Diesel particulate filter
Applies to: vehicles with diesel particulate filter

|
Particulate filter: system fault. See owner's
manual
The diesel particulate filter requires regenera­

tion.
You can assist the self-cleaning function of
the filter by driving as follows:
Drive at a speed of at least 60 km/h for about
15 minutes in 4th or 5th gear (on vehicles with
manual gearbox), or with the selector lever in po­
sition S (on vehicles with automatic gearbox).
Keep the engine speed at about 2000
rpm.
As a
result of the increase in temperature, the soot in
the filter will be burned off. The indicator lamp
will go out once the cleaning process has been
completed successfully.
If the indicator lamp does not go out, drive to a
qualified workshop without delay and have the
fault rectified.
A WARNING
It is essential that you adjust your speed to
suit the weather,
road,
terrain and traffic
con­

ditions. The recommended driving speed
must never lead to the driver disregarding the
traffic regulations.

ulate filter, refer to
