Driving tips/Diesel particulate filter (diesel engine models)
WARNING
.
Avoid fire hazards. Do not drive
or park the vehicle anywhere
near flammable materials (e.g.
grass, paper, rags or leaves),
because the catalytic converter
operates at very high tempera-
tures.
.
Keep everyone and flammable
materials away from the exhaust
pipe while the engine is running.
The exhaust gas is very hot.
Diesel particulate filter (die-
sel engine models)
1) Catalytic converter
2) Diesel particulate filter
The diesel particulate filter is a device that
eliminates particulate matter in the ex-
haust gas of a diesel engine.
In most cases, the accumulated soot is
automatically burned in the filter while
driving. However, accumulated soot in the
filter is not burned if you drive the vehicle
under the following conditions.
.
when the vehicle is continuously driven
at 15 km/h (9 mph) or less
.
when the vehicle is driven without
sufficient preheating or the vehicle is
repeatedly driven for only a short period
of time
.
when the vehicle is idling for a long
time
