Symbol What it means
amberWATER IN DIESEL FILTER (Diesel versions)
The symbol switches on constantly when driving, along to indicate the presence of water
in the diesel filter.21)
amberDPF 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. The process normally takes about 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 defect of the car and thus it should
not be taken to a workshop.
22)
amberEXTERIOR LIGHTS FAILURE
The symbol switches on to indicate a failure on the following lights: daytime running lights
(DRLs); parking lights; side lights; direction indicators; rear fog light; reversing light; number
plate lights; stop lights.
The failure may be caused by a blown bulb, a blown protection fuse or an interruption of
the electrical connection.
amberDUSK SENSOR FAILURE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The symbol switches on in the case of failure of the dusk sensor. Contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
