When driving, this message is displayed every
30 seconds until the AdBlue level has been
topped up.
Go to a member of the dealer network or a
qualified workshop to have the AdBlue
® topped
up.
You can also top up the tank yourself.
Other wise you will not be able to restart the
vehicle.
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 4 litres of AdBlue
®
to the tank.
For more information on the AdBlue
® (BlueHDi
engines) , and in particular on topping up, refer
to the corresponding section.
When switching on the ignition, this warning
lamp flashes and the Service warning lamp

Have the system checked by the dealer
network or a qualified workshop as soon
as possible.
In the event of the detection of a fault
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after self-diagnostic checks of the SCR
emissions control system.
These warning lamps come on, accompanied
by an audible signal and the display of the
message "Emissions control 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.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams,...).
The engine restarts automatically – START
mode – as soon as you want to move off.
The restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The " ECO" warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h) or when the vehicle is
stationary with the PureTech 130 petrol and
BlueHDi 115 and 120 Diesel versions, when
you place the gear lever in neutral and you
release the clutch pedal,
-

W
ith an automatic gearbox , when the
vehicle is stationary and when you press
the brake pedal or put the gear selector in
position N . If your vehicle is fitted with this
system, a time counter calculates
the time spent in STOP mode
during a journey. It resets to
zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key or the
"START/STOP" button.
STOP mode does not affect the operation
of vehicle systems such as braking, power
steering...
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition with
the key or the "START/STOP" button.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not activated when:
- t he vehicle is on a steep slope (uphill or
downhill),

Malfunction
In the event of a system fault when
engaging reverse gear, this warning
lamp is displayed in the instrument
panel and/or a message appears
in the screen, accompanied by an
audible signal (short beep).
Contact the dealer network or a
qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal (long beep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking sensor
system.
Reversing camera
This system is a driving aid that does not
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver, who must remain in control of
the vehicle at all times. The green lines represent distances of about
1
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your
vehicle's rear bumper.
The red line represent a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The lines displayed in the screen do not
allow the position of the vehicle to be
determined relative to tall obstacles (for
example: vehicles nearby).
Some deformation of the image is normal.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, keep the
end of the high pressure lance at least
12 inches (30 cm) away from the camera
lens.
Clean the camera lens regularly using a
soft cloth.
The reversing camera function may be
supplemented with parking sensors.
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The colour visual feedback is done on the
touch screen. The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle.
The blue cur ved lines represent the maximum
turning circle.

Manual parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
This system must be checked in the dealer
network or by a qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked in the dealer network or by
a qualified workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake , refer to the corresponding
section.
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 associates
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.
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.

Practical information

184
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 around 12,500 miles
(20,000

km), it will be necessary to top up the
AdBlue
®. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system
r
equired 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
lamps and the associated alerts, refer to
the corresponding section.
The AdBlue® is contained in a special tank
with 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).
Freezing of the AdBlue
®
AdBlue® 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
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.
