pre-heating fixed.
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.

System that informs the driver when the
next service is due, in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule.
The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last service indicator zero
reset, according to the distance covered and
the time elapsed since the last service.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the level of
deterioration of the engine oil may also be
taken into account, depending on the country
of sale.
Service indicator
Between 600 miles (1 000 km)
and 1800 miles (3 000 km) remain
before the next service is due
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner symbolising the service
operations comes on. The distance recorder
display line or a specific message in the
instrument panel central screen indicates the
distance remaining before the next service is due.
For example: 1 700 miles (2 800 km) remain
before the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched

operation. The spanner remains on .The spanner comes on if you have
exceeded the specified time interval
since the last service, as indicated in
the manufacturer's service schedule.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions,
the
spanner may also come on before
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 spanner flashes to indicate that the service
must be carried out as soon as possible.
Example: the service is overdue by 180 miles
(300 km).
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the screen indicates:
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km) remain
before the next service is due
Example: 560 miles (900 km) remain before
the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the screen indicates:
A few seconds after the ignition is switched

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
in the instrument panel.
With the type 2 instrument panel,
pressing this button temporarily
displays the driving range.
Above 3 000 miles (5 000 km), the value is not
specified.
Type 1 instrument panel
Remaining range between 350 and 1 500 miles (600 and 2 400 km)
When switching on the ignition, the UREA
warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and the temporary display in
the instrument panel of "NO START IN" and
a distance, indicating the remaining range
expressed in miles or kilometres before
engine starting is prevented (e.g. "NO START
IN 900
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
soon as possible.
It is recommended that no more than 10 litres
of AdBlue
® are added.
