DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for 1.3 Multijet 75 HP versions)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, inte-
gral with the exhaust system, that physically traps partic-
ulates present in the exhaust gases of diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter has been adopted to eliminate
almost all particulates in compliance with current/future
legal regulations.
During normal use of the vehicle, the engine control unit
records a set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route, tem-
peratures, etc.) and it will then calculate how much par-
ticulates has been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulate, it should be re-
generated (cleaned) at regular intervals by burning carbon
particles.
The regeneration procedure is controlled automatically by
the engine management control unit according to the fil-
ter conditions and vehicle use conditions.
There may be a limited increase in the engine idle speed
during the regeneration, a limited increase in fumes and
high temperatures at the exhaust. These are not faults;
they do not impair vehicle performance or damage the
environment.
If the dedicated message is displayed, refer to paragraph
“Warning lights and messages”.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENTThe following devices are used for reducing petrol fuel
engine emissions:❒
three-way catalytic converter;
❒
oxygen sensors;
❒
evaporation control system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with
one or more spark plugs disconnected.
The following devices are used for reducing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions:
❒
oxidising catalytic converter;
❒
exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.);
❒
diesel particulate filter (DPF).
The catalytic converter develops high tem-
perature during operation. Do not park
the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or oth-
er flammable material: fire hazard.

Car maintenance should be charged to
a Fiat Dealership. For routine and minor
maintenance operations you wish to carry
out yourself, always make sure you have the prop-
er equipment, genuine Fiat spare parts and the nec-
essary fluids; do not however carry out these
operations if you have no experience.
IMPORTANT – Battery
Check the battery charge once a year, preferably before
at the beginning of winter to limit the risk of electrolyte
freezing.
This check should be carried out more frequently if the
car is used mainly for short journeys, or if it is fitted with
accessories that permanently absorb electricity even with
the ignition key removed, especially in the case of after-
market accessories. If the car is used in hot climates or
particularly harsh conditions it is advisable to check the
level of the battery fluid (electrolyte) more frequently than
specified in the “Scheduled Servicing Programme”.
❒
frequently idling engine or long distance low speed dri-
ving (e.g. taxis or door-to-door deliveries) or in case
of a long term inactivity;
change engine oil more frequently than required on the
“Scheduled Servicing Programme”.
IMPORTANT – Diesel filter
The possibility of topping-up with diesel fuel not comply-
ing with EN 590 European Standard might make it neces-
sary to replace the filter more frequently than indicated in
the “Scheduled Servicing Programme”.
IMPORTANT – Air filter
When the car is used on dusty roads, change the air fil-
ter more frequently than shown on the “Scheduled Ser-
vicing Programme”. If in doubt as to how often the en-
gine oil and air filter should be changed according to how
you use the car, contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT – Pollen filter
It is advisable to replace the filtering element more fre-
quently if the car is used in dusty or very polluted places.
Specifically, replace if a lower air flow into the passen-
ger’s compartment is found.

mediately wash the affected parts with water
and neutral soap. Then rinse thoroughly. Call a
doctor immediately if swallowed.
