Some definitions

Range
(km or miles)

Estimated distance the vehicle can travel on the fuel remaining in the tank (based on the average consumption over the most recently driven kilometres).

The value changes when your driving style or the terrain changes, causing a significant deviation from the instantaneous consumption.

When the range drops below 30 km, dashes are displayed. After adding at least 5 litres of fuel to the tank, this value is recalculated and displayed if it exceeds 100 km.

If the dashes stay lit while driving, contact a CITROËN dealer or a specialist workshop.

Instantaneous fuel consumption
(l/100 km or km/l or mpg)

Calculated over the last few seconds.

This function is displayed when the speed exceeds 30 km/h.

Average fuel consumption
(l/100 km or km/l or mpg)

Calculated since the last reset of the driving data.

Average speed
(km/h or mph)

Calculated since the last reset of the driving data.

Distance travelled
(km or miles)

Calculated since the last reset of the trip data.

Distance remaining
(km or miles)

This is the distance remaining to the destination. It can be entered by the user.

If the distance is not entered, dashes are displayed instead of digits.

Stop & Start system timer
(minutes / seconds or hours / minutes)

If your vehicle is equipped with the Stop & Start system, the timer counts and totals the time spent in STOP mode while driving.

The timer resets each time the ignition is switched on with the key.
