condensation)
and does not provide optimum
comfort.

REAR SCREEN DEMIST -DEFROST

Switchin
g 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 indi-
cator lamp associated with the but-
ton comes on.



Switching off

The demisting/defrosting switches off
automatically to prevent an excessive
consumption of current.


)
It is possible to stop the demisting/de-
frosting operation before it is switched
off automatically by pressing the but-
ton again. The indicator lamp associ-
ated with the button switches off. The control button is located on
the heating or air conditioning
system control panel.
If the engine is switched off be-
fore the demisting/defrosting is
switched off automatically, dem-
isting/defrosting will resume next
time the engine is switched on.


)
Switch off the demisting/de-
frosting of the rear screen
and door mirrors as soon as
appropriate as lower current
consumption results in re-
duced fuel consumption.







With Stop & Start, when dem-
isting has been activated, the
STOP mode is not available.

ACCESS
Anti-theft protection

Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the
ignition is switched on, this code must
be recognised in order for starting to be
possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks
the engine management system a few
minutes after the ignition is switched off
and prevents starting of the engine by
anyone who does not have the key.
In the event of a fault, you
are informed by illumina-
tion of this warning lamp,
an audible signal and a message in the
screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start;
contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible.
Keep safely the label attached to the
keys given to you on acquisition of the
vehicle.
