Warning light What it means
Engine oil degraded
(diesel versions with DPF)
The warning light comes on flashing, on some versions along with a dedicated message on the display.
The warning light flashes for 3 minute cycles with the warning light off for intervals of 5 seconds until oil is
changed.
After the first indication, at each engine start up the warning light will continue flashing as described above
until the oil is changed. On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed.
The flashing of the warning light should not be considered as a fault, it simply informs the customer that the
oil needs to be changed following normal vehicle use.
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil is accelerated by:
❒ mainly town use of the vehicle which makes the DPF regeneration process more frequent;
❒ use of the vehicle for short drives, in which the engine does not have time to reach its regular operating
temperature;
❒ repeated interruption of the regeneration process, signalled by the DPF warning light switching on.

WARNING
44) Degraded engine oil should be replaced as soon as possible after the warning light comes on, and never more than 500 km after it first
comes on. Failure to observe the above indications may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the warranty. Remember that
the operation of this warning light is not related to the amount of oil in the engine. Therefore, never top up with oil when the light starts
flashing.
