WARNING
46)For connection to the existing devices
supplied in the vehicle contact a Fiat
Dealership to prevent any problems that
could impair vehicle safety.
PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The following devices are used for
reducing petrol fuel engine emissions:
three-way catalytic converter
(catalytic converter);
oxygen sensors;
evaporation control system.
In addition, 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);
particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/
markets, where provided).
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a
mechanical filter, integral with the
exhaust system, that physically traps
carbon particles present in the exhaust
gases of diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter has been
adopted to eliminate almost all carbon
particles in compliance with current /
future legal regulations.
111F0V0508

Page 70 of 298
During normal use of the vehicle, the
Powertrain Control Module records
a set of data (travel time, type of route,
temperatures reached etc.) and
calculates 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
carbon particles. The regeneration
procedure is controlled automatically by
the Powertrain Control Module
according to the filter conditions and
vehicle usage conditions.
During regeneration, the following may
occur: a limited increase in the engine
speed, activation of the fan, a limited
increase in fumes and high
temperatures at the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair
vehicle performance or damage the
environment.
If the dedicated message is displayed,
refer to paragraph "Warning lights
and messages".
