(only Diesel versions with DPF)
The warning light will flash and a dedicated message

where provided).
The warning light may flash in the following ways,
depending on the version:
❒1 minute every two hours;
❒cycles of 3 minutes with intervals with the warning
light off for 5 seconds until the oil is changed.
After the first indication, at each engine start-up the
warning light will continue flashing as described
above until the oil is changed. On some versions, the
display shows a dedicated message together with
the warning light.
The flashing of the warning light should not be
considered as a fault, it simply informs the customer
that the oil needs to be changed following normal car
use.
