Degraded engine oil
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
The warning light will flash and a specific message will ap-
pear on the display (for versions/markets where provid-
ed). The warning light may flash in the following ways, de-
pending on the version:
– for 1 minute every two hours;
– for 3 minute cycles with the warning light off for inter-
vals of 5 seconds until oil is changed.
After the initial warning, each time the engine is started
up, the warning light will continue to flash in the same ways
as described above, until the oil is changed. A specific mes-
sage will appear on the display (for versions/markets where
provided) in addition to the warning light.
If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the car
is defective, but simply informs the driver that it is now
necessary to change the oil as a result of regular vehicle
use.
