If Equipped
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The “Oil Change
Due” message will display in the instrument
cluster display for five seconds after a single
chime has sounded, to indicate the next
scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil
change indicator system is duty cycle based,
which means the engine oil change interval
may fluctuate, dependent upon your personal
driving style.
Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) — If Equipped
The Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) system is en-
abled on vehicles with a manual transmis-
sion, or when a vehicle with an automatic
transmission is in manual shift mode. The
GSI provides the driver with a visual indica-
tion when the recommended gear shift point
has been reached. This indication notifies
the driver that changing gear will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption. When the up
shift indicator is shown on the instrument
cluster display, the GSI is advising the driver
to engage a higher gear. When the down shift
indicator is shown on the display, the GSI is
advising the driver to engage a lower gear.
The GSI indicator remains illuminated until
the driver changes gear, or the driving condi-
tions return to a situation where changing
gear is not required to improve fuel consump-
tion.

MESSAGE DESCRIPTION
Diesel Emissions Additive AdBlue (UREA) Warning Messages:
Low Diesel Emissions Additive
AdBlue (UREA) Level WarningThe first low level warning will be given at around a 1490 miles (2400 km) range, and is determined
according to the current consumption rate. The “UREA Low Level” warning light and message will display on
the instrument panel. The UREA low level warning light will remains lit until the AdBlue (UREA) tank is
topped up with at least 1.32 gallons (5 Liters) of UREA.
If the level is not resolved, an additional warning appear whenever a certain threshold is reached until it will
no longer be possible to start the engine.
When 125 miles (200 km) are remaining before the AdBlue (UREA) tank is empty, a message will appear
on the instrument panel, accompanied by a buzzer sound. When the range is at 0, the display will show a
dedicated message (if equipped). In this case, the engine will not restart.
It will be possible to restart the engine again as soon as AdBlue (UREA) is added; the minimum amount
required is 1.32 gallons (5 Liters). Fill the AdBlue (UREA) tank as soon as possible with at least
1.32 gallons (5 Liters) of UREA. If filling is completed with autonomy tank AdBlue (UREA) to zero,
it could be possible to wait 2 minutes before starting the vehicle.
NOTE:
When the AdBlue (UREA) tank is empty, and the vehicle is stopped, it is no longer possible to restart the
vehicle until a minimum of 1.32 gallons (5 Liters) of AdBlue (UREA) is added to the AdBlue (UREA) tank.

A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as
referenced above, can reach higher tem-
peratures than in normal operating condi-
tions. This can cause a fire if you drive
slowly or park over flammable substances
such as dry plants, wood, cardboard, etc.

WARNING!
This could result in death or serious injury
to the driver, occupants or others.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction
