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.

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
The fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
Fluid specification
The screenwash fluid must be topped up with
a ready for use mix.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid with
antifreeze must be used that is appropriate for
the prevailing conditions, in order to preser ve
the elements of the system (pump, tank, ducts,
e t c .) . To avoid the risk of scalding when you need to
top up in an emergency, place 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 the level.
Diesel fuel additive level
(Diesel with particle filter)
The additive tank minimum 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.
Topping up
This additive must be topped up without
delay by a member of the dealer network or
a


qualified workshop.
AdBlue level
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 it up, refer to
the corresponding section.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule and according
to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by the dealer
network or a
qualified workshop.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the
terminals are correctly tightened and
that the connections are clean.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a
12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only in the dealer network or a
qualified
workshop.
When carrying out any operation on the 12
V
battery, refer to the corresponding section for
details of the precautions to be taken before
starting work.
Filling with pure water is prohibited under all
circumstances (risk of freezing, limestone
deposits, etc.).

Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a
leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact the dealer
network or a
qualified workshop. Only use products recommended by
DS
AUTOMOBILES or products of
equivalent quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in
the braking system, DS AUTOMOBILES
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 performance
or fuel consumption of diesel engines,
DS
AUTOMOBILES has taken the decision to
equip its vehicles with a
system that combines
SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) with
a
diesel particle filter (DPF) for the treatment of
exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the oxides of nitrogen (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
During each scheduled ser vice of your vehicle
in the dealer network or a

qualified workshop,
the AdBlue
® tank is refilled in order to allow
normal operation of the SCR system.
If the estimated distance travelled between
two ser vices is greater than 12,500
miles
(20,000

km), it will be necessary to top up the
AdBlue
®.
The AdBlue
® is contained in a special tank
w
ith a
capacity of around 17 litres: its capacity
offers a

driving range of around 12,500 miles
(20,000

km) before triggering an alert system
that warns you when you can drive for a
further
1,500

miles (2,400 km).
07
Practical information

160
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 the dealer
network 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 the associated
alerts, refer to the corresponding section.
Freezing of the AdBlue
® additive
The AdBlue® additive 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.
Topping up with AdBlue®
Filling the AdBlue® tank is an operation
included in every routine ser vice on your
vehicle by the dealer network or a
qualified
workshop.
Nevertheless, given the capacity of the tank,
it may be necessary to top up the AdBlue
®
between ser vices, more particularly if an alert
(warning lamps and a


message) signals the
requirement.
You can go to a

member of the dealer network
or a


qualified workshop.
If you envisage topping up yourself, please
read the following recommendations and
warnings carefully.
Precautions for use
In certain conditions (high exterior temperature,
for example), the risk of ammonia being
released cannot be excluded: do not inhale
the vapours. Ammonia has an irritant effect on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of children,
in its original container or bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity.
Never dilute AdBlue
® with water.
Never pour AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
AdBlue
® is a urea-based solution. This fluid
is
non-flammable, colourless and odourless
(stored in a
cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In
the event of contact with the eyes, immediately
rinse the eyes with large amounts of water
or with an eye wash solution for at least
15

minutes. If a burning sensation or irritation
persists, get medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water. Use only AdBlue
® liquid that meets the
ISO
22241
standard.
07
Practical information

161
Bottles or containers are available from the
dealer network or a qualified workshop.
Never top up from an AdBlue
® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes below around -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles or containers be stored in a
cool
place and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a
year.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once
it has completely thawed out at ambient
temperature.
Never store bottles or containers of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
Do not dispose of AdBlue
® bottles or
containers in the household waste.
Place them in a

container provided for
this purpose or take them to your dealer.
Procedure
Before topping up, ensure that the vehicle is
parked on a flat and level sur face.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the
temperature of the vehicle is above -11°C.
Otherwise the AdBlue
® may be frozen and
so cannot be poured into its tank. Park your
vehicle in a

warmer area for a few hours to
allow the top up to be carried out.

Advice on care and
maintenance
Recommendations on the care and
maintenance of your vehicle are given in the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
Textured paint
Textured paint reacts to light with variations of
appearance and finish that emphasise the car's
lines and form. This paint coating has particles
that remain visible and create a unique satin
relief effect. Its lightly granulated texture gives
it a
surprising feel. Observe the following recommendations
to avoid damaging the paint finish:
-

c
hoose a high pressure wash, or at
least a high water delivery; roller brush
washing is compatible.
-
g
ently wipe the body with a clean
microfibre cloth.
-
c
arefully wipe off any fuel spilt on the
body using a soft cloth, then allow to
d r y.
-

c
lean off minor marks (for example,
finger marks), using the product in the
"TECHNATURE" range intended for
removing insects.
H o w eve r,
-

d
o not select the programme with hot
wax finish.
-

d
o not use waterless cleaning.
-

n
ever polish the vehicle.
-

d
o not use paint restorers, abrasive
or polishing products, or bright paint
preser vers (wax polish, for example).
It is always preferable to have paint
repairs carried out in the dealer network or
by a


qualified workshop.
