Limit the causes of excess
consumption
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a
BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. As soon as possible, visit a member
of the dealer network or a qualified workshop
to make your vehicle's level of nitrogen oxides
emissions compliant to the standard.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a
consistent average.
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.

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 start prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is
e m pt y.
Range greater than 1,500

miles (2,400 km)
When switching on the ignition, there is no
automatic display of range in the instrument
panel.

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.
When driving, this message is displayed every
30
seconds until the AdBlue level has been

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.

For your convenience, the settings are
stored between two starts of the vehicle.
When the engine is cold, the air flow will
only reach its optimum level gradually
to prevent too much cold air being
distributed.
Temperature adjustment
The value shown on the display is a level of
c omfort, not a temperature in degrees Celsius
or Fahrenheit.
Press the 5
and 6 buttons to
change this value. A setting of
around 21


provides optimum
comfort. Nonetheless, depending
on your needs, a setting between
18
and 24 is typical.
This system is designed to operate effectively
in all seasons, with the windows closed.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior is
very cold or very warm, there is no need
to change the value displayed in order to
obtain the comfort required. The system
compensates automatically and corrects
the temperature difference as quickly as
possible.
