following the same logic described for

the opening stage both of the front door

windows and the rear door windows.

Window anti-pinch safety device

This safety system can recognise the

presence of any obstacle during the

window closing movement. If this

occurs, the system stops the window's

movement and reverts it, depending on

its position.
The anti-pinch safety function is

activated both during the manual and the

automatic operation of the window.

Electric window system initialisation

If power supply is interrupted, the

electric window automatic operation

must be reinitialised.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

SYSTEMS

Petrol versions

The systems used for reducing petrol

engine emissions are: catalytic

converter, oxygen sensors, fuel

evaporation control system and GPF

particulate filter (petrol versions with

GPF only).

Diesel versions

The systems used for reducing diesel

engine emissions are: exhaust gas

recirculation system (EGR), oxidising

catalytic converter,(DOC), selective

nitrogen oxide catalytic converter with
AdBlue® (SCR) and particulate filter

(DPF).

35)

GASOLINE PARTICULATE FILTER GPF

(Gasoline Particulate Filter) (petrol

versions with GPF only)

The Gasoline Particulate Filter is a

mechanical filter built into the exhaust

system, which physically traps carbon

particles present in the exhaust gases of

petrol engines.
Since this filter physically traps

particulate, it must be periodically

regenerated (cleaned) at regular

intervals by burning carbon particles.

53

The following may occur during

regeneration: more noise and/or

worsening of car handling.
These are not faults; they do not impair

normal car performance or damage the

environment. If the dedicated message

is displayed, see contents of "Warning

lights and messages" paragraph, in

chapter "Knowing the instrument panel".

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)

(Diesel Particulate Filter)

The Diesel Particulate Filter is a

mechanical filter, integral to the exhaust

system, that physically traps carbon

particles present in the exhaust gases of

Diesel engines.
Since this filter physically traps

particulate, it should be periodically

regenerated (cleaned) at regular

intervals by burning carbon particles.
During the regeneration there may be

a limited increase in the engine idle

speed, fan activation, a limited increase

in fumes and high temperatures at the

exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair

normal car performance or damage the

environment. If the dedicated message

is displayed, see contents of "Warning

lights and messages" paragraph, in

chapter "Knowing the instrument panel".

WARNING

35)

The catalytic converter and particulate

filter (DPF) reach very high temperatures

during operation. Therefore do not park the

vehicle on flammable materials (e.g. grass,

dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire hazard.

This section of the handbook provides all information that is

useful for getting to know, interpreting, and using the

instrument panel correctly.
