A few definitions…
Range
(miles or km)
The distance which can still be 
travelled with the fuel remaining 
in the tank (at the average fuel 
consumption seen over the last 
few miles (kilometres) travelled).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated over the last few seconds.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated since the last trip 
computer reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Calculated since the last trip 
computer reset.
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).
Stop & Start time 
counter
(minutes / seconds or hours / 
minutes)
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 CITR oËn dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
Calculated since the last trip 
computer reset.
The fuel consumption of your vehicle 
will be higher than the official figures 
obtained by CITROËN during the first 
1 800 miles (3 000 km) of the vehicle's 
life.

Under normal operating conditions, the bars 
should be within section 1.
In severe operating conditions, the bars may 
extend into section 2 .
In this event, slow down, and if necessary, 
stop the engine and check the levels (see the 
corresponding section).
Coolant temperature gauge
Under normal operating conditions, the bars 
should be within section 1 .
In severe operating conditions, the bars may 
extend into section 2 , the engine coolant 
temperature warning lamp A and the STOP  
warning lamp come on in the instrument panel. 
Stop  as soon as it is safe to do so . Switch off 
the ignition. The cooling fan may continue to

More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km) 
remain before the next service is 
due
When the ignition is switched on, no service 
information appears in the instrument panel 
screen.
Between 600 miles (1 000 km) 
and 1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain 
before the next service is due
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched 
on, the spanner symbolising the service 
operations comes on and a message is displayed 
in the instrument panel indicating the distance or 
time remaining before the next service is due.
Example: 1 900 miles (2 800 km) remain 
before the next service is due.
When the ignition is switched on, the instrument 
panel screen temporarily indicates:
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km) 
remain before the next service is 
due
Example:  500 miles (900 km) remain before 
the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched 
on, the instrument panel screen indicates:
After the message disappears, the spanner 
remains on  alongside the mileage recorder as 
a reminder that a service must be carried out 
soon.
Service indicator
System which informs the driver when the 
next service is due, in accordance with the 
manufacturer's service schedule.
The point at which the service is due is 
calculated from the last service indicator reset 
to zero, according to the mileage covered and 
the time elapsed since the last service.
A few seconds after the ignition is switched on, 
the spanner goes off.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, depending 
on the country of sale, the degree of 
deterioration of the engine oil may also 
be taken into account.

Service indicator zero resetService overdue
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched 
on, the spanner flashes to indicate that 
the service must be carried out as soon as 
possible.
Example:  the service is overdue by 180 miles 
(300 km).
When the ignition is switched on, the 
instrument panel screen indicates:
The spanner remains on  alongside the 
mileage recorder to indicate that a service is 
overdue. For b
lueHdi d iesel versions, the 
spanner may also come on early, 
according to the level of deterioration 
of the engine oil, which depends on the 
driving conditions in which the vehicle 
is used. After each service, the service indicator must 
be reset to zero.
The procedure for resetting to zero is as 
follows:
F 
switch off the ignition,
F  press and hold the trip distance recorder 
zero reset button,
F  switch on the ignition; the distance recorder 
display begins a countdown,
F  when the display indicates "=0" , release 
the button; the spanner disappears.
Following this operation, if you wish to 
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle and 
wait at least five minutes for the zero reset to 
be taken into account.
With b
lueHdi d iesel versions, the 
Service  warning lamp also comes on 
when the ignition is switched on. The spanner may come on if you have 
exceeded the period since the last service, 
as indicated in the manufacturer's service 
schedule.
