AdBlue® range indicators  
(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.  
Actions required related to a lack  
of AdBlue®  
The following warning lamps light up when the  
quantity of AdBlue® is lower than the reserve  
level corresponding to a range of 1,500 miles  
(2,400 km).  
Together with the warning lamps, messages  
regularly remind you of the need to top up to  
avoid engine starting being prevented. Refer to  
the Warning and indicator lamps section for  
details of the messages displayed.  
To be able  
0 miles (0 km)  
to restart the  
engine, add at  
least 5 litres of  
AdBlue® to its  
tank.  
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.  
For more information on AdBlue®  
(BlueHDi engines), and in particular on  
topping up, refer to the corresponding
