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 range falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed.

range is recalculated and is displayed if it
exceeds 60 miles (100 km).

This function is only displayed from
20 mph (30 km/h).

Current fuel

(miles or km)

Stop & Start time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours /
minutes)

A time counter calculates the time spent in
STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.

Average fuel consumption

(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)

Calculated since the last trip computer reset.

If dashes are displayed continuously
while driving in place of the digits,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

the fuel remaining in the tank (at the average
fuel consumption seen over the last few miles

As a safety measure (children on
board), never leave the vehicle without
taking the electronic key for the Keyless
Entry and Starting system with you,
even for a short period.
Be aware of the risk of theft when the
electronic key for the Keyless Entry and
Starting system is in one of the defined
zones with the vehicle unlocked.

If one of the doors or the boot is still
open or if the electronic key for the
Keyless Entry and Starting system has
been left inside the vehicle, the central
locking does not take place.

activated after about 45 seconds.

If the vehicle is unlocked by mistake
and with no action on the doors or boot,
the vehicle will lock again automatically
after about 30 seconds.
If fitted to your vehicle, the alarm will
also be reactivated automatically.

the "hands-free" functions are put into
long-term standby after 21 days without
use. To restore these functions, press
one of the remote control buttons or
