Symbol What it means
yellow
DPF CLEANING (particulate trap) in progress (diesel versions with DPF only)
The symbol switches on constantly when driving (along with a message in the display), to indicate the
presence of water in the diesel filter.
(where provided)
The symbol switches on constantly to indicate that the DPF system needs to eliminate the trapped
pollutants (particulate) through the regeneration process.
The symbol stays off during the entire DPF regeneration and lights up only when driving
conditions require the driver to be notified. 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.
When this symbol switches on, it does not indicate a fault and thus it should not be taken to a workshop.
On some versions, together with the symbol switching on, the display shows a dedicated message.
IMPORTANT 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.

yellow
GPF CLEANING (PARTICULATE TRAP) IN PROGRESS (petrol versions with GPF only)
(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.
yellow
GPF FAILURE (PARTICULATE TRAP) (petrol versions with GPF only)
(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).
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
