Special features of diesel versions
Depending on the vehicle, a 1 warning
light lights up on the instrument panel to
show that there is a risk of the particle
filter becoming clogged.
To clean the particle filter, in the
60 miles (100 km) following the appear-
ance of the message, drive at an aver-
age speed of at least 24 mph (40 km/h)
until the warning
light goes out.
You may need to restart the operation if
the vehicle has to stop before the warn-
ing light goes out.
Diesel engines are fitted with an injec-
tion pump with an electronic regulator
irrespective of the gear en-
gaged.
You may start the engine normally after
refilling the fuel tank
, provided
that the battery is fully charged.
However, if the engine does not start
after a few seconds and several at-
tempts, please refer to the information
on the “Fuel tank” in Section 1.
To avoid faults in icy weather:
– make sure that the battery is always
fully charged;
– always keep the diesel tank rela-
tively full to prevent water vapour
condensing in it and accumulating at
the bottom of the tank.
As a guide, this type of cleaning should
take up to 20 minutes.
If the
© warning light comes on,
contact an approved Dealer as soon as
possible.
When driving, depending on the fuel
grade used, it is possible that white
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter
being cleaned automatically, and does
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system.
