Warning and indicator
lamps
Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator
lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating
status of a system (operation or deactivation
indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two
ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
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.
Warning lamp continuously

Engine coolant temperature
gauge



With the engine running:– in zone A, the temperature is correct,– in zone B, the temperature is too high; this
warning lamp and the central STOP warning
lamp come on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching off the
engine.
After first switching off the ignition, open the bonnet cautiously and check the
coolant level.
For more information on Checking
levels, refer to the corresponding
section.
Service indicator
The servicing information is expressed in terms
of distance (kilometres or miles) and time
(months or days).
The alert is given at whichever of these two
terms is reached first.
The servicing information is displayed in the
instrument panel. Depending on the version of
the vehicle:
– The distance recorder display line indicates the distance remaining before the next service
is due, or the distance travelled since it was due
preceded by the "-" sign.
– An alert message indicates the distance remaining, as well as the period before the next
service is due or how long it is overdue.
The value indicated is calculated according to the distance covered and
the time elapsed since the last service.
The alert may also be triggered close to a
due date.
Service spannerOn temporarily when the ignition is switched on.
Between 620 and 1,860 miles (1,000 and 3,000
km) remain before the next service is due.

Engine oil level
indicator
(depending on version)
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, the state of the engine oil level is
displayed in the instrument panel for a few
seconds, after the servicing information.
The level read will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30 minutes.
Oil level correct
This is indicated by the display of the " Oil level
correct " message.
Oil level insufficient
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.
For more information on Checking levels, refer
to the corresponding section.
Oil level indicator fault
This is signalled by the display of the " Oil
level measurement invalid" message on the
instrument cluster.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a fault with the electric
indicator, the oil level is no longer
monitored.
If the system is faulty, you must check the
engine oil level using the manual dipstick
located under the bonnet.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section.
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.
When the level of AdBlue® falls below the
reserve level (between 1,500 and 0 miles (2,400
and 0 km)), a warning lamp lights up when the ignition is switched on and an estimate
of the distance that can be travelled before
engine starting is prevented is displayed in the
instrument panel.
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.
Manually displaying the driving range
While the driving range is greater than 1,500 miles (2,400 km), it is not displayed automatically.

CHECK

► Press this button to temporarily display the driving range.You can view the range information by pressing the " Diagnostic" button after selecting the " Driving functions " tab in the
Driving / Vehicle menu.
Actions required related to a lack of AdBlue®

Malfunction of the
SCR emissions
control system
Malfunction detection


If a malfunction is detected,
these warning lamps come on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and an "Emissions fault”
message.
The alert is triggered while driving, when the
fault is detected for the first time, and thereafter
when switching on the ignition for subsequent
journeys, while the cause of the fault persists.
If the fault is temporary, 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 fault indication is still displayed permanently after 31 miles (50 km) of driving, the fault in the SCR system is confirmed.
The AdBlue warning lamp flashes, and an
"Emissions fault: Starting prevented in X
miles" or "NO START IN X miles" message is
displayed, indicating the driving 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 immobiliser
system is triggered.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
as soon as possible.
Starting prevented
Whenever the ignition is switched on, the
"Emissions fault: Starting prevented" or "NO
START IN" message is displayed.
