Malfunction of the SCR emissions
control system
Malfunction detection


If a malfunction is detected,
these warning lamps come on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and an "Emissions 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, while 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 AdBlue warning lamp flashes, and an
"Emissions fault: Starting prevented in X
miles" or "NO START IN X miles" message is
displayed, indicating the driving range in miles or
kilometres.
While driving, the message is displayed every 30
seconds. The alert is repeated when switching
on the ignition.
You can continue driving for up to 685 miles
(1,100
km) before the engine immobiliser
system is triggered.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
as soon as possible.
Starting prevented
Whenever the ignition is switched on, the
"Emissions fault: Starting prevented" or "NO
START IN" message is displayed.
To be able to restart the engine, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Access
When locking/deadlocking from the
outside
When the vehicle is locked or deadlocked
from the outside, the indicator lamp flashes
and the button is inoperative.
► After normal locking, pull one of the
interior door controls to unlock the vehicle.
► After deadlocking, it is necessary to use
the remote control, Keyless Entry and Starting
or the integral key to unlock the vehicle.
Automatic (anti-intrusion security)
The doors and boot lock automatically when
driving (speed above 6 mph (10 km/h)).
To deactivate/reactivate this function (activated
by default):
► Press the button until an audible signal is
heard and a message appears in the screen.
Transporting long or bulky objects
Press the central locking control to drive
with the boot open and the doors locked.
Otherwise, every time the speed of the
vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), the locks
will rebound and an alert will appear.
Pressing the central locking button unlocks
the vehicle.
Above 6 mph (10 km/h), this unlocking is
temporary.
It is not possible to lock the vehicle if one of the
keys is left inside the vehicle.
Deadlocking
Deadlocking deactivates the exterior and
interior door controls, as well as the
central locking button on the dashboard.
The horn remains operational.
Never leave anyone inside the vehicle when it
is deadlocked.
►

With the electronic key in the recognition
zone, press one of the front door handles once
with your finger or thumb (at the markings) to
lock the vehicle.
►


Within 5 seconds, press the door handle
again to deadlock the vehicle.
If one of the doors or the boot is still open
or if the electronic key for the Keyless
Entry and Starting

system has been left inside
the vehicle, central locking will be disabled.
However

, if the vehicle is fitted with an alarm,
it will be activated after 45
seconds.
If the vehicle is unlocked but the doors or
boot are not subsequently opened, the
vehicle will automatically lock itself again after
about 30
seconds. If the vehicle is fitted with
an alarm, it will also be reactivated
automatically.
The automatic door mirror folding/ unfolding function is configured via the
touch screen’s vehicle configuration menu.
As a safety measure, never leave the vehicle, even for a short time, without
taking the Keyless Entry and Starting
system’s electronic key with you.
Be aware of the risk of theft of the vehicle if
the key is present in one of the defined areas
while the vehicle is unlocked.
Accumulations (water, dust, grime, salt, etc.) on the inner surface of the door
handle may affect detection.
If cleaning the inner surface of the door
handle using a cloth does not restore
detection, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
A sudden splash of water (stream of water,
high pressure jet washer, etc.) may be
identified by the system as the desire to open
the vehicle.
To preserve the battery charge in the electronic key and the vehicle's battery,
the "hands-free" functions are set to
hibernation mode after 21 days without use.
To restore these functions, press one of the
remote control buttons or start the engine with
the electronic key in the reader.
For more information on starting with the
Keyless Entry and Starting system, refer to
the corresponding section.
Electrical interference
The electronic key may not operate if

Practical information
Recommendations
► Distribute the load uniformly, taking
care to avoid overloading one of the sides.
► Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
► Lash the load down securely and fit a
warning flag if it overhangs the vehicle.
► Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds
(stability may be affected).
► Remove the roof bars once they are no
longer needed.
Maximum load, distributed over the roof
bars, for a loading height not exceeding
40 cm: 80 kg.
As this value may change, please verify the
maximum load quoted on the note supplied
with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the road
to avoid damaging the roof bars and the
mountings on the vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order
to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects which are longer than the vehicle.
Bonnet
Stop & Start
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
you must switch off the ignition to avoid any
systemI windscreen wipers, dipped beam
headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum
combined duration of about forty minutesK
Switching to the mode
A message indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode is displayed on the
touch screen and the active functions are put on
standby.
If a telephone call is in progress at the
time, it will be maintained for around 10
minutes using your audio system’s hands-free
system.
Exiting the mode
These functions will be automatically restored
the next time the vehicle is used.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
–

for less than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately five minutes,
–


for more than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for up to approximately thirty minutes.
Let the engine run for the duration specified to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the
engine in order to charge the battery

.
A flat battery prevents the engine from starting.
For more information on the 12 V battery,
refer to the corresponding section.
Roof bars
For safety reasons and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the transverse bars approved for your vehicle.
Observe the fitting instructions and the
conditions of use in the guide supplied
with the roof bars.
Version without longitudinal
bars


When fitting roof bars, use only the four fixing
points located in the roof frame. The points are
hidden by the vehicle doors when closed.


The roof bar fixings include a lug to be fitted into
the hole at each fixing point.
Version with longitudinal
bars


You must fit the transverse bars to the
longitudinal bars at the fixing points indicated by
engraved markings on the longitudinal bars.
