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.

COMFORT
When the engine is cold, to pre-
vent too great a distribution of
cold air, the air fl ow will reach its
optimum level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the
distribution of warm air to the
windscreen, side windows and
footwells only. On entering the vehicle, if the in-
terior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort value,
there is no need to change the
value displayed in order to obtain
the comfort required. The system
corrects the difference in tempera-
ture automatically and as quickly
as possible.
The air conditioning only operates when
the engine is running. The driver and front passenger
can each adjust the tempera-
ture to their requirements.


)
Turn control 2
or 3
to the left or to
the right respectively to decrease or
increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depending
on your requirements, a setting between
18 and 24 is normal.
You are advised to avoid a left/right set-
ting difference of more than 3.
4. Automatic visibility programme
The automatic comfort pro-
gramme may not be suffi cient
to quickly demist or defrost the
windscreen and side windows
(humidity, several passengers,
ice, etc.).


)
In this case, select the automatic
visibility programme.
The system automatically controls the
air conditioning, the air fl ow and the air
intake and provides optimum distribu-
tion of the ventilation to the windscreen
and side windows.

SEAT BELTS


Front seat belts


The front seat belts are fi tted with a pre-
tensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side im-
pact. Depending on the severity of the
impact, the pretensioning system in-
stantly tightens the seat belts against
the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt on the chest of the occu-
pant, so improving their protection.
