Checking the level
After driving for a few minutes, the temperature
and pressure in the cooling system increase.
To top up the level:
F
w
ait at least one hour for the engine to cool,
F
u
nscrew the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop,
F
w
hen the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap,
F
t
op up the level to the "MA X" mark.
Checking levels
Be aware of the risk of burns when topping
up the cooling system. Do not fill above
the maximum level (indicated on the
expansion tank).
Engine oil level indicator
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, the state of the engine oil level is
displayed in the instrument panel for a few
seconds upon turning the ignition on, at the
same time as the ser vicing information. The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and the
engine has been stopped for more than
30
minutes.

Dipstick
To locate the dipstick and the oil filler
cap for the Diesel engine
, refer to the
corresponding section.
There are 2
marks on the dipstick:
-
A
= max; never exceed this
level,
-
B
= min; top up the level via
the oil filler, using the grade of
oil suited to your engine.
This is indicated by a message in the
instrument panel.
This is indicated by a message in the
instrument panel.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
avoid damage to the engine. This is indicated by a message on the
instrument panel. Contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.

AdBlue® fluid range
indicators
Once the AdBlue® tank is on reser ve 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.
If a system fault and low AdBlue
® level occur
at the same time, the lowest range is the one
displayed.
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.
Range greater than 1,500
miles (2,400 km)
When switching on the ignition, there is no
automatic display of range in the instrument
panel. Pressing this button will temporarily display the
remaining range.
With touch screen
You can access the information via
the Driving/Vehicle menu.
Remaining range between 1,500 and
375 miles (2,400 and 600 km)
When driving, the message comes up every
190 miles (300 km) until the tank is topped up.
The reser ve level has been reached; it is
recommended that you top up as soon as
possible. When switching on the ignition, this warning
lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of a message (e.g. "Top
up emissions additive: Starting prevented in
930
miles (1,500 km)") indicating the remaining
range expressed in miles or kilometres. Range less than 375 miles (600 km)
When driving, this message is displayed every
30
seconds until the AdBlue level has been
topped up.
It is essential to top up as soon as possible and
before the tank is completely empty; other wise
it will not be possible to restart the engine after
the next stop.
For more information on the AdBlue
®
(BlueHDi engines) , and in particular on
topping up, refer to the corresponding
section.
When switching on the ignition, this warning
lamp flashes, accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of a message (e.g."Top

The AdBlue® tank is empty: the starting
inhibition system required by legislation
prevents starting of the engine.
To be able to restart the engine, it is
essential to add at least 4
litres of AdBlue

to its tank.
In the event of a fault with the
SCR emissions control system
An engine immobiliser is activated
automatically after you have driven a
further 685
miles (1,100 km) following
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.
In the event of the detection of a fault If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after self-diagnostic checks of the SCR
emissions control system.
These warning lamps come on, accompanied
by an audible signal and the display of the
message "Emissions fault". The alert is triggered while driving as soon
as the fault is detected for the first time, then
when switching on the ignition for subsequent
journeys, while the fault persists.
During the permitted driving phase
(between 685
and 0 miles (1,100 km
and 0 km))While driving, the message is displayed every
30
seconds while the fault with the SCR
emissions control 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 the
vehicle.
If a fault with the system SCR is confirmed
(after around 30 miles (50 km) covered with the
permanent display of the message signalling
a fault), these 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
190
miles (300 km)") indicating the remaining
range expressed in miles or kilometres. Starting prevented
You have exceeded the authorised driving
limit: the starting prevention system does
not allow the engine to be started. To
be able to restart the engine, you must
call on a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Each time the ignition is switched on, these
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".
