Diesel particle filter
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact with
hot parts of the exhaust system or exhaust
gas flow. There is a risk of fire.
Park the vehicle so that no flammable mate-
rial can come into contact with hot vehicle
components. In particular, do not park on dry
grassland or harvested grain fields.
BlueTec
®
6 vehicles are equipped with a diesel
particle filter.
!
During automatic and manual regeneration,
extremely hot exhaust gases escape from the
exhaust pipe. Maintain a distance of at least
one metre to other objects, e.g. parked vehi-
cles, in order to avoid damage to property.
If the regeneration period exceeds 3 hours dur-
ing a journey, switch on the regeneration block
(
Y
page 312).
If too many particles collect in the diesel particle
filter, the
Â
indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up. The on-board computer then
instructs you with a yellow event window to start
manual regeneration (
Y
page 158). Manual
regeneration lasts approximately 30 minutes up
to a maximum of 60 minutes (
Y
page 312).
! If you drive the vehicle predominantly over
short distances or with low loads, the regen-
eration period may be considerably
increased. Therefore, the fuel consumption
increases and the range of exhaust system
functions may be impaired.
If you do not observe the yellow event windows
and their instructions, you risk:
R
a reduction in engine performance
R
having to replace the diesel particle filter

i When in the on-board computer the mes-
sage
É
Engine speed increase
appears, the "HC burn-off" feature reduces
deposits of hydrocarbons in the catalytic con-
verter.
This is done by increasing the engine speed.
The process cannot be cancelled once the
message has appeared.
When the process is completed, the message
disappears automatically.
"HC burn-off" does not regenerate the diesel
particle filter.
Automatic regeneration
When the green
É
indicator lamp lights up in
the instrument cluster, automatic regeneration
of the diesel particle filter is in progress.
Automatic regeneration is only carried out while
the vehicle is in motion.
Automatic regeneration only begins when all
operating conditions have been fulfilled, e.g.
sufficiently high engine oil and coolant temper-
ature. If an operating condition is no longer ful-
filled while regeneration is in process, the
É
indicator lamp goes out and the regeneration is
interrupted. When all operating conditions are
fulfilled again, the regeneration starts again
automatically. Therefore, avoid interruptions in
driving as long as the
É
indicator lamp is lit.
i The engine noise and the engine idling
speed may change while regeneration is in
process.
