The symbol does not switch on during every DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions require that

the driver is notified. To turn off the symbol, keep the car in motion until the regeneration process is over. The

process normally takes about 15 minutes. Optimal conditions for completing the process are achieved by

travelling at 60 km/h with engine speed above 2000 rpm.

workshop. On some versions, together with the symbol switching on, the display shows a dedicated message.

Failure to observe the appropriate procedure for a long distance when the

symbol

comes on, can cause the warning light to come on, resulting in the need to go to a Fiat Dealership to

restore correct DPF operation.

GPF CLEANING (particulate filter) in progress (petrol versions only with GPF) (where provided)

The symbol lights up fixed, and a message appears on the display, to notify the driver that the GPF system

needs to eliminate captured pollutants (particulate) through the regeneration process.

The symbol does not light up on during every GPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions require that the

driver is notified.

To turn off the symbol, keep the car in motion until the regeneration process is over. The optimal conditions for

completing the process are achieved by varying the speed of the car (press and release the accelerator pedal).

Hold a speed faster than 60 km/h, on extra-urban roads, with the engine running fastener than 2000 rpm, until

the symbol and the message disappear from the display.

When this symbol switches on, it does not indicate an anomaly and thus it should not be taken to a workshop.

GPF FAILURE (particulate filter) (petrol versions only with GPF) (where provided)

The symbol lights up fixed together with the warning light and dedicated messages appear on the display in case

of failure to the GPF (Gasoline Particulate Filter).

DEGRADED ENGINE OIL (where provided)

Diesel versions

: the symbol is displayed on some versions, along with a dedicated message displaying. The

symbol is displayed for 3 minute cycles and intervals of 5 seconds until oil is changed. The symbol is displayed

until the problem is solved.

IMPORTANT After the first indication, each time the engine is started the symbol will continue to switch on as

described above until the oil is changed. On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed.

If the symbol flashes, this does not mean that there is a fault on the vehicle, rather it simply reports that it is now

necessary to change the oil as a result of regular use of the vehicle. The deterioration of engine oil is accelerated

by using the car for short drives, preventing the engine from reaching operating temperature. Contact a Fiat

Dealership as soon as possible.

The presence of water in the fuel

system circuit may cause severe damage

to the injection system and irregular engine
operation. If the

symbol is displayed

contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as

possible to bleed the system. If the

above indications come on immediately

after refuelling, water has probably been

poured into the tank: switch the engine off

immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.

Degraded engine oil should be

replaced as soon as possible after the
warning light

comes on, and never

more than 500 km after it first comes

on. Failure to observe the above may

result in severe damage to the engine and

invalidate the warranty.

Remember that

when this warning light comes on, it

does not mean that the level of engine

oil is low, so if it flashes it does not

mean that you need to top up the

engine oil
