Service indicator
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the degree
of deterioration of the engine oil is also
taken into account (depending on the
country of sale).
When the ignition is switched on, no service
information appears in the screen.
More than 1,800 miles (3,000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Between 600 miles (1,000 km) and 1,800 miles
(3,000 km) remain before the next service is due
The spanner symbolising the service
operations illuminates for 5 seconds when the
ignition is switched on. The distance recorder
display line indicates the distance remaining
before the next service is due.
Example: You have 1,700 miles (2,800 km) left
before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the screen indicates:
Less than 600 miles (1,000 km) remain
before the next service is due
Example: You have 560 miles (900 km) left
before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the screen indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the total distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The servicing spanner remains on
as a reminder that a service is required soon.
System which informs the driver when the
next service is due, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last reset of the service
indicator, according to the mileage covered and
the time elapsed since the last service.
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the spanner goes off
; the distance recorder
resumes its normal operation. The screen then
indicates the total distance.

The servicing interval has been exceededFor 5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner flashes to indicate that
the service must be carried out as soon as
possible.
Example: the service is overdue by 186 miles
(3 0 0 k m).
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the screen indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the total distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains on .
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, this alert
is also accompanied by the continuous
illumination of the Service warning light
when the ignition is switched on. The remaining mileage may be weighted
by time according to the driver’s driving
habits.
The spanner may therefore also come
on if you have exceeded the period
since the last service, as indicated in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the spanner
may also come on early, depending on the
degree of deterioration of the engine oil
(depending on the country of sale).
The degree of deterioration of the engine
oil depends on the driving conditions in
which the vehicle is used.Resetting the service indicator
The service indicator must be reset after each
service.
The procedure for resetting to zero is as
follows:
F

S
witch off the ignition.
F

P
ress the trip distance recorder reset
button and keep it pressed.
F

S
witch the ignition on; the distance
recorder display starts a countdown.
F

R
elease the button when =0 is displayed;
the spanner disappears.
Following this operation, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle
and wait at least five minutes for the zero
reset to be taken into account.
Retrieving the service
information
You can access the service information at any
time.
F

P
ress the trip distance recorder reset
button. The service information is
displayed for a few seconds, then
disappears.

Exceeding programmed
speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal in order to
exceed the programmed speed will have
no effect unless you press the pedal firmly
beyond the point of resistance .
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the programmed speed, which is still
displayed, flashes, accompanied by an audible
signal.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means
of intentional or unintentional deceleration of
the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing
of the programmed speed and the audible
signal stops.
Exiting the limiter mode Malfunction
In the event of a speed limiter fault, the speed
is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.
Have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
On a steep descent or in the event of
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-

e

nsure that the mat is secured
c o r r e c t l y,
-

d

o not fit one mat on top of another.
F
T
urn thumb wheel 1 to the 0 position:
the speed limiter mode is deselected.
The display returns to the total mileage
recorder.

Exceeding the programmed
speed
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the
programmed speed results in flashing of this
speed on the display.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means
of intentional or unintentional deceleration of
the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing
of the programmed speed.
Leaving cruise control modeMalfunction
When cruise control is active, be careful
when holding one of the speed setting
buttons: this may result in a very rapid
change in the speed of your vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-
E
nsure that mats are secured
c o r r e c t l y.
-

D
o not fit one mat on top of another.
In the event of a cruise control fault, the speed
is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.
Have them checked by a

AdBlue® and SCR system for BlueHDi Diesel engines
Using a fluid called AdBlue® containing urea, a
catalytic converter turns up to 85% of nitrogen
oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are
harmless to health and the environment.
The AdBlue
® is contained in a specific tank
of approximately 17 litres. Its capacity allows
a driving range of around 12,500 miles
(20,000

km). An alert system is triggered
automatically once the reserve level is reached:
you can then drive for a further 1,500 miles
(2,400 km) before the tank is empty.
During each scheduled service of your vehicle
by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
the AdBlue® tank is refilled in order to allow
normal operation of the SCR system. If the estimated mileage of your vehicle
between two services is greater than
12,500
miles (20,000 km), it will be necessary
to top-up the AdBlue
®.
Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system
required by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6 standard: your vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon
as possible: after a running distance of
650 miles (1,100 km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent engine
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
the distance you can travel before the
vehicle is immobilised.
SCR system
To assure respect for the environment and
conformity with the new Euro 6 emissions
standard, without adversely affecting the
per formance or fuel consumption of Diesel
engines,
CITROËN has taken the decision to
equip its vehicles with an effective system that
associates the SCR system (Selective Catalytic
Reduction) with a particle filter (FAP) for the
treatment of exhaust gases.
