Distance that can still be travelled with the
fuel remaining in the tank (based on the
average fuel consumption over the last few miles
(kilometres) travelled).
This value may vary following a change in driving
style or terrain, leading to a significant change in
current fuel consumption.
When the range falls below 19 miles (30
km),
dashes are displayed.
After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range
is recalculated and is displayed if it exceeds 62
miles (100
km).
Dashes appearing permanently in place of
numbers while driving indicates a malfunction.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
