DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for 1.3 Multijet 75 HP versions)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, inte-
gral with the exhaust system, that physically traps partic-
ulates present in the exhaust gases of diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter has been adopted to eliminate
almost all particulates in compliance with current/future
legal regulations.
During normal use of the vehicle, the engine control unit
records a set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route, tem-
peratures, etc.) and it will then calculate how much par-
ticulates has been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulate, it should be re-
generated (cleaned) at regular intervals by burning carbon
particles.
The regeneration procedure is controlled automatically by
the engine management control unit according to the fil-
ter conditions and vehicle use conditions.
There may be a limited increase in the engine idle speed
during the regeneration, a limited increase in fumes and
high temperatures at the exhaust. These are not faults;
they do not impair vehicle performance or damage the
environment.
If the dedicated message is displayed, refer to paragraph
“Warning lights and messages”.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENTThe following devices are used for reducing petrol fuel
engine emissions:❒
three-way catalytic converter;

oxygen sensors;

evaporation control system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with
one or more spark plugs disconnected.
The following devices are used for reducing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions:

oxidising catalytic converter;

exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.);

diesel particulate filter (DPF).
The catalytic converter develops high tem-
perature during operation. Do not park
the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or oth-
er flammable material: fire hazard.

Never use a fast battery-charger to start the
engine as this could damage the electron-
ic systems of your car, particularly the ig-
nition and fuel supply control units.This procedure must be performed by qual-
ified personnel as incorrect actions may
cause high-intensity electrical discharge. Further-
more, battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid
contact with your skin and eyes. Keep naked flames
away from the battery. No smoking. Do not cause
sparks.
WARNING
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not
insist rather contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative ter-
minals of the two batteries: any sparks may ignite the det-
onating gas which could come out of the battery. If the aux-
iliary battery is installed on another car, prevent any contact
between metal parts of the cars and the flat battery.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or driving
downhill.
This could cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic convert-
er and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the servo-brake and elec-
trical power steering system (for versions/markets where
provided) are not operating until the engine is started, a
greater effort will therefore be required to press the brake
pedal or turn the steering wheel. Proceed as follows to start the car:

connect the positive terminals (+ sign close to the ter-
minal) of both batteries using a lead;

with a second lead, connect the negative terminal − of
the auxiliary battery to an earthing point
E
on the en-
gine or the gearbox of the car to be started;

start the engine;

when the engine has been started, follow the sequence
above in reverse order to remove the leads.

BATTERY RECHARGINGIMPORTANT Battery recharging procedure is given as in-
formation only. This operation shall be performed at a Fiat
Dealership .
Charging should be slow at a low ampere rating for ap-
proximately 24 hours. Charging for a longer time may dam-
age the battery.
Charge the battery as follows:❒
disconnect the battery negative terminal;

connect the charger cables to the battery terminals, ob-
serving the poles;

turn on the battery charger;

after recharging, turn the battery charger off before dis-
connecting the battery itself;

reconnect the battery negative terminal.
Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive:
avoid contact with your skin and eyes. The
battery should be charged in a well ventilated
place, away from naked flames or possible sources
of sparks: danger of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Do not attempt to charge a frozen bat-
tery: it must firstly be thawed, otherwise
it may burst. If the battery was frozen, have it in-
spected by skilled personnel before recharging to
check that the internal elements are not damaged
and that the casing is not cracked, which causes
the risk of leakage of poisonous, corrosive acid.
