AdBlue® fluid range indicators
Once the AdBlue® tank is on reserve or after
detection of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system, when the ignition is switched
on an indicator displays an estimate of the
distance that can be covered, the range, before
engine starting is prevented.
In the event of simultaneous system fault and
low AdBlue
® level, the shortest range figure is
the one displayed. Range greater than 1 500 miles (2 400 km)
When the ignition is switched on, no
information on range is displayed automatically
in the instrument panel.
With the 12 inch colour instrument panel,
pressing this button temporarily displays the
driving range.
In the event of the risk of non-starting related to a lack of AdBlue®
The engine start prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is
e m pt y.
Remaining range between 350 and 1500 miles
(600 and 2 400 km)
When switching on the ignition, the AdBlue
warning lamp comes on for a few seconds,
accompanied by an audible signal and the
display of a message (e.g. "Top-up AdBlue:
Starting impossible in 900 miles") indicating
the remaining range expressed in miles or
kilometres.
When driving, the message is displayed every
200 miles (300 km) until the fluid level has been
topped-up.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the AdBlue
® fluid topped-up.
You can also top-up the fluid yourself.
For more information on AdBlue
® and the SCR
system, and in particular on topping-up, refer

You can also top-up the fluid yourself.
Other wise you will not be able to restart your
engine. Breakdown related to a lack of AdBlue
®
When switching on the ignition, the SERVICE
warning lamp comes on and the AdBlue
warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of a message
(e.g. "Top-up AdBlue: Starting impossible").
The AdBlue
® tank is empty: the system required
by regulations prevents engine starting.
To be able to start the engine,
we recommend that you call on
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for the top-up required.
If you carry out the top-up yourself, it
is essential to add at least 3.8 litres of
AdBlue
® to the tank.
For more information on AdBlue® and the SCR
system, and in particular on topping-up, refer
to the corresponding section.

In the event of a fault with the SCR emissions control system
In the event of the detection of a fault
The AdBlue, SERVICE and diagnostic
warning lamps come on, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of the message
"Emissions fault".
The alert is triggered when driving when the
fault is detected for the first time, then when
switching on the ignition for subsequent
journeys, while the fault persists.During an authorised driving phase (between
650 miles and 0 miles) (1 100 km and 0 km)
If a fault with the SCR system is confirmed
(after 30 miles (50 km) covered with the
permanent display of the message signalling
a fault), the SERVICE and engine diagnostic
warning lamps come on and the AdBlue
warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of a message
(e.g. "Emissions fault: Starting prevented in
150 miles") indicating the remaining range
expressed in miles or kilometres.
While driving, the message is displayed every
30 seconds while the fault with the SCR system
persists.
The alert is repeated when switching on the ignition.You should go to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Other wise, you will not be able to restart your
engine.
A system that prevents engine starting is activated automatically from 650 miles (1 100 km) after confirmation of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system. Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after self-diagnosis of the SCR system.
Starting prevented
Every time the ignition is switched on, the
SERVICE and engine diagnostic warning
lamps come on and the AdBlue warning lamp
flashes, accompanied by an audible signal and
the display of the message "Emissions fault:
Starting prevented".
You have exceeded the authorised
driving limit: the starting prevention
system inhibits engine starting.
To be able to start the engine, you must
call on a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
