When the ignition is switched on
with a key in the ignition switch or a
starting instruction made using the
"START/STOP " button, the engine
temperature makes engine pre-
heating necessary. The period of illumination of the indicator lamp is
determined by the ambient conditions (up to about
thirty seconds in severe winter conditions).
With an ignition switch and key, wait until the indicator
lamp goes off before starting.
With Keyless Entry and Starting, once it goes off,
starting is immediate, on condition that the brake
pedal remains pressed with an automatic gearbox, or
the clutch pedal is pressed fully down with a manual
gearbox.
If the engine does not start, switch the ignition off and
then on, wait until the indicator lamp goes off again,
then start the engine.

On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, the state of the engine oil level is
displayed in the instrument panel for a few
seconds, at the same time as the servicing
information.
Engine oil level indicator*
The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and the
engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.
Oil level correct
This is indicated by the flashing of "OIL" or the
display of a message, accompanied by the
service warning lamp and an audible signal.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
avoid damage to the engine.
For more information on Checking the levels
and in particular the oil level, refer to the
corresponding section. This is signalled by the flashing of "
OIL- -" or
the display of a message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a fault with the electric indicator,
the oil level is no longer monitored.
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 the levels
and in particular the oil level, refer to the
corresponding section.

the normal service point, according to
the level of deterioration of the engine
oil, which depends on the driving
conditions in which the vehicle is used.
Service overdue
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on,

The engine start prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank
is empty.
AdBlue® fluid range indicators
Once the AdBlue® tank is on reserve 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 simultaneous system fault and
low AdBlue
® level, the shortest range figure is
the one displayed.
In the event of the risk of non-starting related to a lack of AdBlue®
Range greater than 1 500 miles (2 400 km)
When the ignition is switched on, no
information on range is displayed automatically

miles" means that starting will be
prevented in 900 miles).
When driving, the message is displayed every
190 miles (300 km) until the AdBlue tank has
been topped up.
The reserve level has been reached; it is
recommended that the tank be topped up as

In the event of a fault with the the SCR emissions control system
A system that prevents engine starting is activated automatically from 650 miles (1 100 km) after confirmation of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system. Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
The UREA, SERVICE and diagnostic warning
lamps comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of the message
"Emissions fault".
The alert is triggered when driving, when
the fault is detected for the first time, then
when switching on the ignition for subsequent
journeys, while the fault persists. In the event of the detection of a fault
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after a self diagnosis test of the SCR
emissions control system. 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), the SERVICE and engine diagnostic
warning lamps come on and the UREA
warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an
audible signal and the temporary display in
the instrument panel of "NO START IN" and
a distance, indicating the remaining range
express in miles or kilometres before engine
starting is prevented - (e.g.: "NO
START IN
350
miles" means "Starting will be prevented in
350 miles").
During an authorised driving phase
(between 650 miles and 0 miles) (1 100 km and 0 km)
While driving, this display appears every
30 seconds while the fault with the SCR system
persists.
The alert is repeated when switching on the
