SPEED LIMITER (green)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light switches on when the key is
turned to MAR-ON, but it should switch off after a
few seconds, if the "Speed limiter" is deactivated.
Activation
The warning light switches on when the Cruise
Control ring nut is turned to
position (see the
“Cruise Control” paragraph in the "Knowing your
car" chapter).
On some versions, the intervention of the system is
indicated by a message and a symbol shown on the
display and by the last stored car speed.
Deactivation
The deactivation of the system is indicated by the
warning light switching off on the display and, on
some version, by the display of a message and
symbol.
DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER)
BEING CLEANED
(only Diesel versions with DPF) (amber)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position illuminates
the warning light, but it should switch off after a
few seconds.
The warning light (on some versions, together with a
message and a symbol on the display) switches on
constantly 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 during every
DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions
require that the driver is notified.
To switch the warning light off, the car must be kept
moving until the regeneration process is completed.
As an average, the process lasts fifteen minutes.
The best conditions to complete the regeneration
process are reached driving the car at about 60 km/h
with engine speed over 2000 rpm.
When this warning light switches on, it does not
indicate a car failure and thus it should not be taken
to a workshop. On some versions, together with
the warning light switching on, the display shows a
dedicated message.
