Diesel particulate filter
Notes on regeneration
&
DANGER Risk of death caused by
exhaust gases
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling
these exhaust gases is hazardous to health
and leads to poisoning.
#
Never leave the engine or, if present,
the auxiliary heating running in an
enclosed space without sufficient venti‐
lation.
&
WARNING Risk of fire caused by hot
exhaust system parts
Flammable materials such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite.
#
Park the vehicle so that no flammable
material can come into contact with hot
vehicle components.
#
In particular, do not park on dry grass‐
land or harvested grain fields.
Regeneration without interruption takes approx.
15 minutes.
If the vehicle is predominantly used for short dis‐
tance driving or extended non-operational times,
this could lead to a malfunction in the automatic
cleaning function for the diesel particulate filter.
As a result, permanent blocking of the diesel par‐
ticulate filter may occur. and fuel may also accu‐
mulate in the engine oil and cause engine failure.
If you mainly drive short distances, you should
drive on a freeway or go for a country drive for 20
minutes every 500 km (300 miles). This facili‐
tates the diesel particulate filter's burn-off proc‐
ess.

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 7 ft (2 m) from other
objects, e.g. parked vehicles.

NOTE Damage to the electrical system
If you remove 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 the battery
main switch. Otherwise, electrical sys‐
tem 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.
