Warning and indicator lamps

Visual indicators which inform the driver of the occurrence of a malfunction (warning lamp) or of the

operation of a system (operation or deactivation indicator lamp).

If your vehicle has a screen, a warning

lamp coming on is always accompanied

by the display of an additional message,

to assist you in identifying the problem.

If you encounter any problems, do not

hesitate to contact a CITROËN dealer

or a qualified workshop.

Associated warnings

Certain warning lamps come on for a few

seconds when the ignition is switched on.

When the engine is started, these warning

lamps should go off.

The illumination, fixed or flashing, of certain

warning lamps may be accompanied by an

audible signal and the display of a message.

If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the

information on the warning lamp in question.

Oil level incorrect

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

information.

This is indicated by the flashing of "OIL" or the

display of a message, accompanied by the

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 oil level,

refer to the corresponding section.

The level read will only be correct if

the vehicle is on level ground and the

which depends on the driving conditions

in which the vehicle is used.

For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on,

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

distance that can be covered, the range, before

engine starting is prevented.

Remaining range between 350 and 1500 miles (600 and 2 400 km)

The engine start prevention system

required by regulations is activated

automatically once the AdBlue^®tank is

empty.

In the event of simultaneous system fault and

low AdBlue^®level, the shortest range figure is

the one displayed.

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).

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.

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 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.

When switching on the ignition, the SERVICE

warning lamp comes on and the UREA

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.

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").

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.

If it is a temporary fault, the alert

disappears during the next journey,

after a self diagnosis test of the SCR

emissions control system.

(kilometres) travelled).

Calculated since the last trip computer reset.

Calculated over the last few seconds.

This function is only displayed from

(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)

Calculated since the last trip computer reset.

When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km),

dashes are displayed. After filling with at least

5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is

displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).

Stop & Start time counter

The fuel consumption of your vehicle

will be higher than the official figures

obtained by CITROËN during the first

1 800 miles (3 000 km) of the vehicle's

life.

If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start,

a time counter calculates the time spent in

STOP mode during a journey.

It resets to zero every time the ignition is

switched on.

If dashes are displayed continuously
