CLEANING DPF
(PARTICULATE FILTER)
h
IN PROGRESS (only
Diesel versions with
DPF - amber)
When the electronic key is inserted into
the starting device , the warning light switch-
es on but it must switch off after a few sec-
onds. The warning light comes on constantly
to notify the driver that the DPF system
needs to eliminate captured pollutants (par-
ticulate) by the regeneration process. The
warning light does not come on during every
DPF regeneration, but only when driving con-
ditions require notification of the driver. To
switch the warning light off, the car must
stay in motion until regeneration has been
completed. The process normally takes
about 15 minutes. The optimum conditions
to end the process are achieved by keep-
ing the car in motion up to 60 km/h with
an engine speed higher than 2,000 rpm.
This light coming on is not a car defect and
Romeo
therefore the car does not need to go to the
workshop. A specific message will appear
on the display when the warning light comes
on (for versions/markets, where provided).
Always drive at a speed
appropriate to the traffic
conditions, the weather and
speed limits. The engine may be
turned off while the DPF light is
on; however, repeated interrup-
tion of the regeneration process
may result in premature exhaus-
tion 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 in-
structions appearing above. It is
not advisable to complete DPF re-
generation with the vehicle sta-
tionary.
