NOTE Damage due to hot exhaust gases
During regeneration, extremely hot exhaust
gases escape from the tailpipe.
#
During regeneration, maintain a mini‐
mum distance of 2 m from other
objects, e.g. parked vehicles.
Starting and cancelling regeneration
Requirements:
R
all system requirements have been met.
R
the load condition of the diesel particulate fil‐
ter is above 50 %.
R
the vehicle is being driven.

If your vehicle is equipped with a diesel par‐
ticulate filter load display or a regeneration
display, you can view this via the multifunc‐
tion display. If necessary, you can request
regeneration of the diesel particulate filter via
the regeneration display. (

NOTE Damage due to hot exhaust gases
During regeneration, extremely hot exhaust
gases escape from the tailpipe.
#
During regeneration, maintain a mini‐
mum distance of 2 m from other
objects, e.g. parked vehicles.
If the vehicle is used under normal operating con‐
ditions, it is not necessary to additionally request
regeneration.

Select
Request regeneration:
OK
.
The
Manual regeneration requested
message
appears.
Depending on the operating status and the
ambient conditions, it can take up to
20 minutes until regeneration starts.
The
Regeneration active
message appears
when regeneration starts. Regeneration lasts
approx. 15 minutes.
#
During regeneration, drive with an engine
speed of at least 2000 rpm, as far as is possi‐
ble.
The temperature increase generated helps
support the diesel particulate filter's burn-off
process.
#
To cancel regeneration: switch off the
engine.
Regeneration is cancelled. If regeneration is
not completed, you can restart regeneration
after starting the engine.
Depending on the load condition of the diesel
particulate filter, regeneration starts automat‐
ically when next driving.
Battery main switch
Notes on the battery main switch
*
NOTE Damage to the electrical system
If you remove or disconnect the battery main
switch, it could lead to the electrical system
becoming damaged.
#
Make sure that the ignition is switched
off and that at least 15 minutes have
passed before removing or reconnecting
the battery main switch. Otherwise,
electrical system components could be
damaged.
You can use the battery main switch to discon‐
nect the current to all your vehicle's consumers.
This will prevent uncontrolled battery discharge
caused by quiescent current consumers.
If your vehicle is equipped with an auxiliary bat‐
tery in the engine compartment or in the base of
the co-driver's seat, you must disconnect both
batteries. Only then is the electrical system fully
disconnected from the power supply.
%
Only disconnect the vehicle from the power
supply using the battery main switch in the
following situations:
R
the vehicle is stationary for a long time
R
it is absolutely necessary to disconnect
the vehicle from the power supply
After switching on the power supply, you will
need to reset the side windows (
/
page 58)
and the electric sliding door (
/
page 53).
%
A break in the power supply is entered in the
DTCO (digital tachograph) as an event in the
fault memory.
See the separate DTCO operating instruc‐
tions.
