are cleaned from the air.
Replace the air filter periodically as its
ability to clean the air will be reduced as
it collects pollen and dirt.
NOTE Operation in certain conditions
such as driving on a dusty road and
frequent use of the air conditioner can
lead to reduction of service life of the
filter. When you feel that the airflow is
lower than normal or when the

contaminated, or if high cooling
performance is desired, set air selection
lever to the
(recirculation) position and
the temperature control dial all the way to
the right. Switch to the
(outside)
position periodically to increase ventilation
so that the windows do not become
fogged up.
IMPORTANT
2)The system uses a coolant that is
compatible with the laws in force in the
countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a
or R1234yf (indicated on a specific plate in
the engine compartment). The use of other
coolants affects the efficiency and condition

CATALYTIC
CONVERTER
The exhaust gas scavenging devices
used with catalytic converter are
extremely efficient for the reduction of
noxious gases. The catalytic converter
is installed in the exhaust system.
It is important to keep the engine
properly tuned to ensure proper catalyst
operation and prevent possible catalyst
damage.
71)
NOTE Use fuel of the type
recommended in “Fuel selection”.
WARNING
71)As with any vehicle, do not park or
operate this vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass or
leaves can come in contact with a hot
exhaust since a fire could occur.
DIESEL
PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
(where provided)
The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a
device that captures most of the
particulate matter (PM) in the exhaust
emissions of the diesel engine. The DPF
automatically burns away trapped PM
during vehicle operation. Under certain
driving conditions, however, the DPF is
not able to burn away all of the trapped
PM and, as a result, an excessive
amount of PM accumulates inside it.
72)
22)
NOTE To minimize the likelihood of
excessive accumulation of PM, try to
avoid driving for long periods at low
speeds and repeatedly driving short
distances.
NOTE The engine sounds slightly
different from usual while the DPF
automatically burns away trapped PM.
The change in the engine sound does
not indicate a fault.
DPF warning lamp
The DPF warning lamp comes on in the
event of an abnormality in the DPF
system.If the DPF warning lamp comes on
during vehicle operation
Steady illumination of the DPF warning
lamp shows that the DPF has not been
able to burn away all of the trapped PM
and that, as a result, an excessive
amount of PM has accumulated inside
it. To enable the DPF to burn away the
PM, try to drive the vehicle as follows:
With the bar graph of engine coolant
temperature display stabilized in roughly
the middle of the scale, drive for about
20 minutes at a speed of at least
40 km/h.
23) 24)
IMPORTANT You do not have to
continuously drive exactly as indicated
above. Always strive to drive safely in
accordance with road conditions.
127AHA104948
71
If the DPF warning lamp flashes
during vehicle operation
Flashing of the DPF warning lamp
indicates an abnormality in the DPF
system. Have the system inspected by
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
72)The diesel particulate filter (DPF)
reaches high temperatures during normal
operation. Do not park the vehicle on
flammable material (grass, dry leaves, pine
needles etc.): fire hazard.
IMPORTANT
22)Do not use any type of fuel or engine oil
that is not specified for your vehicle. Also,
do not use any moisture-removing agent or
other fuel additive. Such substances could
have a detrimental effect on the DPF. Refer
to “Fuel selection” and “Engine oil”.
23)Vehicle travel speed should always be
adapted to the traffic and weather
conditions, and must always comply with
traffic regulations. The engine can be
stopped even if the DPF symbol is on:
however, repeated interruptions of the
regeneration process could cause
premature deterioration of the engine oil.
For this reason it is always advisable to wait
for the symbol to go off before turning off
the engine, following the instructions
above. Do not complete the DPF
regeneration process when the vehicle is
stopped.24)Continuing to drive with the DPF
warning lamp flashing could result in engine
trouble and DPF damage.
