Cruise control (green)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light comes on when the key is turned to MAR, but should
go out after a few seconds if the Cruise Control function is off.
The warning light comes on when the Cruise Control ring nut is turned
to the ON position (see the “Cruise Control” paragraph in this section).
The display will show the dedicated message.
DPF (diesel particulate filter)
cleaning in progress (only
diesel versions with DPF)
(amber)
Turning the key to the MAR position illuminates the warning light, but it
should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light switches on constantly to indicate that the DPF system
needs to eliminate the trapped pollutants (particulate) through the
regeneration process.
The warning light does not come on during every DPF regeneration,
but only when driving conditions require that the driver is notified.
To switch the warning light off, the car must be kept moving until the
regeneration process is completed.
On average, the process lasts fifteen minutes. Optimal conditions for
completing the process are achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with
engine revs above 2000 rpm.
When this warning light switches on, it does not indicate a car failure
and thus it should not be taken to a workshop.On some versions, together with the warning light, the display shows a
dedicated message.
The driving speed must always be suitable for traffic
and weather conditions and the driver must always
comply with the Highway Code. The engine can be
stopped even if the DPF warning light is on: however, repeated
interruptions of the regeneration process could cause premature
deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason, always wait until
the warning light switches off before stopping the engine as
described above. It is not advisable to complete DPF regeneration
with the car stationary.
Speed limit exceeded (red)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light (for versions/markets, where provided) comes on
when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h.
When the car exceeds the speed limit set in the Set-up Menu (e.g. 120
km/h), on some versions a message and a symbol are shown in the
display and an acoustic signal is activated.
