When regeneration is finished:
R
the
É
indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster goes out
R
the engine speed is reduced to idling speed
Regeneration is automatically interrupted if you:
R
move the multifunction lever to position D or
R
R
release the parking brake
R
switch on the regeneration block
R
engage power take-off
The interruption reduces the engine speed to
idling speed.
i The engine speed may rise and the engine
noise may change while regeneration is in
process. Observe the increased engine speed
when operating with power take-off.
i If the on-board computer prompts you to
carry out manual regeneration when the out-
side temperature is low, start regeneration
before parking the vehicle.
If you park the vehicle without regenerating,
you can only begin manual regeneration after
the engine warming-up phase.
Start the manual regeneration after a thawing
time of up to 60 minutes if:
R
AdBlue
®
is frozen
R
you have parked up the vehicle without per-
forming regeneration
Replacing the filter
G
WARNING
Direct contact or inhalation of soot particles is
hazardous to health. There is a risk of injury.
Have the diesel particle filter replaced at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Fuel consumption
Fuel consumption depends on:
R
the vehicle version
R
the operating conditions
R
the fuel type in use
R
maintenance
R
driving resistance
R
your driving style
For these reasons, exact figures about any indi-
vidual vehicle's fuel consumption cannot be pro-
vided.
Information and notes on how to keep fuel con-
sumption to a minimum can be found in the
"Economical and environmentally-aware driv-
ing" section (
Y
page 309).
i The on-board computer shows information
on the average fuel consumption in the trip
data menu
ß
(
Y
page 137).
AdBlue
®
consumption
AdBlue
®
consumption with BlueTec
®
is up to
5.5 % of fuel consumption.
Engine oil consumption
After running-in the engine, oil consumption
may reach 0.2 % of the vehicle's fuel consump-
tion.
Increased distance covered and more arduous
operating conditions could result in vehicles
exceeding this value.
Limiting the speed
G
WARNING
If the vehicle combination swerves, you could
lose control of the vehicle combination. The
vehicle combination may even overturn.
There is a risk of an accident.
On no account should you attempt to
straighten up the vehicle combination by
increasing the speed. Reduce your speed and
do not countersteer. Brake if necessary.
On vehicles with a speed limiter, the maximum
speed of the vehicle is limited according to
national legal requirements, e.g. to approx-
imately 90 km/h.
The engine speed is automatically limited when
the restricted top speed is reached. Take this
into account when overtaking.
