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 switching on the ignition, there is no
automatic display of range in the instrument
panel.
With the 12" colour instrument panel, pressing

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 ("Top

In the event of a fault with the
S CR emissions 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 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-diagnosis of the SCR system. During the permitted driving phase
(between 685
and 0 miles (1,100 and 0 km))
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 the vehicle.
Starting prevented You have exceeded the authorised driving
limit: the starting prevention system does
not allow the engine to be started.
These 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. If a
fault with the SCR system is confirmed
(after 31 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
185 miles") indicating the remaining range in
miles or kilometres.
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". To be able to start the engine, you must call on
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
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
units of the country (km or miles). The
change of units is done via the screen
configuration menu, with the vehicle
stationary.

Advice
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is
a
sensitive system; do not operate it while
it is in your pocket as there is a
possibility
that it may unlock the vehicle, without you
being aware of it.
Do not press the buttons of your remote
control out of range and out of sight of
your vehicle. The remote control may stop
working and would have to be reinitialised.
The remote control cannot operate when
the key is in the reader, even when the
ignition is switched on.
Electrical interference
The

K
eyless Entry and Starting electronic
key may not operate if close to certain
electronic devices: telephone, laptop
computer, strong magnetic fields, etc.

Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
Do not forget to turn the steering wheel to
engage the steering lock.

Mode AUTO
F Press button 5 to activate/deactivate the air
conditioning system.
When the indicator lamp is on, the air
conditioning function is activated.
The air conditioning does not operate when
the air flow adjustment is inhibited.
To obtain cool air more quickly, you can
use recirculation of the interior air for a
few
moments. Then return to the intake of
exterior air.
Switching off the air conditioning may result
in some discomfort (humidity, condensation).
Automatic comfort
programme
F Press the " AUTO" button 6 to activate or
deactivate the automatic mode of the air
conditioning system.
The air conditioning system operates
automatically: the system manages the
temperature, air flow and air distribution in the
passenger compartment in an optimum way
according to the comfort level you have selected.
F Go to the secondary page by pressing button 8 " OPTIONS " to adjust the automatic
comfort programme by choosing one of the
available settings. F

T
o change the current setting,
press the button several times
in succession to access the
desired mode:
" Soft ": provides soft and quiet operation by
limiting air flow.
" Normal ": offers the best compromise between
a

comfortable temperature and quiet operation
(default setting).
" Fast ": provides strong and effective air flow.
This setting is associated with AUTO mode
only. However, on deactivation of AUTO mode,
the last selected setting remains.
Changing the setting does not reactivate AUTO
mode if deactivated.
In cold weather with the engine cold, the
air flow is increased gradually until the
comfort setting has been reached, in order
to limit the delivery of cold air into the
passenger compartment.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort setting requested, there
is no need to alter the value displayed in
order to reach more quickly the required
level of comfort. The system automatically
corrects the temperature difference as
quickly as possible. You can always choose to change a
setting
manually. In this case, the automatic comfort
programme is deactivated.
