AdBlue® range indicators
(BlueHDi)
The Diesel BlueHDi engines are equipped with
a
system that associates the SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) emissions control system
and the Diesel particle filter (DPF) for the
treatment of exhaust gases. They cannot
function without AdBlue
® fluid.
The engine starting prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is
empty. It is then no longer possible to
start the engine until the minimum level of
AdBlue
® has been topped up.
Manual display of the range
While the range is greater than 1,500 miles
( 2,400 km), it is not displayed automatically.
F

P
ress this button to temporarily display the
driving range.
Actions required related to a lack
of AdBlue®
The following warning lamps light up when the
quantity of AdBlue® is lower than the reser ve
level corresponding to a range of 1,500 miles
(2, 4 0 0


k m).
Together with the warning lamps, messages
regularly remind you of the need to top up to
avoid engine starting being prevented. Refer to
the Warning and indicator lamps section for
details of the messages displayed.

Malfunction of the SCR
emissions control system
Malfunction detection
If a malfunction is detected,
t hese warning lamps come on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and the display of an "Emissions
fault" message.
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. If it is a
temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after self-diagnostic checks of the SCR
emissions control system.
Malfunction confirmed during the
permitted driving phase (between
685
miles and 0 miles (1,100 km and 0 km))
If the warning lamp is still on after 31 miles
( 50 km) of driving, the fault in the SCR system
is confirmed. Have the system checked by a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
Starting prevented
Every time the ignition is switched on, the
message "Emissions fault: Starting prevented"
is displayed.
To be able to restart the engine, call
on a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The AdBlue warning lamp flashes,
accompanied by the display of a
message
("Emissions fault: Starting prevented in x
miles") indicating the remaining range in miles
or kilometres.
While driving, the message is displayed every
30

seconds. The alert is repeated when
switching on the ignition.
You can continue driving for up to 685 miles
(1,100 km) before the engine star ting
prevention system is triggered.

etc.) on the inner sur face of the door
handle may affect detection.
If cleaning the inner sur face of the door
handle using a cloth does not restore
detection, contact a

a


qualified workshop.
A sudden splash of water (stream of water,
high pressure jet washer, etc.) may be
identified by the system as the desire to
open the vehicle.

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 of your vehicle.
It might stop working. It will then be
necessary to reinitialise it again.
The remote control does not operate when
the key is in the ignition switch, even when
the ignition is switched off.
Electrical interference
The Keyless Entry and Starting electronic
key may not operate if close to certain
electronic devices: telephone, laptop
computer, strong magnetic fields, etc. Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
For vehicles with an ignition switch, do
not forget to remove the key and turn the
steering wheel to engage the steering
lock.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make
it more difficult for the emergency ser vices
to enter the vehicle in an emergency.
As a
safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition or
take the electronic key when leaving the
vehicle, even for a
short time.
Purchasing a


second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by
a
