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,

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.

considerable intensity. Furthermore, battery
fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact
with your skin and eyes. Keep naked flames
away from the battery. No smoking. Do not
cause sparks.
