• If the red warning light flashes, or if the yellow warning
v
light comes on solid (for versions/markets, where provided),
the degraded engine oil must be changed as soon as possible,
and never more than 500 km from the first time that the warning
light switches on.
Failure to observe the above indications may result in severe
damage to the engine and invalidate the warranty. Please note
also that the switching on of this warning light does not depend
on the oil quantity in the engine; when the warning light flashes,
never add oil.
• Always drive at a speed appropriate to the traffic conditions,
the weather and traffic regulations.
The engine may be turned off while the DPF light is on; however,
repeated interruption of the regeneration process may result in
premature exhaustion of engine oil.
For this reason, it is always advisable to wait for the light to go off
before turning off the engine, following the instructions appearing
above. It is not advisable to complete DPF regeneration with the
car stationary.
• The presence of water in the feeding circuit may cause severe
damage to the injection system and irregular engine operation.
c
If the warning light or the symbol
with the message on the display), go to a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible to have the system bled.
If this problem is indicated immediately after refuelling, water may
have entered the fuel tank. In this case, immediately turn off the
engine and contact your Fiat Dealership.
