DIESEL PARTIC ULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for vers ions/markets where provided)
The Dies el Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, in-
tegral with the exhaus t system, that physically traps car-
bon particles present in the exhaus t gases of dies el en-
gines . The dies el particulate filter has been adopted to
eliminate almos t all carbon particle s in compliance with
current / future legal regulation s. During normal us e of
the vehicle, the engine control unit record s a s et of data
(e.g.: travel time, ty pe of route, temperature s, etc.) and
it will then calculate how much particulate ha s been
trapped by the filter. S
ince this filter physically traps particulate, it s hould be
regenerated (cleaned) at regular interval s b y burning car-
bon particles . The regeneration procedure is controlled au-
tomatically by the engine management control unit ac-
cording to the filter condition s and vehicle u se condition s.
During r
egeneration, the following may occur: a limited
increas e in the engine s peed, activation of the fan, a lim-
ited increas e in fumes and high temperatures at the ex-
haus t. Thes e are not faults ; they do not impair vehicle per-
formance nor damage the environment. If the dedicated
message is display ed, refer to the “Ins trument panel warn-
ing light s” paragraph in thi s chapter.

(1) The actual interval for changing the oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the vehicle usage conditions a\
nd is signalled by the warning light or message
in the instrument panel. Anyway, it must never exceed 2 years.
If the car is mainly used in towns and cities, change the engine oil and\
filter every year.
(2) Areas that are not dusty: advised maximum mileage 120,000 km. Regardless of the mileage, the belt must be replaced every 6 y ears.
Dusty areas and/or demanding use of the car (cold climates, town use, long peri\
ods of idling): advised maximum mileage 60,000 k m. Regardless of the mileage,
the belt must be replaced every 4 years.
(3) If the car runs on fuel with quality below the relevant European specification, this filter must be replaced every 20,000 km
(4) If the car is used in dusty areas, this cleaner must be replaced every 20,000 km.

Prevent brake fluid which is highly corrosive
from coming into contact with painted parts.
Should this occur, immediately wash with
water.
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly corro-
sive. In the event of accidental contact, im-
mediately wash the affected parts with wa-
ter and mild soap. Then rinse thoroughly. In case of
swallowing immediately call a doctor.
The πsymbol, on the container, indicates a
synthetic brake fluid, which is different from
a mineral fluid. Use of a mineral type fluid
will damage the special rubber seals of the braking
system beyond repair.
