Ü
Warning light 1
comes on to indi-
cate a filter saturation risk.
To clean the particle filter, for 60 miles
(100 km) after the message appears,
drive at an average speed of at least
24 mph (40 km/h), where suitable traf-
fic conditions and the speed limit will
allow, until the warning light goes out.
You may need to restart the operation if
the vehicle has to stop before the warn-
ing light goes out.
As a guide, this type of cleaning should
take up to 20 minutes.

If the
warning light comes on,
accompanied by the message "Check
antipollution", consult an approved
Dealer as soon as possible.
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with injection
equipment which prevents the engine
speed being exceeded irrespective of
the gear selected.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such as
grass or leaves can come into con-
tact with the hot exhaust system.
When driving, depending on the grade
of fuel used, it is possible that white
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter
being cleaned automatically, and does
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
