FIAT 500 - Manual (Page 123)

WARNING
The driving speed should always be
suitable to traffic conditions, weather
conditions and the driver should always comply
with the Highway Code.The engine can also
be switched off if the DPF warning light is on;
nevertheless, repeated interruptions of the
regeneration process could cause an early decay
of engine oil. For this reason, always wait until
the warning light switches off before stopping
the engine as described above. It is not a good
idea to complete DPF regeneration with the
vehicle stationary.

the warning light comes on but should go out after a
