Warning light
46) Always drive at a speed appropriate to the traffic conditions, the weather and traffic regulations. The engine can also be switched off if the
DPF warning light is on; nevertheless, repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could cause an early deterioration of 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.

DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER) CLEANING IN PROGRESS (Diesel versions with DPF)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light turns on but should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light switches on constantly, on some versions along with a dedicated message on the
display, to notify the driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate captured pollutants (particulate) through
the regeneration process.
The warning light does not come on every time the DPF is being regenerated, rather only when the driving
conditions are such that the driver needs to know it. To switch the warning light off, the vehicle must be
kept moving until the regeneration process is completed. On average, the process lasts 15 minutes.
Optimal conditions for completing the process are achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with engine speed
above 2000 rpm.
If this light switches on, it does not mean that the vehicle is defective, so there is no need to take it to a
workshop.
