few seconds, then disappears.
Engine oil level indicator
Oil level correct
Low oil level
(Depending on version) The level read will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30
minutes.
It is indicated by "OIL" flashing, accompanied
by the Ser vice warning lamp lighting up, an
audible signal and a

message.
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.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
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 after switching the ignition on, after
the servicing information.

AdBlue® range indicators
These range indicators are present only on
BlueHDi Diesel versions.
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.
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.
Range between 1,500

miles and 370 miles
(2,400

and 600

km) Go to a
member of the dealer network or
a qualified workshop to have the AdBlue
®
topped up.
You can also top up the tank yourself.
Range below 370

miles (600

km)Oil level indicator fault
It is indicated by " OIL- -" flashing.
Contact the dealer network or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a
fault with the electric indicator,
the oil level is no longer monitored.
If the system is faulty, you must check the
engine oil level using the manual dipstick
located under the bonnet.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
When driving, this message is displayed every
30
seconds until the AdBlue level has been
topped up.
Go to a
member of the dealer network or
a
qualified workshop to have the AdBlue
®
topped up.
You can also top up the tank yourself.
Other wise you will not be able to restart the
vehicle.
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
900


miles") indicating the remaining range
expressed in miles or kilometres.
When driving, the message is displayed every
185

miles (300

km) until the level is topped up. When switching on the ignition, this warning
lamp flashes and the Service warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an audible signal
and the display of a

message (e.g. "Top up
emissions additive: Starting prevented in
350


miles") indicating the remaining range
expressed in miles or kilometres.

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.

Distance recorders
The total and trip distances are displayed for
thirty seconds when the ignition is switched off,
when the driver's door is opened and when the
vehicle is locked or unlocked. When travelling abroad, you may need
to change the unit of distance: the speed
display must be expressed in the official
unit of the country (km or mile). The
change of units is done via the screen
configuration menu, with the vehicle
stationary.
Total distance recorder
It measures the total distance travelled by the
vehicle since its first registration.
Trip distance recorder
It measures the distance travelled since it was
reset by the driver.
