2014 FIAT 500L LIVING fuel filter

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENTThe following devices are used for reducing petrol
fuel engine emissions: catalytic converter, oxygen
sensors and evaporation control system
Do not let the engine run, even for a test, with one
or more spark plugs disconnected.
The following devices are used for reducing diesel
fuel engine emissions: oxidising catalytic converter,
exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR) and
particulate filter (DPF).
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
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 is needed to eliminate
almost all particulates in compliance with current/
future legislation.
During normal use of the vehicle, the engine control
unit records a set of data (e.g. 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 the carbon particles.The regeneration procedure is controlled
automatically by the engine management control unit
according to the filter conditions and car use
conditions.
During the regeneration there may be a limited
increase in the engine idle speed, fan activation, a
limited increase in fumes and high temperatures at
the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair normal car
performance or damage the environment. If the
dedicated message is displayed, see contents of
"Warning lights and messages" chapter.
WARNING
The catalytic converter and particulate
filter (DPF) reach very high
temperatures during operation.Therefore, do
not park the car on flammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles etc .) to avoid the risk
of fire.

city driving, long periods of idling) or at least every five years in all other cases.
(**) If the car is used mainly for town driving, the engine oil and filter should be changed every 12 months.
(***) The actual interval for changing the oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the car usage conditions and is signalled by
the warning light or message (if present) in the instrument panel and must never exceed 24 months.

PERIODIC CHECKSEvery 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if
necessary, restore the following:
❒engine coolant, brake fluid and windscreen washer
fluid level;
❒tyre inflation pressure and condition;
❒operation of lighting system (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);
❒operation of screen washer/wiper system and
positioning/wear of windscreen/rear window wiper
blades.
Every 3,000 km, check and top up, if required, the
engine oil level.
HEAVY-DUTY USE OF THE CARIf the car is mainly used in one of the following
conditions:
❒towing a trailer or caravan;
❒dusty roads;
❒short, repeated journeys (less than 7-8 km) at
sub-zero outside temperatures;
❒engine often idling or driving long distances at low
speeds or long periods of idleness;
the following checks must be performed more
frequently than prescribed in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
❒visually inspect conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust - fuel
system - brakes) and rubber elements (boots -
sleeves - bushes - etc.);
❒check battery charge and battery fluid level
(electrolyte);
❒visually inspect condition of the accessory drive
belts;
❒check and, if necessary, change engine oil and
replace oil filter;
❒check and, if necessary, replace pollen filter;
❒check and, if necessary, replace air cleaner.
