DRIVING
GEAR EFFICIENCY INDICATOR *
System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change up on
vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox.
Operation
The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle’s equipment, the system may
advise you to skip one or more gears. You
can follow this instruction without engag-
ing the intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must not be considered compulso-
ry. In fact, the confi guration of the road,
the amount of traffi c and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the
best gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Example:
- You are in third gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you
engage a higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the instrument panel screen in the form of an
arrow accompanied by the suggested
gear.
In the case of driving which makes
particular demands on the perform-
ance of the engine (fi rm pressure on
the accelerator pedal, for example,
when overtaking...), the system will
not recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- engaging fi rst gear,
- engaging reverse gear,
- engaging a lower gear.

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
Service indicator
System which informs the driver when
the next service is due, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last indicator zero
reset. It is determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last
service.
More than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbolising
the service operations comes on. The
distance recorder display line indicates
the distance remaining before the next
service is due.
Example: 4 800 km remain before the
next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner is switched off ; the
distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The display then indicates
the total and trip distances.
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Example: 400 miles (900 km) remain
before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched

Service indicator zero reset
After each service, the service indicator
must be reset to zero.
The procedure for resetting to zero is as
follows:
switch off the ignition,
press and hold the trip distance
recorder zero reset button,
switch on the ignition; the distance
recorder display begins a countdown,
when the display indicates "=0" ,
release the button; the spanner
disappears.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depending on the driver's driving habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded the
two year service interval.
Service overdue
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner fl ashes to
indicate that the service must be carried
out as soon as possible.
Example: the service is overdue by
300 km.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its
normal operation. The spanner re-

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
Engine oil level indicator
System which informs the driver whether
the engine oil level is correct or not.
This information is indicated for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched
on, after the service information.
The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more
than 15 minutes.
Oil level correct
Lack of oil
This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL" , linked with the service warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the multifunction
screen.
If the lack of oil is confi rmed by a check
using the dipstick, it is essential that the
level is topped up to prevent damage to
the engine.
Oil level indicator fault
This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL--" . Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Dipstick
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate
the dipstick and the oil fi ller cap on your
engine.
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:
- A = max; never exceed
this level (risk of damage
to the engine),
- B = min; top up the level
via the oil fi ller cap, using
the grade of oil suited to
your engine.
INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
Total distance recorder
System which measures the total
distance travelled by the vehicle during
its life.

A few definitions…
When the range falls below 20 miles
(30 km), dashes are displayed. After fi ll-
ing with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range
is recalculated and is displayed when it
exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
If dashes are displayed continuously while driving in place of the
digits, contact a CITROËN dealer.
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 signifi cant
change in the current fuel consumption.
Range
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled
with the fuel remaining in the tank in
relation to the average fuel consumption over the last few miles (kilometres)
travelled.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel
consumption during the last
few seconds.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel con-
sumption since the last trip
computer zero reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip
computer zero reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed
calculated since the last trip
computer zero reset (ignition on).
Distance remaining to destination
(km or miles)
This is the distance remaining
to be travelled to the fi nal des-
tination. It is either calculated instantly
by the navigation system, if guidance is
activated, or entered by the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes
are displayed in place of the digits.

COMFORT
VENTILATION
System which creates and maintains
comfortable conditions in the vehicle's
passenger compartment.
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger com-
partment is fi ltered and originates either
from the outside via the grille located at
the base of the windscreen or from the
inside in air recirculation mode.
Air flow paths
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by
the driver:
- direct arrival in the passenger compartment (air intake),
- passage through a heating circuit
(heating),
- passage through a cooling circuit
(air conditioning).
The temperature control enables you to
obtain the level of comfort required by
mixing the air of the various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you
to diffuse the air in the passenger compartment combining several air vents.
The air fl ow control enables you to
increase or reduce the speed of the
ventilation blower.
Control panel
The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel A on the cen-
tre console. Depending on the model,
the functions offered are:
- the level of comfort required,
- air fl ow,
- air distribution,
- demisting and defrosting,
- manual or automatic air conditioning
controls.
Air distribution
1. Windscreen demisting or defrosting
vents.
2. Front side window demisting or de-
frosting vents.
3. Side adjustable air vents.
4. Central adjustable air vents.
5. Air outlets to the front footwells.
6. Air outlets to the rear footwells.

COMFORT
The air conditioning system does
not contain chlorine and does not
present any danger to the ozone
layer.
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the guidelines on operation
and maintenance below:
If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a considerable time, fi rst ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
Place the air fl ow control at a suffi cient level to provide an adequate renewal
of air in the passenger compartment.
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air
intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents
and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the passenger
compartment on both sides of the rear shelf.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard (behind the
instrument panel); this is used for regulation of the air conditioning system.
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month to keep it in good working order.
Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition and
have the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter.
Thanks to its second special active fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation
of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits).
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly.
If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a
CITROËN dealer.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and so improves towing
capacity.
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.
