This is signalled by the display of the message "Oil
level measurement invalid" in the instrument panel.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a fault with the electric
i ndicator, the engine 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
These range indicators are present only on
BlueHDi Diesel versions.
Once the AdBlue
® tank is on reser ve 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 the risk of non-
starting related to a lack of
AdBlue
®
The engine starting prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is
e m pt y.
Range greater than 1,500

miles (2,400 km)
When switching on the ignition, there is no
automatic display of range in the instrument

The reser ve level has been reached; it is
recommended that you top up as soon as
possible.
When switching on the ignition, this warning
lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of a message ("Top
up AdBlue: Starting impossible in x miles")
indicating the remaining range expressed in
miles or kilometres.
Remaining range less than 375 miles (600 km)
When switching on the ignition, this warning
lamp flashes, accompanied by the permanent
lighting of the Ser vice warning lamp, an audible
signal and the display of a
message ("Top

indicating the remaining range in miles or
kilometres.
When driving, this message is displayed every
30

In the event of a fault with the
S CR emissions control system
A system that prevents engine starting is
activated automatically from 685
miles
(1,100
km) after confirmation of a fault with
the SCR emissions control system.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
In the event of the detection of a
fault
If it is a
temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey, after
self-diagnosis of the SCR system. During the permitted driving phase
(between 685
and 0 miles (1,100 and 0 km))
While driving, the message is displayed every
30
seconds while the fault with the SCR system
persists.
The alert is repeated when switching on the
ignition.
You should go to a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Other wise you will not be able to restart the vehicle.
Starting prevented You have exceeded the authorised driving
limit: the starting prevention system does
not allow the engine to be started.
These warning lamps come on, accompanied
by an audible signal and the display of the
message "Emissions fault".
The alert is triggered when driving when the
fault is detected for the first time, then when
switching on the ignition for subsequent
journeys, while the fault persists. If a
fault with the SCR system is confirmed
(after 31 miles (50 km) covered with the
permanent display of the message signalling
a fault), these warning lamps come on and the
AdBlue warning lamp flashes, accompanied by
an audible signal and the display of a message
(e.g. "Emissions fault: Starting prevented in
185 miles") indicating the remaining range in
miles or kilometres.
Each time the ignition is switched on, these
warning lamps come on and the AdBlue
warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of the message
"Emissions fault: Starting prevented". To be able to start the engine, you must call on
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Distance recorders
The total and trip distances are displayed for
thirty seconds when the ignition is switched off,
when the driver's door is opened and when the
vehicle is locked or unlocked.
When travelling abroad, you may need
to change the unit of distance: the speed
display must be expressed in the official
units of the country (km or miles). The
change of units is done via the screen
configuration menu, with the vehicle
stationary.

The information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
ar row.
With a
manual gearbox, the arrow may be
accompanied by the gear recommended.
This arrow may be pointing up or down,
depending on the context.
The system adapts its gear efficiency
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver's requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear.
Stop & Start
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or
other, etc.). The engine restarts automatically –
START mode – as soon as you wish to move off
again.
Restarting occurs instantaneously, quickly and
silently.

If your vehicle is fitted with this system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
STOP mode during a
journey. It resets to zero
every time the ignition is switched on with the
"START/STOP" button. For your convenience, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a
few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start system does not modify
the vehicle's functions, such as, for
example, braking, power steering, etc.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition with
the "START/STOP" button.

The reversing camera function may be
supplemented with parking sensors.
The reversing camera cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
They are represented by lines marked
"on the ground" and do not allow you to
determine the position of tall obstacles (for
example: other vehicles, etc.) relative to
the vehicle.
Some distortion of the image is normal.
It is normal to have a part of the number
plate showing in the bottom of the screen. The blue lines 1
represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the gap represents the width of
your vehicle except for the door mirrors).
The red line 2 represents a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines 3 represent distances of about
one and two metres beyond the edge of your
vehicle's rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves 4 represent the
maximum turning circle.
Opening the tailgate causes the display to
disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not direct
the lance from less than 30 cm from the
lens of the camera.
Depending on version, the image is displayed
on the touch screen or the instrument panel.

Vision 360
This system allows the near surroundings of
the vehicle to be viewed in the instrument panel
using cameras.
They are situated at the front and rear of the
vehicle, as well as under the door mirrors.
Depending on the angle of view chosen (front
view, rear view or 360° panoramic view), the
Vision 360
system provides a specific visual aid
in particular driving conditions, such as when
entering a
blind crossroads or manoeuvring in
areas with reduced visibility.
Once activated, this function is operational up
to 9
mph (15 km/h). Above 19 mph (30 km/h),
the system deactivates automatically.
