ESP-ASR SYSTEM
FAILURE/TRACTION PLUS
(amber)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
HILL HOLDER FAILURE (amber)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the key is turned to the MAR-ON position the
warning light comes on but should go out after a few
seconds.
ESP-ASR system failure/TRACTION PLUS
If the warning light does not go off or stays on together
with the LED on the ASR button when travelling,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
On certain versions the dedicated message is displayed.
N.B. The warning light flashing when driving indicates
that the ESP system has been activated.
á
DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER)
CLEANING IN PROGRESS
(amber)
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
When the key is turned to the MAR-ON position the
warning light comes on but should go out after a few
seconds.
The warning light turns on constantly when the DPF
system needs to eliminate the trapped pollutants
through the regeneration process.
The warning light does not come on every time the
DPF is being regenerated, rather only when the driving
conditions are such that the driver needs to know it.
The warning light will go off if the vehicle stays in
motion until regeneration has been completed. As an
average, the process lasts fifteen minutes.
Optimum conditions for completing the process are
achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with engine revs
above 2000 rpm.
If this warning light comes on, it does not mean the
vehicle is defective, so there is no need to take it to
a garage.
For versions/markets where provided, the display
shows the dedicated message and the warning light
comes on.
hAlways drive at a speed appropriate to
the traffic conditions, the weather and
speed limits. The engine can also be switched off
if the DPF warning light is on; nevertheless,
repeated interruptions of the regeneration
process could cause an early decay of engine oil.
For this reason, always wait until the warning
light switches off before stopping the engine as
described above. It is not advisable to complete
DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.
WARNING
During regeneration, the fan could be
operated.

POSSIBLE ICE ON ROAD
This indication starts flashing when the outside
temperature reaches or falls below 3 °C to warn the
driver of the possible presence of ice on the road.
The display will show the dedicated message (only for
versions with a multifunction display).
LIMITED RANGE
The display will show the dedicated message to warn
the driver that the vehicle’s range is less than 50 km.
SPEED LIMIT EXCEEDED
The display shows the dedicated message when the
vehicle exceeds the set speed limit (see “Multifunction
Display” in section “Dashboard and controls”).
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
(for versions/markets where provided)
The display shows the dedicated message next to the
scheduled servicing warning and stays on until the deadline
is reached. The warning light goes off after the service has
been carried out at a Fiat Dealership or after 1000 km
have been covered at the service deadline.
DAYLIGHT FAILURE (with reconfigurable
multifunction display)
The display shows the dedicated message along with the
external light fault icon when a daylight failure is found.
