Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied 
by an audible signal and/or a message displayed 
in a screen.
Relating the type of alert to the operating status 
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether 
the situation is normal or whether a fault has 
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp 
for further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on 
for a few seconds when the ignition is switched 
on. These warning lamps should go off as soon 
as the engine is started.
For more information on a system or a function, 
refer to the corresponding section.
Persistent warning lamp
If a red or orange warning lamp comes on, there 
may be fault which needs further investigation.
If a lamp remains lit
The references (1), (2) and (3) in the warning 
and indicator lamp description indicate whether 
you should contact a qualified professional in 
addition to the immediate recommended actions.
(1): You must stop the vehicle.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch off 
the ignition.
(2): Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop. (3): Visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.

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.
