DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter,
integral with the exhaust system, that physically traps
particulates 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
management control unit records a set of data (travel
time, type of route, temperatures, etc.) and it will
then calculate how much particulate has been trapped
by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulate, it should be
regenerated (cleaned) at regular intervals by burning
carbon particles.
The regeneration procedure is controlled automatically
by the engine management control unit according to the
filter 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 the
“Warning lights and messages” section.PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The following devices are used for reducing diesel fuel
engine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF).
The diesel particulate filter (DPF)
reaches high temperatures during
operation. Therefore do not therefore park the
vehicle on inflammable materials (grass, dry
leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire hazard.
WARNING
The catalytic converter also reaches
high temperatures during normal
operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry
leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material: fire hazard.
WARNING

S.B.R. SYSTEM
The vehicle is fitted with a Seat Belt Reminder system
(S.B.R.), consisting of a buzzer and a flashing warning
light
that the seat belt must be fastened.
The buzzer can be deactivated (until the next engine
stop) as follows:
❒fasten the driver’s seat belt;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR-ON;
❒wait for over 20 seconds and then release one of the
seat belts.
For permanent deactivation, contact the Fiat Dealership.
With digital display, the S.B.R. system can only be reset
at Fiat Dealership.
With multifunction display, the S.B.R. system can also be
reset through the set-up menu.

SIDE BAGS
The vehicle is fitted with front side bags for driver and
passenger (for versions/markets where provided) for
protecting the chest and window bags (for versions/
markets where provided) for protecting front and rear
passengers’ heads.
Side bags (for versions/markets where provided) protect
occupants from side impacts of medium-high severity, by
placing the bag between the occupant and the internal
parts of the side structure of the vehicle. Non-activation
of side bags in other types of collisions (head-on
collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc...) is not an
indication of system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bags to inflate
in the event of a side impact. The bags inflate
instantaneously placing themselves between the
occupants’ bodies and the structures which could cause
injury. They deflate immediately afterwards.
Side bags (for versions/markets where provided) are not
a replacement of but complementary to the belts, which
you are recommended to always wear, as specified by
law in Europe and most non-European countries.
FRONT SIDE BAGS – CHEST AND PELVIS
ZONE fig. 152 (for versions/markets where provided)
Housed in the seats’ backrests, they consist of an
instantly-inflating bag designed to protect the occupants’
chest and pelvis zone in the event of a side impact of
medium-high severity. MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF PASSENGER’S
FRONT AIR BAG AND SIDE BAG CHEST
PROTECTION
(for versions/markets where provided)
Whenever a child needs to be carried on the front seat,
the passenger’s front airbag and the Side Bag chest
protection (for versions/markets where provided) must
be deactivated.
The instrument panel warning light
Fwill switch on
constantly until the passenger’s front air bag and Side
Bag (chest protection) are reactivated (for versions/
markets where provided).
To deactivate the passenger’s front air
bag and the side bag (chest protection)
(for versions/markets where provided), refer to
paragraphs “Digital display” and “Multifunction
display” in section “Dashboard and controls”.

GENERAL WARNINGS If you are having the vehicle scrapped, have the system
deactivated at a Fiat Dealership first. If the vehicle
changes ownership, the new owner must be informed of
how to use the air bags and the above warnings and also
be given this “Owner Handbook”.
IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front airbags and front side
bags are deployed according to different logics on the
basic of the type of collision. Non-deployment of one of
the devices does not necessarily indicate a system
malfunction.
Never rest head, arms or elbows on the
door, on the windows or in the window
bag deployment area to prevent possible
injuries during the inflation phase.
WARNING
Never lean head, arms or elbows out of
window.
WARNING
If when turning the key to MAR-ON the
warning light
¬does not turn on or if it
stays on when travelling (together with the
message on the multifunction display,
for
versions/markets, where provided
) there could be
a failure in the safety systems; in this event air
bags or pretensioners may fail to trigger in the
event of impact or, in a lower number of cases,
they could trigger accidentally. Contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked before driving off.
WARNING
Do not cover the front and rear seat
backrest with upholstery or seat covers
that hinder deployment of the side bag.
WARNING

2. Exhausted engine oil
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
The warning light vblinks along with a message on
the display (for versions/markets, where provided)
when the system detects that engine oil pressure is low.
If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the
vehicle is defective, but simply informs the driver that
the oil needs to be changed as a result of regular
vehicle use. If the oil is not changed, warning light will
also come on and engine operation is limited to 3000
rpm when a second threshold is reached.
If the oil is not changed, the engine is limited to 1500
rpm to prevent damage when a third threshold is
reached.
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil is
accelerated by:
– mainly town use of the vehicle which makes the DPF
regeneration process more frequent;
– use of the vehicle for short trips, preventing the
engine from reaching operating temperature;
– repeated interruption of the regeneration process,
signalled by the DPF warning light coming on. LOW BATTERY CHARGE (red)
The warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR-ON, but it should go
out as soon as the engine has started (with the
engine running at idle speed a brief delay before going
out is acceptable).
If the warning light stays on constantly or keeps flashing:
contact immediately Fiat Dealership.
