AdBlue

range indicators

These range indicators are present only on
BlueHDi Diesel versions.
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.

In the event of the risk of non-
starting related to a lack of
AdBlue

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

tank is

empty.

In the event of a fault with the electric
indicator, the oil level is no longer
