In the event of a fault with the SCR emissions control system
In the event of the detection
of a faultDuring an authorised driving phase (between
650 miles and 0 miles) (1 100 km and 0 km)
A
system that prevents engine starting is activated automatically from 650 miles (1 100 km) after confirmation of a fault with the SCR emissions
c
ontrol system. Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
d
isappears during the next journey,
a
fter self-diagnosis of the SCR system.
The
UREA, SERVICE and diagnostic warning
l
amps comes on, accompanied by an audible
s
ignal and the display of the message
"
Emissions
f
ault".
The
alert is triggered when driving when the
f
ault is detected for the first time, then when
s
witching on the ignition for subsequent
j
ourneys, while the fault persists. If
a fault with the SCR system is confirmed (after
3
0 miles (50 km) covered with the permanent
d
isplay of the message signalling a fault), the
S
ERVICE and engine diagnostic warning lamps
c
ome on and the UREA warning lamp flashes,
a
ccompanied by an audible signal and the
d
isplay of a message (e.g.: "Emissions fault:
S
tarting prevented in 150 miles") indicating the
r
emaining range express in miles or kilometres.
While
driving, the message is displayed every
3
0 seconds while the fault with the SCR system
p
ersists.
The
alert is repeated when switching on the
ig
nition.
You
should go to a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified workshop as soon as possible.
Other wise, you will not be able to restart your
engine. Starting prevented
To
be able to start the engine, you must call on
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
You
have exceeded the authorised
d
riving limit: the starting prevention
s
ystem inhibits engine starting.
Every time the ignition is switched on, the SERVICE and engine diagnostic warning lamps come on and t
he UREA warning lamp flashes, accompanied by
a
n audible signal and the display of the message
"
Emissions fault: Starting prevented".

If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has
completely thawed out. Before
topping-up, ensure that the vehicle is p
arked on a flat and level sur face.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the
temperature
of the vehicle is above -11°C.
O

Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is essential to maintain an adequate state of
c
harge.
In
some circumstances it may be necessary to
c
harge the battery:
-
i
f you use your vehicle essentially for short
journeys,
-
i
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
s
everal weeks.
Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop. It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
Never
try to charge a frozen battery.
If the battery has been frozen, have
it
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified workshop, who will check that
t
he internal components have not been
d
amaged and the casing is not cracked,
w
hich could cause a leak of toxic and
c
orrosive acid.
If
you envisage charging your vehicle's
b
attery yourself, use only a charger
c
ompatible with lead-acid batteries of a
n
ominal voltage of 12 V.
If this label is present, it is essential
to
use only a 12 V charger, to avoid
c
ausing irreversible damage to the
e
lectrical components related to the
S
top & Start system. Follow the instructions for use provided
by
the manufacturer of the charger.
Never
reverse polarities.
F
S
witch off the ignition.
F
S
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
s
ystem, lighting, wipers, ...).
F
S
witch off the charger B before connecting
t
he cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous
spar
ks.
F
E
nsure that the charger cables are in good
c
ondition.
F
C
onnect the charger B cables as follows:
-
t
he positive (+) red cable to the (+)
terminal
of the battery A,
-
t
he negative (-) black cable to the earth
p
oint C on the vehicle.
F
A
t the end of the charging operation, switch
o
ff the charger B before disconnecting the
c
ables from the battery A.

Quick release terminal
Disconnecting the (+) terminal
F Raise the lever A fully to release the clamp B.
The
Stop & Start system may not be
o
perational during the trip following the
f
irst engine start.
In
this case, the system will only be
a
vailable again after a continuous
p
eriod of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a
period which depends on the ambient
t
emperature and the state of charge of
t
he battery (up to about 8 hours).
It
is
recommended
that
the
battery
be
d
isconnected if the vehicle is not to be used
for
a
very
long
period,
so
as
to
maintain
an
a
dequate
state
of
charge
for
