Diesel p artic le filter
3
The d iesel pa rticle filter system filters
harmful soot pa rticles out of the exha ust
gases. The system includes a self-cleaning
func tion that run automatically d uring
driving. The filter is cleaned by b urning off
the soot particles at high temperature. This
process takes place automa tic ally under
set driving conditions and may take up to
25 minutes. Fuel consumption may be
higher during this period. The emission of
smells and smoke during this p rocess is
normal.
Und er certain driving conditions, e.g. short
distances, the system cannot c lean itself
autom atic ally.
If the filter requires cleaning and prev ious
driving conditions did not enable
autom atic cleaning, control indicator
!
flashes. Continue driving, keep ing engine
speed above 2000 rpm
-1
. Shift down if
necessary. Diesel particle filter cleaning is
then initiated.
We recommend that you do not stop your
journey or switch off the ignition during
cleaning. Cleaning takes pla ce m ost
quickly at high engine sp eeds and high
loads.
