Unlike a normal filter which requires
periodic replacement, the DPF has
been designed to regenerate, or
clean itself to maintain operating
efficiency. The regeneration process
takes place automatically. However,
some driving conditions mean that
you must support the regeneration
process.
If you drive only short distances or
your journeys contain frequent
stopping and starting, you must
initiate the regeneration process
every 500-800 kilometres (300-500
miles). To do this, drive your vehicle
at 80 km/h (50 mph) for 40
kilometres (25 miles) in the lowest
possible gear whenever it is safe to
do so. Alternatively, drive normally
but use a lower gear.
SWITCHING OFF THE
ENGINE
Vehicles with a
turbocharger
CAUTION
Do not switch the engine off
when it is running at high speed.
If you do, the turbocharger will
continue running after the engine oil
pressure has dropped to zero. This
will lead to premature turbocharger
bearing wear.
Release the accelerator pedal. Wait
until the engine has reached idle
speed and then switch it off.
