Symbol What it means
AUTOMATIC MAIN BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILURE
The symbol switches on to report a failure of the automatic main beam headlights. Contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.WATER IN DIESEL FILTER (diesel versions)
The symbol switches on constantly when driving (along with a message in the display), to indicate the
presence of water in the diesel filter.
18)
DPF CLEANING (particulate trap) in progress (diesel versions with DPF only)
The symbol switches on constantly to indicate that the DPF system needs to eliminate the trapped
pollutants (particulate) through the regeneration process.
The symbol does not switch on during every DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions require
that the driver is notified. To turn off the symbol, keep the vehicle in motion until the regeneration process is
over. On average, the process lasts 15 minutes. Optimal conditions for completing the process are
achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with engine speed above 2000 rpm.
When this symbol switches on, it does not indicate a vehicle failure and thus it should not be taken to a
workshop.
19)
WARNING
18)The presence of water in the fuel supply system circuit may cause severe damage to the injection system and irregular engine operation.
If the
symbol is displayed contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to bleed the system. If the above indications come on
immediately after refuelling, water has probably been poured into the tank: switch the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
19)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 warning light 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. It is not advisable to complete DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.
