The system condition can always be
shown on the display.
The system displaying includes the
following two steps:
❒All new traffic signs that can be
recognised are displayed as pop-ups
for 40 seconds over the other
signallings.
❒After the preset time, they are
displayed in the dedicated screen on
the panel.
The system can display two traffic signs
(speed limit and no overtaking) at the
same time in the two dedicated areas
of the panel.
If an additional traffic sign is detected,
e.g. a reduced speed limit for wet
road conditions, this is displayed as an
empty box under the relevant sign.The additional signs are filtered as
follows:
❒The additional sign for "snow" or
"rain" will not be displayed if the
outside temperature is over 3°C.
❒The additional sign for "snow" or
"rain" or "cloudy" will not be
displayed if the windscreen wipers
are off and the outside temperature is
below 3°C.
❒The additional sign for "truck" will not
be displayed if the vehicle weighs
less than 4-4.5 t.
❒The speed limit sign will not be
displayed if coupled with the
additional "tractor" sign.
WARNING
78) If the camera loses its position
due to a load variation, the system
may not work temporarily to allow
the camera to perform an
autocalibration.
79) The system only detects the
preset traffic signs. If the
minimum visibility conditions and
distance from the sign are met
it can detect all traffic signs.80) The system is a driving
assistance system but it does not
relieve the driver of the
responsibility of driving with due
attention and diligence in
compliance with the laws in force.
81) When the system is active, the
driver is responsible for
controlling the vehicle and
monitoring the system, and must
intervene as appropriate if
necessary.
IMPORTANT
9) If the sensor is blocked, the
system may not work.
10) In the case of low temperatures
or harsh weather conditions, the
system may not work.
11) Rain, snow, splashes and strong
light contrast may influence the
sensor.
12) Do not repair the area of the
windscreen directly surrounding
the sensor.
13) If the vehicle is equipped with a
non-genuine suspension kit, the
system may not work correctly.

When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over 50% full.
18)
FILLING THE TANK
To fill the tank completely, top-up twice
after the first click of the fuel supply
gun. Further top-ups could cause faults
in the fuel supply system.
FUEL TANK CAP
For refuelling, open flap A fig. 140 and
unscrew cap B turning the ignition
key anticlockwise; the cap is fitted with
a safety device C which fastens it to
the flap so it cannot be mislaid.The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap is
absolutely normal.
When refuelling, fasten the cap to the
device inside the flap as shown in
fig. 140.
88)
IMPORTANT
18) Only refuel with automotive
diesel complying with the
European specification EN 590.
The use of other products or
mixtures may damage the engine
beyond repair and consequently
invalidate the warranty, due to the
damage caused. If you
accidentally introduce other types
of fuel into the tank, do not start
the engine. Empty the tank. If the
engine has been run for even an
extremely limited amount of time,
you must not only drain the fuel
tank, but the rest of the supply
circuit as well.
WARNING
88) 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.PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENTThe 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).
89)
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.
140
F1A0144
101
Page 106 of 367

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.
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
89) 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.

AIR CLEANER/
POLLEN FILTERHave the air cleaner replaced by a Fiat
Dealership.
AIR CLEANER – DUSTY
ROADS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The air cleaner for dusty areas is
equipped with a visual filter block
indication device A fig. 242. Check the
reading of the blockage sensor at
intervals (Refer to the "Service
Schedule" in the "Maintenance and
care" section).When the setting is reached the
indicator B fig. 243 is triggered,
changing to red, even with the engine
off. To reset the indicator, clean/replace
the cartridge as on normal versions
and then reset the indicator by pressing
the button C fig. 243.
IMPORTANT To blow the filter use an
air jet, do not use water or liquid
detergents.
Since this cleaner is specific to versions
designed for dusty areas, it is
advisable to contact a Fiat Dealership
to change the cleaner.POLLEN FILTER
Pollen filter replacement must be
carried out at a Fiat Dealership.242
