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

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.

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®
The following warning lamps light up when the
quantity of AdBlue® is lower than the reserve
