AdBlue® liquid range indicators
Once the AdBlue® tank is on reserve or after
detection of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system, when the ignition is switched
on, an indicator displays an estimate of the
distance that can be covered, the range, before
engine starting is prevented.
In the event of simultaneous system fault and
low AdBlue
® level, the shortest range figure is
the one displayed.
Range greater than 1,500 miles (2,400 km)
When switching on the ignition, there is no
automatic display of range in the instrument
panel.
In the event of the risk of non-starting related to a lack of
AdBlue®
The engine start prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is
e m pt y.
Range between 0 and 1,500 miles (0 and 2,400 km)
When switching on the ignition, the AdBlue
warning light comes on, accompanied by
an audible signal and the temporary display
of "NO START IN" and a distance on the
instrument panel, indicating the remaining
range expressed in miles or kilometres before
engine starting is prevented - (e.g. "NO START
IN 1500 km" means "Starting will be prevented
in 1,500 km (930 miles).
When driving, this message is displayed every
186 miles (300 km) until the AdBlue level has
been topped-up.
