This is signalled by the display of the message "Oil
level measurement invalid" in the instrument panel.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a fault with the electric
i ndicator, the engine oil level is no longer
monitored.
If the system is faulty, you must check the
engine oil level using the manual dipstick
located under the bonnet.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
AdBlue® range indicators
These range indicators are present only on
BlueHDi Diesel versions.
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 the risk of non-
starting related to a lack of
AdBlue
®
The engine starting prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is
e m pt y.
Range greater than 1,500

In the event of a fault with the
S CR emissions control system
A system that prevents engine starting is
activated automatically from 685
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.
In the event of the detection of a
fault
If it is a
temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey, after
self-diagnosis of the SCR system. During the permitted driving phase
(between 685
and 0 miles (1,100 and 0 km))
While driving, the message is displayed every
30
seconds while the fault with the SCR system
persists.
The alert is repeated when switching on the
ignition.
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.
Starting prevented You have exceeded the authorised driving
limit: the starting prevention system does
not allow the engine to be started.
These warning lamps come on, accompanied
by an audible signal and the 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 31 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 display of a message
(e.g. "Emissions fault: Starting prevented in
185 miles") indicating the remaining range in
miles or kilometres.
Each time the ignition is switched on, these
warning lamps come on and the AdBlue
warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of the message
"Emissions fault: Starting prevented". To be able to start the engine, you must call on
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Distance recorders
The total and trip distances are displayed for
thirty seconds when the ignition is switched off,
when the driver's door is opened and when the
vehicle is locked or unlocked.
When travelling abroad, you may need
to change the unit of distance: the speed
display must be expressed in the official
units of the country (km or miles). The
change of units is done via the screen
configuration menu, with the vehicle
stationary.

Brake fluid level
The fluid level should be close to the
"MA X" mark. If it is not, check the
brake pad wear.
Fluid specification
The fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a
risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up. To avoid the risk of scalding when you need to
top up in an emergency, wrap a
cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up to the required level.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Screenwash/headlamp
wash level low
In the case of vehicles fitted with
headlamp washers, when the fluid
reser voir low level is reached this
warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a


message.
The warning lamp comes on when the ignition
is switched on, or every time the stalk is
operated, until the reser voir is refilled.
The next time you stop, have the screenwash/
headlamp wash reser voir topped up.
Diesel fuel additive level
(Diesel with particle filter)
The additive reser voir low level is
indicated by fixed illumination of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a
message that
the particle filter additive level is
too low.
To p p i n g u p
This additive must be topped up without delay
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Level of AdBlue
An alert is triggered once the reser ve level is
reached.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised as per
regulations, you must top up with AdBlue.
For more information on AdBlue and the SCR
system, and, in particular, topping up the tank,
refer to the corresponding section.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.

Practical information

204
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi engines)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel
consumption of Diesel engines, CITROËN
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a
system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a
Diesel particle filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a fluid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85%
of nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue
® is contained in
a
special tank holding about
17


litres.
Its capacity allows a

driving range of around
12,500

miles (20,000

km). An alert system is
triggered automatically once the reser ve level
is reached: you can then drive for a
further
1,500

miles (2,400

km) before the tank is
e m pt y. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system
required by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is defective, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6

standard: your vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a

confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to a
CITROËN
dealer or a

qualified workshop as soon
as possible: after a
running distance of
685

miles (1,100

km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent engine
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
the distance you can travel before the
vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning and
indicator lamps and associated alerts,
refer to the corresponding section.
Freezing of the AdBlue
®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a
heater for the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue
driving in very cold conditions.
