is
prevented.
In
the
event
of

In the event of a fault with the SCR emissions control system
If it is a temporary fault, the alert disappears during the next journey,
a
fter self-diagnosis of the SCR system.
A
system that prevents engine starting is activated automatically from 650 miles (1 100 km) after confirmation of a fault with the SCR emissions
c
ontrol system. Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
In the event of the detection of a fault
du
ring an authorised driving phase (between
650 miles and 0 miles) (1 100 km and 0 km)
The
UREA, SERVICE and diagnostic warning
l
amps
comes on, accompanied by an audible
s
ignal
and the display of the message
"
Emissions
f
ault".
The
alert is triggered when driving when the
f
ault
is detected for the first time, then when
s
witching on the ignition for subsequent
j
ourneys, while the fault persists. If a fault with the SCR system is confirmed (after
3
0 miles (50 km) covered with the permanent
d
isplay of the message signalling a fault), the
S
ERVICE and engine diagnostic warning lamps
c
ome on and the UREA warning lamp flashes,
a
ccompanied by an audible signal and the
d
isplay of a message (e.g.: "Emissions fault:
S
tarting prevented in 150 miles") indicating the
r
emaining range express in miles or kilometres.
While driving, the message is displayed every
3
0 seconds while the fault with the SCR system
p
ersists.
The alert is repeated when switching on the ig
nition.
You
should go to a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified workshop as soon as possible.
Other wise, you will not be able to restart your
engine. You
have exceeded the authorised
d
riving limit: the starting prevention
s
ystem inhibits engine starting.
Every
time the ignition is switched on, the SERVICE a
nd engine diagnostic warning lamps come on and t
he UREA warning lamp flashes, accompanied by
a
n audible signal and the display of the message
"
Emissions fault: Starting prevented".
Starting prevented
To
be able to start the engine, you must call on
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Practical information

Freezing of the AdBlue® additiveKeep AdBlue
® out of the reach of
children,
in
its
original bottle.
Never
transfer AdBlue
® to another
container:
it
would
lose
its purity. Never
dilute the additive with water.
Never pour the additive into the Diesel
f
uel tank.
Never top-up from an AdBlue®
dispenser
reserved
for
heavy
goods
v
ehicles.
Filling
the
AdBlue
® tank is an operation i
ncluded
in
every
routine service on your
v
ehicle
by
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop.
Nevertheless,
given the capacity of the tank,
i
t
may
be
necessary to top-up the additive
b
etween
services,
more particularly if an alert
(
warning
lamps
and a message) signals the
r
equirement.
You
can
got
to
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop.
If
you
envisage
topping-up yourself, please
r
ead
the
following
warnings carefully.
Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Precautions in use
Use only AdBlue® additive that meets the I
SO 22241
standard.
The
supply
in
a
non-drip bottle simplifies
t
opping-up.
You
can obtain 1.89 litre (half a US
g
allon)
bottles
from a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
The
AdBlue® additive is an urea-based s
olution.
This liquid is non-flammable,
c
olourless
and odourless (kept in a cool area).
In
the
event
of contact with the skin, wash
t
he
affected
area with soap and water. In the
e
vent
of
contact with the eyes, wash (irrigate)
t
he
eyes
with large amounts of water or with
a
n
eye
wash
solution for at least 15 minutes.
I
f
a
burning
sensation or irritation persists, get
m
edical
attention.
If
swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
w
ith
clean
water and then drink plenty of water.
In
certain
conditions (high ambient
t
emperature,
for example), the risk of release
o
f
ammonia
cannot be excluded: do not inhale
t
he
product.
Ammonia vapour has an irritant
e
ffect
on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and
t
hroat).
The
AdBlue
® additive freezes at t
emperatures below around -11°C.
The
SCR
system includes a heater
f
or
the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to c
ontinue
driving in very cold conditions.
