SCR emissions control system - BlueHDi Diesel
Alerts Information Solution - action
The UREA, Service and diagnostic warning lamps 
come on, an SCR emissions control system fault 
has been detected. This is is temporary fault, the alert disappears as 
soon as the exhaust emissions return to normal 
levels.
After 30 miles (50 km) without additive
Confirmation of the fault which is not related to a 
lack of additive. The remaining driving range 700 miles (1 100 km).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop 
as soon as possible to avoid a breakdown.
The fault is confirmed.
The next time the ignition is switched on, the 
authorised driving range will be displayed in miles 
(kilometres) and the alert will be repeated every 
30
  seconds.
The limit of the driving range has been reached, 
exhaust emissions levels are above the limits.
Starting is impossible. To restart the engine, you must contact a

The needle is positioned before the 
red zone: normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot 
climatic conditions, the needle may 
move close to the red graduations.What you should do if the needle 
enters the red zone:
Reduce your speed or let the engine 
run at idle.
What you should do if the warning 
lamp comes on:
-
 
stop immediately
 , switch off the 
ignition. The fan may continue to 
operate for a certain time, up to 
approximately 10 minutes,
-  
wait for the engine to cool down in 
order to check the coolant level and 
top it up if necessary
.
As the cooling system is pressurised, 
follow the procedure below to avoid the 
risk of scalding:
-  
wait at least one hour after 
switching of
f the engine before 
carrying out any work,
-  
unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to 
allow the pressure to drop,
-
  
when the pressure has dropped, 
check the level in the header tank,
-
  if necessary , remove the cap to top 
up.
If the needle remains in the red 
zone, have the system checked by 
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Refer to chapter 7, "Levels" 
section.
Refer to chapter 7, "Fuel" section.
The fuel level is tested each time the 
key is turned to the "running" position.

TROLS
This system continuously 
monitors the pressures of 
the four tyres, as soon as 
the vehicle is moving.
EOBD (European On Board 
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics 
system which complies with, 
among others, the standards 
on the authorised emissions of:
-
 
CO (carbon monoxide),
-
 
HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
-
 
NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles, 
detected by oxygen sensors placed 
upstream and downstream of the 
catalytic converters.
The 
driver is warned of any malfunction 
of this emission control system by the 
illumination of this specific warning 
lamp in the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the 
catalytic converter. Have it checked 
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop. A pressure sensor is located in the 
valve of each tyre (except the spare 
wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop 
in pressure is detected in one or more 
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection 
system is an aid to driving which 
does not replace the need for 
vigilance on the part of the driver. This system does not avoid the 
need to check the tyre pressures 
regularly (including the spare 
wheel) and before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres 
adversely affects road holding, 
extends braking distances and causes 
premature tyre wear, particularly under 
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded, 
high speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres 
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle 
can be found on the tyre pressure 
label.
Refer to chapter 9, "Identification 
markings" section.
The tyre pressures must be checked 
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped 
for 1 hour or after driving for less then 
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values 
indicated on the label.

The alert is maintained until 
the tyre or tyres concerned is 
reinflated, repaired or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver 
type or a steel rim) does not have a 
sensor.
Operating fault
Under-inflation alert
The loss of pressure detected 
does not always lead to visible 
deformation of the tyre. Do not rely 
on just a visual check.
The alert is given by the fixed 
illumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by an audible signal, 
and depending on equipment, the 
display of a message. The flashing and then 
fixed illumination of the 
under-inflation warning 
lamp accompanied by the 
illumination of the "Service" warning 
lamp, and depending on equipment, 
the display of a message indicates a 
fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre 
pressures is not assured.
In the event of a problem on one of 
the tyres, the symbol or the message 
appears, according to equipment, to 
identify it.
-
 
Reduce speed, avoid sudden 
steering movements or harsh brake 
applications.
-
 
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
-
 
In the event of a puncture, use 
the temporary puncture repair kit 
or the spare wheel (according to 
equipment),
 or
-
 
if you have a compressor
, the one 
in the temporary puncture repair 
kit for example, check the four tyre 
pressures when cold,
 or
-
 
if it is not possible to check the 
tyre pressures at the time, drive 
carefully at reduced speed. This alert is also displayed when 
one or more wheels is not fitted 
with a sensor (for example, a 
space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop
  to have the system checked 
or, following the repair of a puncture, to 
have the original wheel, equipped with 
a sensor, refitted.

SERVICE InDICATOR
This programmes service intervals 
according to the use of the vehicle. More than 1 000 miles/km before the 
next service is due
Example: 4 800 miles/km remain 
before the next service is due. When 
the ignition is switched on and for a 
few seconds, the screen shows:
A few seconds after the ignition is 
switched on, the oil level is displayed 
(depending on version), then the total 
distance recorder resumes normal 
operation showing the total and trip 
distances.
Less than 1 000 miles/km before the 
next service is due
Each time the ignition is switched on and for a few 
seconds, the spanner flashes and the number of 
miles/kilometres remaining is displayed:
A few seconds after the ignition is 
switched on, the oil level is displayed 
(depending on version), then the total 
distance recorder resumes normal 
operation and the spanner remains on. 
This indicates that a service should be 
carried out shortly.
Service overdue
Operation
A few moments after the ignition 
has been switched on, the spanner 
indicating a service operation comes 
on; the display for the total distance 
recorder gives (in round figures) the 
distance remaining before the next 
service.
The points at which a service is due 
are calculated from the last indicator 
zero reset.
The point at which a service is due is 
determined by two parameters:
-
 
the distance travelled,
-
 
the time which has elapsed since 
the last service. The distance remaining before the 
next service may be weighted by 
the time factor
, depending on the 
type of driving. With the engine running the spanner 
remains on until the service has been 
carried out.
For 
b lueH d i  d iesel versions, this 
alert is also accompanied by the fixed 
illumination of the Service warning 
lamp, on switching on the ignition. Each time the ignition is 
switched on and for a few 
seconds, the spanner 
flashes and the excess 
distance is displayed.
For 
b lueH d i  d iesel versions, the 
spanner can also come on early, 
according the level of deterioration 
of the engine oil. Deterioration of the 
engine oil depends on the conditions of 
use of the vehicle.

Engine oil level indicator
Depending on your vehicle's engine, 
when the ignition is switched on, 
the engine oil level is indicated for 
a few
  seconds, after the service 
information. Oil level  
correct
Low oil level
Flashing of "OIL", 
linked with the 
service warning lamp, 
accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message in the 
screen, indicates a low oil level which 
could damage the engine.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a 
check using the dipstick, it is essential 
that the level is topped up.
Oil level gauge  
fault
Flashing of "OIL--"  
indicates a malfunction 
of the engine oil level 
indicator. Contact a CITROËN dealer or 
a qualified workshop.
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. Dipstick
A = maximum, never exceed 
this level as a surplus of oil 
may damage the engine.
Contact a CITROËN dealer

GEAR SHIFT InDICATOR
System which reduces fuel 
consumption by recommending the 
most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and 
your vehicle's equipment, the system 
may advise you to skip one (or more) 
gear(s). You can follow this instruction 
without engaging the intermediate 
gears.
The gear engagement 
recommendations must not be 
considered compulsory. In fact, the 
configuration of the road, the amount 
of traffic and safety remain determining 
factors when choosing the best 
gear. Therefore, the driver remains 
responsible for deciding whether or 
not to follow the advice given by the 
system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an electronic gearbox, the system 
is only active in manual mode. The system adapts its gear 
change recommendation 
according to the driving conditions 
(slope, load,
  ...) and the demands 
of the driver (power, acceleration, 
braking,
  ...).
The system never suggests:
-
 
engaging first gear
 ,
-
 
engaging reverse gear
 .
The information appears in 
the instrument panel in the 
form of an arrow.
