dpf FIAT DUCATO 2015 3.G Owners Manual

WARNING
92) Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel tank
opening: fire risk. Keep your face
away from the fuel filler to prevent
breathing in harmful vapours.
93) To avoid fuel spillage and the
exceeding of the maximum level,
avoid topping up after filling the
tank.
94) Any fuel pumping in portable
containers located on a floor
can cause a fire. Danger of burns.
Always put the fuel container on
the ground during filling. Avoid
using contaminated fuel: a fuel
contaminated with water or earth
can cause serious damage to
the motor supply. Proper
maintenance of the fuel filter, of
the engine and the fuel tank is
essential.
95) Do not open the fuel system at
high pressure with the engine
running. The operation of the
engine creates a high fuel
pressure. A jet of high-pressure
fuel can cause serious injury or
death.
WARNING
96) If AdBlue overheats for a
prolonged period inside the tank
to over 50 ° C (for example due
to direct solar irradiation), AdBlue
can decompose ammonia
vapours. Ammonia vapours have a
pungent odour when the cap of
the AdBlue tank is unscrewed,
therefore be careful not to inhale
any ammonia vapours in the tank
outlet. In this concentration,
however, the ammonia vapors are
not harmful or dangerous to
health.
PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The following devices are used for
reducing diesel fuel engine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(EGR);
❒particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/
markets, where provided).
97)
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a
mechanical filter, integral to the exhaust
system, that physically traps carbon
particles 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
Powertrain Control Module records
a set of data (travel time, type of route,
temperatures reached etc.) and
calculates how much particulate has
been trapped by the filter.
113

Since this filter physically traps
particulate, it should be regenerated
(cleaned) at regular intervals by burning
carbon particles.
The regeneration procedure is
controlled automatically by the
Powertrain Control Module according
to the filter conditions and vehicle
usage conditions.
During regeneration, the following may
occur: a limited increase in the engine
speed, activation of the fan, 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".
WARNING
97) The diesel particulate filter (DPF)
reaches high temperatures during
normal operation. Do not park
the vehicle on flammable material
(grass, dry leaves, pine needles
etc.): fire hazard.

Warning lights on
displayWhat it means What to do
redLOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
When the key is turned to MAR-ON, the digital warning light switches on,
but it should switch off as soon as the engine is started.
The warning light switches on constantly together with the message in
the display when the system detects that the engine oil pressure is
insufficient.
22)
ENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
(MultiJet versions with DPF only)
The warning light starts to flash together with a message on the display
(for versions/markets, where provided) when the system detects that the
engine oil has deteriorated.
If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the vehicle is faulty,
but simply informs the driver that it is now necessary to change the
engine oil as a result of regular vehicle use. If the oil is not changed, when
a second deterioration threshold is reached, the warning light
also
switches on in the instrument panel and the engine operation is limited to
3000 rpm.
If the oil is still not changed, when a third deterioration threshold is
reached, the engine is limited to 1500 rpm to avoid damage.Contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
100) 101)
Remember that the
deterioration of the engine
oil is accelerated by:
– mainly town use of the
vehicle which makes the
DPF regeneration process
more frequent
– use of the vehicle for
short trips, preventing the
engine from reaching
operating temperature
– repeated interruption of
the regeneration process,
signalled by the DPF
warning light coming on.

amberDPF (PARTICULATE FILTER) CLEANING
UNDERWAY
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the key is turned to MAR-ON, the warning
light switches on but should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light switches on constantly to
inform the driver that the DPF system needs to
eliminate the trapped pollutants (particulate)
through the regeneration process.
A dedicated message will appear on the display
when the warning light switches on (for versions/
markets, where provided).The warning light does not come on during every
DPF regeneration, but only when driving
conditions require that the driver is notified. The
warning light will switch off if the vehicle remains
in motion until regeneration has been completed.
On average, the process lasts 15 minutes.
The best conditions to complete the regeneration
process are reached by driving the vehicle
constantly at 60 km/h with engine speed above
2000 rpm. When this warning light comes on, it
does not indicate a vehicle failure and it should
not therefore be taken to a workshop.

panelWhat it means What to do
amberESC-ASR SYSTEM / TRACTION PLUS FAILURE
On certain versions a dedicated message is
displayed.
Flashing of the warning light while driving
indicates the intervention of the ESC system.If the warning light does not switch off, or stays
on when travelling, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Hill Holder system failure
The warning light will turn on when the Hill Holder
system is faulty.
On certain versions a dedicated message is
displayed.In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

WARNING
102) Always drive at a speed appropriate to the traffic conditions, the weather and traffic regulations. The engine may
be stopped if the DPF light is on; however, repeated interruption of the regeneration process may result in 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 vehicle stationary.

The warning light switches on when the dipped
beam headlights are turned on.
FOLLOW ME HOME
The warning light switches on (together with a
message shown on the display) when this device
is in use (see "Follow me home device" paragraph
in "Exterior lights" in the "Knowing your vehicle"
chapter).
greenLEFT-HAND DIRECTION INDICATOR
The warning light switches on when the direction
indicator control stalk is moved downwards or,
together with the right indicator, when the hazard
warning light button is pressed.
