Malfunction of the SCR emissions control
system
Malfunction detection


If a malfunction is detected,
these warning lamps come on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of an
"Emissions control fault"
message.
The alert is triggered while driving when the fault
is detected for the first time, and thereafter when
switching on the ignition for subsequent journeys,
for as long as the cause of the fault persists.
If the fault is temporary, the alert
disappears during the next journey, after
self-diagnostic checks of the SCR emissions
control system.
Malfunction confirmed during the permitted
driving phase (between 685 miles and 0 miles
(1,100 km and 0 km))
If the fault indication is still displayed
permanently after 31 miles (50 km) of driving, the
fault in the SCR system is confirmed.
The AdBlue warning lamp flashes and a message
is displayed ("Emissions control fault: starting
prevented in X miles (kms)"), indicating the
driving range in miles or kilometres.
While driving, the message is displayed every 30
seconds. The alert is repeated when switching on
the ignition.
You can continue driving for up to 685 miles
(1,100 km) before the engine starting prevention
system is triggered.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Starting prevented
Every time the ignition is switched on, the
message "Emissions control fault: Starting
prevented" is displayed.
To restart the engine
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.

Safety05
At a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h), these
warning lamps flash, accompanied by an audible
signal for approximately two minutes. After this
time, these warning lamps remain on as long as
the seatbelts are not refastened.
Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they
are all fastened before setting off.
Wherever seated in the vehicle, you must
always fasten the seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles, as they will
not fulfil their role properly.
To ensure the proper functioning of the belt
buckles, make sure that there are no foreign
bodies present (e.g. a coin) before fastening.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt
is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.
Installation
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible over the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
At the front, adjusting the position of the
seat belt may require the seat height to be
adjusted.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
– be tigh tened as close to the body as
possible.
–

be pulled in fron
t of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it is not twisted.
–

must only be used t
o secure one person.
–

no
t show signs of tearing or fraying.
–

no
t be changed or modified, in order to avoid
affecting its performance.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger
is less than 12 years old or shorter than 1.5
metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one child.
Never carry a child on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.
Maintenance
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all work on your vehicle's seat
belts, contact a qualified workshop with the
skills and equipment needed, which a dealer is
able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a
dealer or a qualified workshop, particularly if
the straps show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or
a textile cleaning product, sold by dealers.
Airbags
General information
This system is designed to improve the safety
of the occupants of the front seats and the rear
outer seats in the event of a violent collision. The
airbags supplement the action of the seat belts
equipped with a force limiting system.
Electronic detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts sustained in the impact
detection zones:
–

In the e
vent of violent impact, the airbags
deploy instantly and help better protect the
occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the
impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not
to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the
occupants.
–

In the e
vent of a slight impact, a rear impact
and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags
may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to protect
you in these situations.
The seriousness of the impact depends on the
nature of the obstacle and the speed of the
vehicle at the moment of collision.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or a
subsequent accident), the airbag will not be
deployed again.

by a message and an audible signal, to
confirm the malfunction.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Lane positioning assist
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids.


The system identifies the edges of the traffic lane
and steers the vehicle to keep it inside this lane
and maintain the lateral position chosen by the
driver.
To do this, the system uses a camera placed on
the upper part of the windscreen.
This system is particularly suited to driving on
motorways and main roads.
Operating conditions

Driving06
It is possible that collision warnings are
not given, are given too late or seem
unjustified.
The driver must always stay in control of the
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time to
avoid an accident.
If you select "Far" in the touch screen,
then the system warns sooner. This
increases the safety but increases also the
amount of alerts, if the legal safety distance is
not kept.
To reduce the alert occurrence, you can change
the setting to either of the other two.
Intelligent emergency braking
assistance (iEBA)
This function increases vehicle deceleration if the
driver does not brake enough to avoid a collision.
This assistance is only provided if the driver
presses the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake

This function, also called "automatic emergency
braking", intervenes after the acoustic alert if the
driver does not operate the brake pedal quickly
enough.
The system aims at reducing the speed of impact
or avoiding a collision if the driver fails to react.
The speed will be reduced by a maximum
of 16 mph (25 km/h) (versions with
camera only) or by a maximum of 31 mph
(50 km/h) (versions with camera and radar).
Operation
The system operates subject to the following
conditions:
– At reduced speed in an urban environment,
when a stationary vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist is
detected.
–

The v
ehicle's speed is between 6 mph and
53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with
camera only) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle is
detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for
approximately 10 seconds) as soon as the
function applies the vehicle’s brakes.
During the flashing time, the function is not
available.
In the event of automatic emergency braking,
keep the brake pedal depressed, also after a
complete stop is reached, to prevent the vehicle
from rolling away.
The driver can override the automatic
emergency braking at any time by firmly
turning the steering wheel and/or firmly
depressing the accelerator pedal.
The brake pedal may feel hard and vibrate
slightly while the function is operating.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2
seconds.
