IMPORTANT After the battery is disconnected, the

DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER)
CLEANING IN PROGRESS
(only diesel versions with DPF) (amber)
This warning light switches on when the ignition key
is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a
few seconds. The warning light (together with a
message and a symbol on the display on some
versions) switches on constantly to notify the driver
that the DPF system needs to eliminate captured
pollutants (particulate) through the regeneration
process.
The warning light does not switch on during every
DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions
require that the driver is notified. To switch the
warning light off, the car must be kept in motion
until the regeneration process is completed.
On average, the process lasts fifteen minutes.
Optimal conditions for completing the process are
achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with engine revs
above 2000 rpm.
If this light switches on, it does not mean that the
car is defective, so there is no need to take it to
a garage. A specific message will appear on thedisplay when the warning light comes on (for
versions/markets, where provided).
WARNING
The driving speed must always be
suitable for traffic and weather
conditions and the driver must always comply
with the Highway Code.The engine can be
stopped even if the DPF warning light is on;
however, repeated interruptions of the
regeneration process could cause premature
deterioration of the 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 car stationar y.GENERIC FAILURE INDICATION

Avoid parking under trees as much as possible; the
resin from trees dulls the paintwork and increases
the possibility of corrosion.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain
is particularly aggressive.
Detergents pollute the environment . Only
wash your car in areas equipped to collect
and treat wastewater from this type of
activity.In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the car.

petrol) or ketones (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the
plastic lenses of the front headlights.Engine compartment
At the end of every winter, wash the engine
compartment thoroughly, taking care not to aim the
