(BlueHDi)

The Diesel BlueHDi engines are equipped with 

a system that associates the SCR (Selective 

Catalytic Reduction) emissions control system 

and the Diesel particle filter (DPF) for the 

treatment of exhaust gases. They cannot 

function without AdBlue

®

 fluid.

The engine starting prevention system 

required by regulations is activated 

automatically once the AdBlue

®

 tank is empty. 

It is then no longer possible to start the 

engine until the minimum level of AdBlue

®

 has 

been topped up.

" 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 ("

reset it.

The remote control does not work when the 

key is in the ignition switch, even when the 

ignition is switched off.

Anti-theft protection

Do not modify the electronic vehicle 

immobiliser, as this might result in 

malfunctions.

For vehicles with a key ignition switch, 

remember to remove the key and turn the 

steering wheel to engage the steering lock.

Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked could make 

it more difficult for the emergency services 

to enter the passenger compartment in an 

emergency.

As a safety precaution, remove the key from 

the ignition or take the electronic key with you 

when leaving the vehicle, even for a short 

time.

Purchasing a second-hand vehicle

doors with the electronic key close to the 

passenger door, or press the tailgate opening 

control with the electronic key close to the rear of

(at the markings) or the locking control on the 

tailgate.

It is not possible to lock the vehicle if one of the 

electronic keys is left inside the vehicle.

Closing the windows and sunroof

Maintaining pressure on the door handle or 

the tailgate control allows the windows and, 

depending on version, the sunroof to be closed 

to the desired position.

This operation also closes the sunroof blind.

Make sure that no item or person could 

prevent the correct closing of the 

windows and sunroof.

Pay particular attention to children when 

operating windows.

The locking, and the activation of the alarm 

depending on version, is confirmed by the 

temporary lighting of the direction indicators.

Depending on version, the door mirrors fold.

Accumulations (water, dust, grime, salt, 

etc.) on the inner surface of the door 

handle may affect detection.

If cleaning the inner surface of the door 

handle using a cloth does not restore 

detection, contact a CITROËN dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

A sudden splash of water (stream of water, 

high pressure jet washer, etc.) may be 

identified by the system as the desire to open 

the vehicle.

Deadlocking renders the interior door 

controls inoperative. It also disables the 

central locking button.

The horn remains operational.

Never leave anyone inside the vehicle when it 

is deadlocked.

►  Press the handle on one of the front doors 

(at the markings) or the locking control on the 

tailgate to lock the vehicle.

Advice

If one of the doors or the boot is still open 

or if the electronic key for the Keyless 

Entry and Start  system has been left inside 

the vehicle, central locking will not take place.

However, if the vehicle is fitted with an alarm, 

it will be activated after 45 seconds.

If the vehicle is unlocked but the doors or 

boot are not subsequently opened, the 

vehicle will automatically lock itself again after 

about 30 seconds. If the vehicle is fitted with 

an alarm, it will be reactivated automatically.

The automatic door mirror folding/

unfolding function is configured via the 

touch screen's 

Driving

/

Vehicle

 menu.

As a safety measure, never leave the 

vehicle, even for a short time, without 

taking the Keyless Entry and Start system’s 

electronic key with you.

Be aware of the risk of theft of the vehicle if 

the key is present in one of the defined areas 

while the vehicle is unlocked.

To preserve the battery charge in the 

electronic key and the vehicle's battery, 

the "hands-free" functions are set to 

hibernation mode after 21 days without use. 

To restore these functions, press one of the 

remote control buttons or start the engine with 

the electronic key against the back-up reader.

For more information on starting with the 

Keyless Entry and Start system, refer to the 

corresponding section.
