CLEANING DPF
(PARTICULATE
FILTER) IN PROGRESS
(only Multijet versions
with DPF - amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR
(ON), the warning light switches on but it
must switch off after a few seconds. The
warning light comes on constantly to no-
tify the driver that the DPF system needs
to eliminate captured pollutants (particu-
late) by the regeneration process. The
warning light does not come on during
every DPF regeneration, but only when
driving conditions require notification of
the driver. To switch the warning light off,
the car must stay in motion until regen-
eration has been completed. The process
normally takes about 15 minutes. The op-
timum conditions to end the process are
achieved by keeping the car in motion up
to 60km/h with an engine speed higher
than 2,000 rpm. This light coming on is not
a car defect and therefore the car does
not need to go to the workshop. A spe-
cific message will appear on the display
when the warning light comes on (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided).

SIDE/TAILLIGHTS
AND LOW BEAMS

Side/tail lights and low beams
The warning light comes on when side/tail
lights or low beams are turned on.
Follow me home
The warning light will turn when this de-
vice is active (see “Follow me home” in
section “Dashboard and controls”).
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.

FOG LIGHTS (green)
The warning light comes on
when the fog lights are on.
5
LEFT-HAND
DIRECTION
INDICATOR
(green - blinking)
The warning light turns on when the di-
rection indicator control lever is moved
downwards or, together with the right in-
dicator, when the hazard light button is
pressed.
F
Always drive at a speed ap-
propriate to the traffic con-
ditions, the weather and speed limits.
The engine may be turned off while
the DPF light is on; however, repea-
ted interruption of the regeneration
process may result in premature
exhaustion of engine oil. For this rea-
son it is always advisable to wait for
the light to go off before turning off
the engine, following the instructions
appearing above. It is not advisable
to complete DPF regeneration with
the vehicle stationary.

WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a bulb is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before replacing it: refer to the “If a
fuse blows” paragraph in this chapter
for fuse location.
❒before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation;
❒Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-
ers of the same type and power.
❒Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb. Versions with alloy rims
❒Check that the hub contact surfaces
are clean;
❒fit the normal wheel centring it on the
pins, lead in the fastening screws and
tighten them using the wrench pro-
vided;
❒lower the car and remove the jack;
❒using the wrench provided, fully tight-
en the bolts in the sequence shown
in fig. 16.
❒snap fit the wheel cup on the hub.
When you have finished
❒stow the spare wheel C-fig. 11 in the
space provided in the boot;
❒Fit the jack partially open in its box B-
fig. 11forcing it lightly to prevent it
from vibrating when travelling;
❒put the tools back into their places in
the container;
❒arrange the container and tools in the
spare wheel and secure the fastening
device A-fig. 11;
❒rearrange the preformed boot cover
correctly.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (elec-
tronic control units) that are not car-
ried out properly or do not take the
technical specifications of the system
into account can cause malfunctions
leading to the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which may cause
small fragments of glass to be pro-
jected outwards if the bulb is broken.
WARNING
Halogen lamps must be han-
dled holding the metallic part
only. Touching the transpar-
ent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even compromise du-
ration of the lamp itself. In the case of
accidental contact, rub the lamp with
a cloth and spirit and leave to dry.IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after hard rain or after wash-
ing, the area of headlamps or rear lights,
may steam up and/or form drops of con-
densation on the inside. This is a natural
phenomenon due to the difference in tem-
perature and humidity between the inside
and the outside of the glass which does
not indicate a fault and does not compro-
mise the normal operation of lighting de-
vices. The mist disappears quickly turn-
ing the lights on, starting from the centre
of the diffuser, extending progressively to-
wards the edges.
