WARNING
2. Engine oil degraded (only Multijet versions with DPF)
The warning light will flash and a specific message will ap-
pear on the display (for versions/markets where provid-
ed). The warning light may flash in the following ways, de-
pending on the version:
– for one minute every two hours;
– for three minute cycles with the warning light off for
intervals of five seconds until oil is changed.
After the initial warning, each time the engine is started
up, the warning light will continue to flash in the same ways
as described above, until the oil is changed. A specific mes-
sage will appear on the display (for versions/markets where
provided) in addition to the warning light.
If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the ve-
hicle is defective, but simply informs the driver that it is
now necessary to change the oil as a result of regular ve-
hicle use.
Note that engine oil degrades faster under the following
circumstances:
– mainly town use of the vehicle which makes the DPF re-
generation process more frequent
– use of the vehicle for short journies, preventing the en-
gine from reaching operating temperature
– repeated interruption of the regeneration process, sig-
nalled by the DPF warning light coming on.
