Warning light What it means
ENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
(where provided)
Diesel versions : the warning light or symbol turns on and is displayed for 3 minute cycles and intervals
of 5 seconds until the oil is changed.
The symbol is displayed until the problem is solved.
Petrol versions : the warning light or symbol switches on and then is not displayed when the display
cycle is completed.
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.
If the warning light or 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 vehicle for short drives, preventing the engine
from reaching operating temperature.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
14) 15)
DPF CLEANING in progress (Diesel versions with DPF only)
The warning light or symbol switches on constantly to indicate that the DPF system needs to eliminate
the trapped pollutants (particulate) through the regeneration process.
The warning light or symbol does not come on during every DPF regeneration, but only when driving
conditions require that the driver is notified. To turn off the symbol, keep the vehicle 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 or symbol switches on, it does not indicate a vehicle failure and therefore it does
not need to be taken to a workshop.
16)
“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The indication CITY switches on when the "Dualdrive" electric power steering system is activated by
pressing the relative control button. If the button is pressed again the word CITY goes out.
SIDE LIGHTS AND DIPPED BEAM HEADLIGHTS
The warning light switches on when the side lights or dipped headlights are turned on.
This function allows the headlights to remain on for 30, 60 or 90 seconds after the ignition device was
placed in STOP position ("Follow me home" function).
