CAUTION
Do not perform the manual DPF regeneration in
a place where there are flammable materials,
such as dead grass or paper. During the manual
DPF regeneration, all surfaces of and around
the exhaust pipe and muffler as well as the
exhaust gases are extremely hot and nearby
flammable materials can catch fire easily. Also,
keep all people away from the exhaust pipe and
muffler. Should anyone touch the exhaust pipe,
muffler or other hot surfaces or expose any part
of his/her body the exhaust gases, he/she could
get burned.
1. Park the vehicle in a safe place and warm up the
engine.
2. Firmly set the parking brake and place the gear-
shift lever in the neutral position if your vehicle is
equipped with a manual transmission, or place
the selector lever in the “P” position <other than
FM65F> or “N” position <FM65F> if your vehicle
is equipped with an automatic transmission. Do
not depress the accelerator pedal. If you are in a
manual transmission vehicle, depress neither
the accelerator pedal nor the clutch pedal.
3. With the engine still in operation, continuously
press the “ON” side of the DPF cleaning switch
until the indicator lamp stops flashing
and shifts to continuous illumination. The engine
will increase its idling speed (to approx. 1500
rpm) to start the manual DPF regeneration. The
exhaust brake valve may also operate during
the manual DPF regeneration.
NOTE:
The manual DPF regeneration sequence does not
start under the following conditions:
•
The engine coolant temperature is too low.
(Then the engine must be warmed up.)
•
The accelerator pedal or clutch pedal (manual
transmission vehicle) is depressed.
•
The parking brake is released.
