of the vehicle allows you to determine whether
the situation is normal or whether a fault has
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp
for further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on
for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on. These warning lamps should go off as soon
as the engine is started.

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.
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 the range
While the driving range is greater than
1,500 miles (2,400 km), it is not displayed
automatically.




► Press this button to temporarily display the
driving range.

Instruments
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.

1A current trip is any trip of more than 20 minutes without switching off the ignition.
Deferred charging
By default, charging begins when the nozzle is
connected.
Deferred charging may be programmed via the
touch screen.
Deferred charging is then activated by a button
located in the charging flap.
You can also programme the deferred charging function using a smartphone, via
the MyCitroën application.
For more information on Charging the traction
battery (Rechargeable hybrid), refer to the
corresponding section.
eSave
The eSave function makes it possible to reserve
all or part of the electrical energy in the traction
battery for later use during a journey (e.g. driving
in an urban area or in an area reserved for
electric vehicles).
►

Select the electric range to be reserved ( 10
km

, 20 km or the full range MAX) then activate
the function by pressing ON.
Activation of the function is confirmed by
the lighting of this indicator lamp on the
instrument panel and the
indication of the energy
reserve in miles or kms.
►

T

o use the energy reserve, choose the
Electric driving mode in the mode selector.
If the requested range exceeds the
available range (not recommended), the
internal combustion engine starts to recharge
the traction battery up to the requested
threshold. This leads to excessive fuel
consumption.
