AdBlue® fluid range
indicators
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 a simultaneous system fault and
low AdBlue
® level, the shortest range figure is
the one displayed.
In the event of the risk of
non-starting related to a
lack of AdBlue
®
The engine starting inhibition 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 the range in the instrument
panel.
Resetting the service indicator
After each service, the service indicator must
be reset to zero.
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 ser vice information at any
time.

Remaining range between 1,500 and 350 miles (2,400 and 600 km)
When driving, this message is displayed every
180 miles (300 km) until the fluid level has been
topped up.
The reser ve level has been reached; it is
recommended that you top up as soon as
possible.
It is recommended that you do not top up by
more than 10
litres of AdBlue.
For more information on AdBlue
® and
the SCR system , and, in particular,
on topping up the AdBlue
®, refer to the
corresponding section. Range below 350
miles (600 km)
When driving, this message is displayed every
30 seconds until the AdBlue level has been
topped up.
It is essential to top up as soon as possible and
before the tank is completely empty; other wise
it will not be possible to restart the engine after
the next stop.
When switching on the ignition, this warning
lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of "NO START IN" and a
distance on the instrument panel, indicating the
driving range expressed in miles or kilometres
before engine starting is prevented –
(e.g. "NO START IN 900
miles" means
"Starting will be prevented in 900 miles").
When switching on the ignition, this warning
lamp flashes and the service warning lamp
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 180 miles" means "Starting
will be prevented in 180 miles").
For more information on AdBlue
®
(BlueHDI engines) and, in particular, on
topping up, refer to the corresponding
section. Breakdown related to a lack of AdBlue
®
The AdBlue® tank is empty: the starting
inhibition system required by regulations
prevents starting of the engine.
To be able to restart the engine, it is
essential to add at least 4
litres of AdBlue
®
to its tank.
For more information on the AdBlue
® (BlueHDi
engines) , and, in particular, on topping up,
refer to the corresponding section. When switching on the ignition, this warning
lamp flashes and the service warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an audible signal
and the temporary display of "NO START IN"
and 0
miles or km on the instrument panel –
("NO START IN 0
miles" means "Starting
prevented").

If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after auto diagnosis checks of the SCR
emissions control system.
During the permitted driving phase
(between 650
and 0 miles (1,100 km and
0
km))
While driving, the message is displayed every
30
seconds while the fault with the SCR
emissions control system persists.
The alert is repeated when switching on the
ignition. Starting prevented
You have exceeded the authorised driving
limit: the starting inhibition system does
not allow the engine to be started.
To be able to restart the engine, you must call
on a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.In the event of a fault with
the SCR emissions control
system
An engine starting inhibition device is
activated automatically after you have
driven a further 650 miles (1,100 km)
following 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
These warning lamps come on, accompanied
by an audible signal and the display of the
message "Emissions fault".
The alert is triggered while driving as soon
as 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 30
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 temporary display
in the instrument cluster of NO START IN
and a distance, indicating the driving range
expressed in miles or kilometres before engine
starting is prevented – (e.g. "NO START IN
350
miles" means "Starting will be prevented in
350
miles").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.
When switching on the ignition, these warning
lamps comes on and the AdBlue warning lamp
flashes, accompanied by an audible signal and
the temporary display of "NO START IN" and
0
miles or kilometres on the instrument panel –
("NO START IN 0
miles" means "Starting
prevented").

This value may vary following a change
in the driving style or the relief, resulting
in a significant change in the current fuel
consumption.
When the range falls below 18
miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least
5
litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed if it exceeds 60
miles (100 km).
If dashes are displayed continuously while
driving instead of the digits, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Lost keys
Go to a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's
registration document, your personal
identification documents and if possible the key
code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to look up the
key code and the transponder code required to
order a new key.Do not throw away the remote control
batteries, they contain metals which are
harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic
engine immobiliser system; this could cause
malfunctions.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a sensitive
system; do not operate it while it is in your
pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock
the vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your
remote control out of range and out of sight of
your vehicle. You risk making it inoperative. It
will then be necessary to reinitialise it.
No remote control can operate when the key is
in the ignition switch, even when the ignition is
switched off, except for reinitialisation.
Locked vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may render
access by the emergency services to the
interior difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, never leave children
alone in the vehicle, except for a very short
period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key
from the ignition switch when leaving the
vehicle. Second-hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your
possession checked by a CITROËN dealer, to
ensure that only your keys can be used to open
and start the vehicle.
