Warning lights on
panel
WATER IN DIESEL FILTER (Diesel versions)
The warning light switches on constantly when driving to indicate
the presence of water in the diesel filter.
DPF CLEANING (particulate trap) in progress (diesel versions
with DPF only)
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to
MAR, but it should switch off after a few seconds. The warning
light switches on constantly to indicate that the DPF system
needs to eliminate the trapped pollutants (particulate) through
the regeneration process.
The warning light does not come on during every DPF
regeneration, but only when driving conditions require that the
driver is notified. To turn off the warning light, keep the car in
motion until the regeneration process is over.
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.
When this warning light switches on, it does not indicate a vehicle
failure and thus it should not be taken to a workshop.
