Actions required related to a lack of AdBlue®
The following warning lamps light up when the 
quantity  of AdBlue® is below the reserve level: 
driving range of 1,500 miles (2,400 km).
Together with the warning lamps, messages 
regularly remind you of the need to top up to 
avoid engine starting being prevented. Refer to 
the Warning and indicator lamps  section for 
details of the messages displayed.

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.

The indicator changes colour depending on how 
energy from the traction battery is being used:
– 
Blue: energy consumption.
–
 
Green: energy recovery
 .
This indicator does not represent the battery's actual level of charge.
Thermal comfort 
consumption indicator 
(Electric)
(Depending on version)
It is available in the display pages of the 
instrument panel.
 
 
The gauge shows the consumption of the 
traction battery's electrical energy by the thermal 
comfort devices in the passenger compartment.
The devices in question are the heating and air 
conditioning systems.
This equipment can be used:
–
 
If the vehicle is not plugged in, when the 
READY
 lamp is lit.
–
 
If the vehicle is plugged in, when the ignition is 
switched on ("Lounge" mode).
Selecting  ECO
 mode limits the performance of 
some of this equipment. The thermal comfort 
consumption indicator then moves into the 
"ECO" zone.
To quickly heat or cool the passenger  compartment, feel free to temporarily 
select the maximum heating or cooling 
setting.
When the heating is on maximum, the gauge 
on the thermal comfort consumption indicator 
is in the MAX zone. When the air conditioning 
is on maximum, it stays in the ECO zone.
Excessive use of thermal comfort equipment, 
particularly at low speed, can significantly 
decrease the vehicle's range.
Remember to optimise equipment settings 
upon achieving the desired level of comfort, 
and adjust them if necessary whenever you 
start the vehicle.
After an extended period without using the 
heating, you may notice a slight odour during 
the first few minutes of use.

This value may vary following a change in driving 
style or terrain, leading to a significant change in 
current fuel consumption.
When the range falls below 19 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 62
