MULTIFUNCTION SCREENS





A few definitions…
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).
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).
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.
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
consumption since the last
trip computer zero reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip
computer zero reset.


Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed
calculated since the last trip
computer zero reset (igni-
tion on).

Distance remaining to
destination
(miles or km)
This is the distance remaining
to be travelled to the fi nal destination.
It is either calculated instantly by the
navigation system, if guidance is acti-
vated, or 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.
