Service overdue

For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on,

A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains on.

For BlueHDi Diesel versions, this alert is also
accompanied by the fixed illumination of the
Service warning lamp when the ignition is
switched 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.

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.

Remaining range between 350 and 1500 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 - (For example "NO
START IN 900 miles" means that "Starting will
be prevented in 900 miles).
When driving, this display appears every
150 miles (300 km) until the additive tank has
been topped-up.
Go to a dealer CITROËN or a qualified
workshop to have the AdBlue

tank topped-up.

You can also top-up the tank yourself.
For more information on topping-up the
AdBlue

additive, refer to the corresponding

section.

The engine start prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue

tank is

empty.

Breakdown related to a lack of AdBlue

additive

tank is empty: the system required

by regulations prevents engine starting.

Remaining range between 0 and 350 miles (0 and 600 km)

When switching on the ignition, the SERVICE
warning lamp comes 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
expressed in miles or kilometres before engine
starting is prevented - (For example "NO
START IN 180 miles" means "Starting will be
prevented in 180 miles).
When driving, this display appears every
30 seconds until the additive tank has been
topped-up.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the AdBlue

tank topped-up.

You can also top-up the tank yourself.
Otherwise you will not be able to restart your
engine.
For more information on topping-up the
AdBlue

additive, refer to the corresponding

section.

To be able to start the engine,
we recommend that you call on
a CITROËN 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 additive tank.

For more information on topping-up
the AdBlue

additive, refer to the

corresponding section.

In the event of a fault with the the SCR emissions control system

In the event of the detection of a fault

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.

During an authorised driving phase
(between 650 miles 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), 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").

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.

If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after a self diagnosis test of the SCR
emissions control system.

While driving, this display appears every
30 seconds while the fault with the SCR system
persists.
The alert is repeated when switching on the
ignition.
You should go to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Otherwise, you will not be able to restart your
engine.

("NO START IN 0 miles" means "Starting
prevented").

To be able to start the engine, you must call on
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

You have exceeded the authorised
driving limit: the starting prevention
system inhibits engine starting.
