For more information on the AdBlue®
(BlueHDi engines) , and in particular on
topping up, refer to the corresponding
section.
Breakdown due to a

lack of AdBlue
®
The AdBlue® tank is empty: the starting
inhibition system required by legislation
prevents starting of the engine.
To be able to start the engine, we
recommend that you call on a
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.
In the event of a fault with the SCR
e missions control system
A system that prevents engine starting is
activated automatically from 685
miles
(1,100
km) after confirmation of a fault with
the SCR emissions control system.
Have the system checked by the dealer
network or a
qualified workshop as soon
as possible.
In the event of the detection of a
faultIf it is a
temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after self-diagnostic checks of the SCR
emissions control system.
When switching on the ignition, this warning
lamp flashes and the Service warning lamp
comes on, together with an audible signal and
the display of the message "Top up emissions
additive: Starting prevented". 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))
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), these warning lamps come on and the
UREA warning lamp flashes, associated with
an audible signal and the display of a
message
(e.g. "Emissions fault: Starting prevented in
190


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 emission
control system persists.
The alert is repeated when switching on the ignition.
You should go to a
network dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Other wise you will not be able to restart the vehicle.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully
effective, follow the operation and
maintenance guidelines below:
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed
evenly, keep the external air intake
grilles at the base of the windscreen, the
nozzles, the vents, the air outlets and
the air extractor in the boot free from
obstructions.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the dashboard; this is used
for regulation of the automatic air
conditioning system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for
at least 5
to 10 minutes once or twice
a
month to keep it in per fect working
o r d e r.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and replace
the filter elements periodically. We
recommend the use of a
combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to
its special active additive, it helps both to
purify the air breathed by the occupants
and to keep the passenger compartment
clean (reduction of allergic symptoms,
bad odours and greasy deposits). If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for
a
few moments.
Put the air flow control at a
setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a
discharge of water
under the vehicle which is per fectly normal.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a
comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you may
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section.
F
T o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly as
recommended in the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold
air, switch it off and contact the dealer
network or a
qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a
steep
gradient in high temperatures, switching off
the air conditioning increases the available
engine power and so improves the towing
ability.
To avoid the windows misting up and
deterioration in the quality of the air:
-

d
o not drive for too long with the
ventilation switched off.
-

d
o not keep air recirculation set for an
extended period.
