The warning light is switched off by keeping the car moving for about 15 minutes so that the DPF system can remove the trapped pollutants. Driving the car at about 60 km\/h at a speed above 2000 rpm provides optimal conditions for completing the cleaning process.<\/li>\n<li>Degraded engine oil: The minimum engine oil pressure warning light is activated in flashing mode and a specific message is shown on the display. The dedicated warning light may flash 1 minute every 2 hours or for 3-minute cycles and 5-second intervals (light off) until the oil is changed.For <strong>fleets<\/strong> (EURO 5 versions) there is a self-adaptive system with an 'on demand' forced regeneration procedure, i.e. the vehicle is equipped with an innovative electronic DPF management system, developed specifically for those who drive very short distances, characterised by continuous engine start-ups and shut-downs.The electronic control unit constantly monitors the driving style adopted and the type of routes taken in order to manage the regeneration of the DPF filter with self-adaptive logic, thereby optimising the engine oil change intervals and consequently increasing the use of the vehicle. Only if the electronic control unit recognises that the vehicle is being used in such a way as not to allow the automatic regeneration cycle of the DPF filter to be completed, will it be necessary for the driver to activate the procedure.\n<p>If the 'DPF clogged particle filter' warning light comes on in steady mode while driving, this indicates that the vehicle was particularly demanding for the complete regeneration of the DPF filter, and this could not be completed automatically. In this case the procedure itself must be activated voluntarily, following the instructions below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forced regeneration procedure 'on demand'. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To be carried out when the 'DPF clogged' light comes on in the instrument cluster and the corresponding message appears on the display: 'DPF cleaning: carry out regeneration see manual'.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>the message will be shown on the display for 10 seconds or 4 times depending on the set-up.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>It is therefore necessary, within 100 km (*) from when the warning appears, to carry out forced regeneration 'on demand' as per the procedure below:<\/p>\n<p>1 - Check that the engine is warm (engine coolant temperature gauge halfway up) (**).<\/p>\n<p>2 - Position the vehicle on a flat road (***).<\/p>\n<p>3 - Apply the handbrake.<\/p>\n<p>4 - Switch off the engine (key in STOP position) and open the bonnet.<\/p>\n<p>5 - Place the gear lever in neutral (N for automatic transmission versions).<\/p>\n<p>6 - Turn the key to the MAR position.<\/p>\n<p>7 - Depress the accelerator pedal and brake pedal fully simultaneously for 10 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>8 - If the manoeuvre has been carried out correctly, the \"DPF particle filter clogged\" warning light will start flashing on the instrument cluster and at the same time the message: \"DPF cleaning: start the engine and keep the vehicle stationary\" will be displayed.<\/p>\n<p>9 - Release both pedals.<\/p>\n<p>10 - Start the engine, without depressing the accelerator pedal and clutch pedal, by turning the key to the AVV position (if the engine fails to start, repeat the procedure starting from point 4.<\/p>\n<p>11 - Automatically the engine speed will gradually increase to around 2000 rpm.<\/p>\n<p>12 - During the regeneration process, DO NOT press any pedals (accelerator, brake, clutch), otherwise the regeneration process is interrupted and must be repeated starting from step 4.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>(*) If the procedure is not carried out within the required 100 km, the \"INJECTION SYSTEM AVARIA\" light will also come on in the instrument cluster, and the vehicle will go into a recovery condition, with limited performance, to remind the user to carry out the \"on demand\" forced regeneration procedure as soon as possible, and in any case no later than 5 hours of use. If \"on demand\" forced regeneration is not carried out, the \"DPF clogged particulate filter\" light will go off on the instrument cluster, but the \"INJECTION SYSTEM AVARIA\" light will remain on and, in order to eliminate this recovery, it will be necessary to take the vehicle to the nearest Service Centre to carry out forced regeneration through the diagnostic instrument.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>(**) The procedure should always be carried out with a warm engine.
