Particulate filter  (diesel engines)
The particulate filter eliminates soot from emissions. The particles accumu-
late in the filter where they are normally burned off.
If the warning lamp  is lit up, the filter is obstructed by soot.
In order for the filter to clean itself (if the traffic conditions ⇒ 
so permit) it
is essential to drive for at least 15 minutes (or until the warning lamp
switches off) with 4th or 5th gear engaged (automatic gearbox: position S)
at a minimum speed of 60 km/h (37 mph) with the engine speed between
1800-2500 1/min.
The warning lamp  switches off once the filter has been successfully
cleaned.
If the cleaning process is not successful, the warning lamp  does not
switch off and the warning lamp  starts to flash.
The informative display indicates: Diesel particulate filter. Instruction Manual!
The engine control unit allows driving to continue in an emergency program.
When switching the ignition off and on again, the warning lamp  also
lights up.
Seek professional help.
WARNING
● The particulate filter attains very high temperatures. Therefore, do
not park the vehicle in places where the exhaust pipe could come into
contact with dry grass or with highly-flammable materials. Risk of fire!
● Always adjust your speed to suit the weather, road, terrain and traffic
conditions. Never be encouraged, by the recommendations shown in the
warning lamps, to fail to respect traffic legislation.
CAUTION
While the warning lamp  is lit up, the fuel consumption is high, and in
certain conditions, the engine power is reduced.
Note
● In order for the particulate filter to burn off soot in a correct manner,
avoid carrying out frequent short journeys.
● Using diesel fuel with a high sulphur count can considerably reduce the
useful life of the particulate filter. The specialised service provides informa-
tion about the countries where fuel with a high sulphur content is used. 
Fuel reserve 
The warning lamp  lights up when approximately only 7 litres of fuel re-
main in the tank.
