Range
(miles or km)
The distance which can still be travelled with
the fuel remaining in the tank (related to the
average fuel consumption over the last few
miles (kilometres) travelled).
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.
When the fuel level is low, the message "Lo
FUEL" is displayed.
If only a small amount of fuel is added, the
range may not be recalculated.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated over the last few seconds.
Stop & Start time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours / minutes)
I f your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time
counter calculates the time spent in STOP

Gear change commands are only acted on if
the engine speed allows. There is an audible
signal if a command is not accepted.
The gear engaged is displayed in the

This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations such as overtaking a vehicle or
approaching a corner.
After a few moments with no action on the

Stop & Start (VTi 68 S&S engine)
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-
w
hen stationary, in neutral, and you
release the clutch pedal.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the button. For smoother operation, during
parking manoeuvres STOP mode is
not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
vehicle's systems, such as for example,
braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked principally when:
- t he driver's door is open,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-
t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-
d
emisting is active,
-
s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
vehicle stopped on a steep gradient, high
altitude...) where the engine is needed to
assure control of a system.
The Stop & Start
system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The
engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Stop & Start time counters
A partial time counter counts the periods in
STOP mode during a journey.
It is displayed in the trip computer once the
Stop & Start acts.
Press one of the screen management buttons
to return to the previous display.
A global time counter counts the periods in
STOP mode since the last reset.
When it is displayed, press one of the screen
