During normal service the
catalyst and the diesel par-
ticulate filter (DPF) reach high tem-
peratures. Do not therefore park the
car over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire
hazard.
WARNING
Diesel Particulate Filter clogged
If the warning light hon the instru-
ment panel turns on (together with the
message on the display) refer to section
“Warning lights and messages”. DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
(DPF) (where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechan-
ical filter, integral with the exhaust system,
that physically traps particulate present
in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines.
The diesel particular filter has been adopt-
ed to eliminate almost totally particulates
in compliance with current / future law
regulations.
During normal use of the car, the engine
control unit records a set of data (e.g.:
travel time, type of route, temperatures,
etc.) and it will then calculate how much
particulates has been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulates,
it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regular
intervals by burning carbon particles. Re-
claiming procedure is controlled auto-
matically by the engine control unit ac-
cording to the filter conditions and the
conditions of use of the car.
During reclaiming the following phenom-
ena could take place: idling slight increase,
fan activation, slight smoke increase, high
exhaust temperatures. These situations
shall not be considered as faults and they
do not affect car performance and envi-
ronment.PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing petrol engine
emissions are the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensor;
❒fuel evaporation system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even
for a test, with one or more spark plugs
disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.);
❒Lambda sensors;
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF) (where
provided it is fitted instead of the Lamb-
da sensor).

is accompanied by specific message and/or
by buzzer sound where provided by in-
strument panel. These indications are
concise and cautionaryand shall not be
considered as exhaustive and/or as an al-
ternative to the specifications contained
in this Owner Handbook which shall al-
ways be read through carefully and thor-
oughly. In case of failure indication always
refer to the specifications contained
in this section.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed
are divided into two categories: very se-
riousand less seriousfailures.
Very seriousfailures are indicated by a
repeated and prolonged warning “cycle”.
Less seriousfailures are indicated by a
limited warning “cycle”.
The warning cycle of both failure classes
can be stopped by pressing button
MODE. The warning light (or symbol on
the display) will stay on until eliminating
the fault.Handbrake on
The warning light turns on when the hand-
brake is on.
If the car is moving, a buzzer will also
sound.
IMPORTANT If the warning light turns on
when travelling, check that the handbrake
is not engaged. LOW BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL (red)
HANDBRAKE ON (red)
Turning the ignition key to MARthe
warning light turns on, but it should go off
after few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the lev-
el of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls
below the minimum level, due to possi-
ble leak in the circuit.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.BRAKE PAD
WEAR (amber)
The warning light (or the symbol on the
display) turns on if the front brake pads
are worn; in this case have them changed
as soon as possible.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
IMPORTANT Since the car is fitted with
wear sensors for the front brake pads,
when changing them, check also the rear
brake pads.

If the xwarning light turns
on when travelling (together
with the message on the display) stop
the car immediately and contact Fiat
Dealership.

off switch is triggered.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
Engine oil pressure sensor failure
The warning light (or the symbol on the
display) turns on when a fault is detected
to engine oil pressure sensor.
Twilight sensor failure
The warning light (or the symbol on dis-
play) turns on when a fault is detected to
the twilight sensor.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
Speed limit exceeded
(only for Arabic countries)
The warning light (amber), or symbol on

DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER CLOGGED
(amber)
(Multijet versions)
Turning the ignition key to MARthe
warning light turns on, but it should go off
after few seconds. The warning light turns
on when the diesel particulate filter is
clogged and the driving conditions do not
enable to activate automatically the re-
claiming procedure.
To enable the cleaning procedure, keep
the car running until the warning light
turns off.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
h
Rain sensor failure
The warning light (or the symbol on the
display) on the dial turns on when the rain
sensor is faulty. Contact Fiat Dealership.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
Parking sensors failure
(where provided)
The warning light (or the symbol on the
display) when a fault is detected to park-
ing sensors.
Tyre pressure monitoring
system failure (where provided)
The warning light (or the symbol on the
display) turns on when a failure is detect-
ed in the T.P.M.S. system (where provid-
ed).
Should one or more wheels without sen-
sor be fitted, the instrument panel warn-
ing light will come on and stay on until
restoring initial conditions.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
NOTE When one of the above faults oc-
curs, contact your Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.FUEL RESERVE
