Quick Reference Guide
Regenerating DPF
The Emission Aftertreatment System (EAS) is equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter
(DPF) which must be cleaned (regenerated).
For most types of operation regeneration will be handled automatically by the vehicle
without any driver involvement.
Familiarise yourself with the DPF switch, the three levels of regeneration, their
warnings and what action to take. Make sure that you have enough AdBlue for your
journey.
There are three types of regeneration:
Passive regeneration
Automatic regeneration of the DPF above a certain temperature. No intervention
required by the driver and no indication on the master display.
Active regeneration
Regeneration when driving, triggered by the engine management system (EMS).
No intervention by the driver needed.
NOTE: When at low speed
or with the vehicle stationary
(during forced stationary
regeneration) the yellow
coloured high exhaust
system temperature (HEST)
is shown in the instrument
panel, take care that no
people, vehicles, animals or
combustible materials are
within 2 metres of the
exhaust outlet.
