reservoir).
Engine oil level indicator
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, the state of the engine oil level is

Low oil level
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 in the
instrument panel.

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 starting 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 the ignition is switched on, no
information on range is displayed automatically.
Pressing this button temporarily displays the
driving range.
With 1.6 BlueHDi (Euro 6.1) engine
Remaining range between 1,500 and 500
miles (2,400 and 800 km)
Remaining range less than 375 miles (600 km)
When switching on the ignition, this warning
l amp comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of a message ("Top
up AdBlue: Starting impossible in x miles")
indicating the remaining range expressed in
miles or kilometres.
When driving, this message is displayed every
185
miles (300 km) until the fluid level has been
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
lam p flashes, accompanied by the permanent
lighting of the Ser vice warning lamp, an audible
signal and the display of a message ("Top up
AdBlue: Starting impossible in x miles") indicating
the remaining range expressed in miles or
kilometres.
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.
Breakdown due to a lack of AdBlue®
The AdBlue® tank is empty: the starting
prevention system required by legislation
prevents starting of the engine.
To be able to restart the engine, it is
essential to add at least 5
litres of AdBlue
®
to its tank.
For more information on AdBlue
®
(BlueHDi engines) , and, in particular,
on topping up, refer to the corresponding
section.
When switching on the ignition, this warning lamp
flashes, along with the Service warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and the display of
the message "Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible".
