1Actions required related to a lack of AdBlue®
The following warning lamps light up when the
quantity of AdBlue® is lower than the reserve
level corresponding to a 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.
For more information on AdBlue®
(BlueHDi engines), and in particular on
topping up, refer to the corresponding section.

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 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 AdBlue warning lamp flashes and
a message is displayed (" Emissions
control
fault: starting prevented in X miles
(kms)"), 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 starting
prevention system is triggered.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
as soon as possible.

Instruments
Starting prevented
Every time the ignition is switched on, the
message "Emissions control fault: Starting
prevented" is displayed.
To restart the engine
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Power indicator
(Rechargeable hybrid)
The power indicator shows in real time the power
demanded from the vehicle.
There are 3 zones:


POWER High power demand, using the combined capabilities of the petrol
engine and the electric motor.
The slider is located in this zone
during more dynamic driving phases
when high levels of performance are
being demanded.
ECO Optimal use of energy (internal combustion or electric).
The slider is located in this zone
when driving under electric power
and when optimal use is being made
of the petrol engine, both accessible
by adopting a suitable driving style.
A symbol indicates the threshold at
which the petrol engine will restart.
The driver can therefore moderate
their acceleration to remain in electric
driving mode.
CHARGE Energy recovery for partly recharging the traction battery.
The slider is located in this zone
during deceleration: taking your foot
off the accelerator pedal or braking.
Partial recharging of the battery by
energy recovery has no effect on the
charge level indicator.
Charge level indicator
(Rechargeable hybrid)


The charge level of the traction battery and
the remaining range in electric driving mode
are permanently displayed when the vehicle is
switched on.
The range displayed depends on the use of the vehicle (type of driving and speed),
the outside temperature and the activated
comfort equipment.
Distance recorders

The total and trip distances are displayed for
thirty seconds when the ignition is switched off,

21
Instruments
1when the driver's door is opened and when the

The display of distance and speed must be
expressed in the official unit of the country
(km or miles). The change of units is done via
the screen configuration menu, with the
vehicle stationary.
Total distance recorder
It measures the total distance travelled by the
vehicle since its first registration.

Instruments
1Distance that can still be travelled with the
fuel remaining in the tank (based on the
average fuel consumption over the last few miles
(kilometres) travelled).
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
miles (100
km).
If dashes instead of figures continue to be
displayed while driving, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
