In the event of detection of a fault with the SCR emissions control system
In the event of 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 650 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.

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
30 miles (50 km) covered with the permanent
display of the message signalling a fault), the
SERVICE and engine self-diagnostics warning
lamps come on and the AdBlue warning lamp
flashes, accompanied by an audible signal and
the temporary display in the instrument panel
of "NO START IN" and a distance, indicating
the remaining range expressed in miles or
kilometres before engine starting is prevented
(e.g. "NO START IN 350
miles" means that
