Range
(miles or km)
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Average fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Distance travelled
(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).
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). Calculated over the last few seconds.
Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
Calculated since the last trip computer reset. Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
Stop & Start time
counter
(minutes / seconds or hours /
m inutes)
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 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 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.

We recommend use of the automatic regulation
of the air conditioning.
It permits automatic and optimised control
of all of the following functions: air flow,
temperature in the passenger compartment
and air distribution, by means of various
sensors (ambient temperature, sunshine).
This eliminates any need for you to change
your settings other than the temperature value
displayed.
F Take care not to cover the sunshine sensor A .
If you select the automatic mode
(by pressing the "AUTO" control) and leave
all of the vents open, optimum comfort will be
maintained and humidity and condensation will
be removed regardless of the exterior climatic
conditions.
The temperature in the passenger compartment
can only be lower than the ambient temperature
if the air conditioning is on.
In order to be effective, the air conditioning must
be used with the windows closed. If the vehicle
has been parked in the sun for a long period
and the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment with the
windows open for a few minutes, then close the
windows.
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning recommendations
To keep the air conditioning system in
good working order it is essential that it is
operated at least once a month.
The air conditioning uses engine power
during its operation. As a result, the fuel
consumption of the vehicle increases.
In certain cases of particularly arduous use
(e.g. towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures), switching off
the air conditioning saves engine power and
improves the towing capacity.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the air inlet,
at the bottom of the windscreen, is clean and
free of dead leaves, snow, etc.
When washing the vehicle using a high
pressure nozzle, avoid spraying at the air
inlet. Maximum comfort is obtained by means of
a good distribution of air in the passenger
compartment, both in the front and in the rear.
To obtain a uniform distribution of air, take
care not to block the exterior air intake grille
located at the base of the windscreen, the
vents, the air outlets under the front seats and
the air extractor located behind the flaps in
the boot.
The front and rear vents are fitted with
thumbwheels to adjust the air flow and
direction. We recommend that you leave all of
the vents open.
Dust filter / Odour filter
(active carbon)
There is a filter for excluding odours and
dust.
This filter must be changed in line with the
vehicle's servicing schedule. (Refer to the
maintenance and warranty guide).

F Press control 7, with the
engine running, to demist
the rear screen and the door
mirrors. The indicator lamp
comes on.
7. Rear demisting - defrosting
This function enables you to isolate the passenger
compartment from exterior fumes and odours.
However, demisting resumes when the engine
is switched on again.
Switch off the rear screen and door mirrors
demisting when you consider this necessary
as low current consumption reduces fuel
consumption. F

P
ress control 8 to set the air
intake mode, the indicator
lamp comes on.
Demisting is switched off automatically to
prevent an excessive consumption of current
and in relation to the ambient temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing control 7 again
or when the engine is switched off. It must be cancelled as soon as possible to
permit renewal of the air in the passenger
compartment and demisting.
The heated rear screen operates independently
of the air conditioning system.
With Stop & Start, when demisting has
been activated, the STOP mode is not
available. You can store the air conditioning
settings. Refer to the "Storing driving
positions" section.When starting with the engine cold,
the flow will reach its optimum level
gradually to prevent an excessive
distribution of cold air.
When entering the vehicle after it has
been parked for a fairly long period, if
the interior temperature is very different
from your comfort setting there is
no need to change the temperature
displayed in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The system
automatically uses its maximum
per formance to correct the difference in
temperature as quickly as possible.
The water resulting from the air
conditioning condensation is
discharged via an opening provided
for this purpose; therefore, a puddle of
water may form underneath the vehicle
when stationary.
In all seasons, if the weather is cool,
the air conditioning is useful as it
removes the humidity from the air
and the condensation. Avoid driving
for prolonged periods with the air
conditioning switched off.

demist or defrost the windows
(humidity, several passengers,
i c e).
8. Rear demisting - defrosting
Switch off the rear screen and exterior mirrors
demisting when you consider this necessary
as low current consumption reduces fuel
consumption. The heated rear screen operates

It may be stopped by pressing control 8 again
or when the engine is switched off.
In this latter case, the demisting resumes if the
engine is switched on again within one minute. F
P
ress control 9 to clear the windows
quickly. The indicator lamp comes on.
This system controls the temperature, air flow
and intake and distributes the ventilation to the
windscreen and front side windows.
Resuming manual control exits from the
"Demisting" mode. It must be cancelled as
soon as possible to permit renewal of the air in
the passenger compartment and demisting.
Pressing one of the controls 1a and 1b returns
the system to the "AUTO" mode.
With Stop & Start, when demisting has

Reinitialising the remote control
If the vehicle's battery is disconnected or the
remote control's battery is replaced, the remote
control must be reinitialised.
After switching on the power, press button 4
(OFF) for 1 second within the next 5 seconds.
If the operation has taken place correctly the
message "OK" is displayed on the remote
control screen.
If a problem occurs, the message " F A I L"
appears. Repeat the operation. Always switch off the programmable
heating while filling with fuel to avoid
any risk of fire or explosion.
To avoid any risk of poisoning and
asphyxiation, the programmable
heating must not be used, even for
short periods, in an enclosed space
such as a garage or workshop which
is not equipped with an exhaust gas
extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an
inflammable sur face (dry grass, dead
leaves, paper…), there is a risk of fire.
The programmable heating system
is supplied by the vehicle's fuel tank.
Before use, ensure that the quantity
of fuel remaining is sufficient. If the
fuel tank is at the reserve, we strongly
advise that you do not programme the
heating.
The interior volumetric protection alarm
movement sensor may be disturbed by
the flow of air from the programmable
heating when it is in operation.
To avoid any unexpected triggering
of the alarm during use of the
programmable heating, it is advisable
to deactivate the interior volumetric
protection.
An adaptation of your programmable
heating allows you to pre-heat your
vehicle's passenger compartment.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
