You may encounter any or all of the following condi-
tions. They are due to the actions particular to the
oxidation catalyst inside the diesel particulate filter
(DPF) and do not indicate any abnormalities.
•
White smoke from the exhaust pipe when set-
ting the vehicle in motion after idling the engine
for a relatively long-time or when accelerating
the vehicle.
•
White smoke from the exhaust pipe when the
vehicle starts off immediately after the engine is
started.
•
The exhaust smells irritating (with a vinegar-like
odor).
1. When the engine has started, remove your foot
from the clutch pedal.
2. Continue warming up the engine until the water
temperature gauge needle moves.
Stopping the engine
WARNING
•
Never allow the vehicle to coast with the
engine stopped as braking may be ineffec-
tive and steering difficult when engine is
not running. This may also cause trouble
in the fuel injection system.
•
The engine and exhaust pipe are
extremely hot just after stopping the vehi-
cle. Avoid parking the vehicle where the
exhaust pipe could set fire to materials
such as dry grass.
•
Do not stop the engine for parking with the
steering wheel fully turned to either direc-
tion. This will cause the power steering
system pressure to drop, thus causing the
steering wheel to return rapidly, possibly
injuring you.
