amberDPF (PARTICULATE FILTER) CLEANING
UNDERWAY
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the key is turned to MAR-ON, the warning
light switches on but should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light switches on constantly to
inform the driver that the DPF system needs to
eliminate the trapped pollutants (particulate)
through the regeneration process.
A dedicated message will appear on the display
when the warning light switches on (for versions/
markets, where provided).The warning light does not come on during every
DPF regeneration, but only when driving
conditions require that the driver is notified. The
warning light will switch off if the vehicle remains
in motion until regeneration has been completed.
On average, the process lasts 15 minutes.
The best conditions to complete the regeneration
process are reached by driving the vehicle
constantly at 60 km/h with engine speed above
2000 rpm. When this warning light comes on, it
does not indicate a vehicle failure and it should
not therefore be taken to a workshop.

amberDRIVING ADVISOR
The two warning lights on indicate that the system has started
recognising the operating conditions.
When the system recognises the operating conditions, it becomes active,
i.e. it can assist the driver with visual and acoustic warnings. Therefore,
the warning lights switch off.
IMPORTANT If the operating conditions are no longer present, the
system is engaged but inactive, and therefore the two warning lights on
the panel switch on.
When the system is active, if the vehicle gets close to one of the side limit
lines or one of the two demarcation lines of the lane, the driver is warned
with an acoustic signal along with the direction warning light (right or left)
on the panel lighting up.
The system failure is indicated by the two direction warning lights
and
lighting up on the panel, along with an acoustic signal and a dedicated
message.
