For more information on the AdBlue®
(BlueHDi engines) , and in particular on
topping up, refer to the corresponding
section.
Breakdown due to a

lack of AdBlue
®
The AdBlue® tank is empty: the starting
inhibition system required by legislation
prevents starting of the engine.
To be able to start the engine, we
recommend that you call on a
dealer
or a

qualified workshop for the top-up
required.
If you carry out the top-up yourself, it
is essential to add at least 3.8
litres of
AdBlue
® to the tank.
In the event of a fault with the SCR
e missions 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 the dealer
network or a
qualified workshop as soon
as possible.
In the event of the detection of a
faultIf it is a
temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after self-diagnostic checks of the SCR
emissions control system.
When switching on the ignition, this warning
lamp flashes and the Service warning lamp
comes on, together with an audible signal and
the display of the message "Top up emissions
additive: Starting prevented". These warning lamps come on, accompanied
by an audible signal and the display of the
message "Emissions fault".
The alert is triggered while driving as soon
as the fault is detected for the first time, then
when switching on the ignition for subsequent
journeys, while the fault persists.During the permitted driving phase
(between 685
and 0 miles (1,100 km and
0


km))
If a
fault with the SCR system is confirmed
(after 30
miles (50 km) covered with the
permanent display of the message signalling
a
fault), these warning lamps come on and the
UREA warning lamp flashes, associated with
an audible signal and the display of a
message
(e.g. "Emissions fault: Starting prevented in
190


miles") indicating the remaining range
expressed in miles or kilometres.
While driving, the message is displayed every
30 seconds while the fault with the SCR emission
control system persists.
The alert is repeated when switching on the ignition.
You should go to a
network dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Other wise you will not be able to restart the vehicle.
