AdBlue® range indicators
(BlueHDi)
The Diesel BlueHDi engines are equipped with
a system that associates the SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) emissions control system
and the Diesel particle filter (DPF) for the
treatment of exhaust gases. They cannot
function without AdBlue
® fluid.
When the level of AdBlue® falls below the
reserve level (between 1,500 and 0 miles (2,400
and 0

km)), a warning lamp lights up when
the ignition is switched on and an estimate
of the distance that can be travelled before
engine starting is prevented is displayed in the
instrument panel.
The engine starting prevention system required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is empty.
It is then no longer possible to start the
engine until the minimum level of AdBlue
® has
been topped up.
Manual display of driving range
While the driving range is greater than
1,500 miles (2,400 km), it is not displayed
automatically.

Malfunction detection


If a malfunction is detected,
these warning lamps come
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and the
display of an " Emissions
control
fault" message.
The alert is triggered while driving when the
fault is detected for the first time, and thereafter
when switching on the ignition for subsequent
journeys, for as long as the cause of the fault
persists.
If the fault is temporary, the alert
disappears during the next journey, after
self-diagnostic checks of the SCR emissions
control system.
Malfunction confirmed during the
permitted driving phase (between 685
miles and 0
miles (1,100 km and 0 km))
If the fault indication is still displayed
permanently after 31 miles (50 km) of driving, the
fault in the SCR system is confirmed.
