DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
The filter forms part of the emissionsreduction system on your vehicle. It filtersharmful diesel particulates (soot) from theexhaust gas.
Regeneration
WARNINGS
Do not park or idle your vehicle overdry leaves, dry grass or othercombustible materials. Theregeneration process creates very highexhaust gas temperatures and the exhaustwill radiate a considerable amount of heatduring and after regeneration and after youhave switched the engine off. This is apotential fire hazard.
Avoid running out of fuel.
Note:During regeneration at low speed orengine idle, you may smell a hot metallicodour and could notice a clicking metallicsound. This is due to the high temperaturesreached during regeneration and is normal.
Note:After you have switched your engineoff the fans may continue to run for a shortperiod of time.
A normal filter requires periodicreplacement. The diesel particulate filteron your vehicle requires periodicregeneration to maintain its correctfunction. Your vehicle will carry out thisprocess automatically.
If your journeys meet one of the followingconditions:
•You drive only short distances.
•You frequently switch the ignition onand off.
•Your journeys contain a high level ofacceleration and deceleration.
87Starting and Stopping the Engine

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine You must carry out occasional trips withthe following conditions to assist theregeneration process:
•Drive your vehicle in more favourableconditions, which you will find at highervehicle speeds in normal driving, on amain road or motorway for a minimumof 20 minutes. This drive may includeshort stops that will not affect theregeneration process.
•Avoid prolonged idling and alwaysobserve speed limits and roadconditions.
•Do not switch the ignition off.
•Select a suitable gear to ideallymaintain engine speed between 1500and 3000 RPM.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
Vehicles With a Turbocharger
WARNING
Do not switch the engine off when itis running at high speed. If you do, theturbocharger will continue runningafter the engine oil pressure has droppedto zero. This will lead to prematureturbocharger bearing wear.
Release the accelerator pedal. Wait untilthe engine has reached idle speed and thenswitch it off.
88Starting and Stopping the Engine

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine START-STOP
Note:For vehicles with start-stop thebattery requirement is different. It must bereplaced by one of exactly the samespecification as the original.
The system reduces fuel consumption andCO2 emissions by shutting down theengine when your vehicle is idling, forexample at traffic lights. The engine willautomatically restart when you press theclutch pedal or when required by a vehiclesystem, for example to recharge thebattery.
To obtain maximum benefit from thesystem, move the transmission selectorlever to neutral and release the clutchpedal during any stop of longer than threeseconds.
Using Start-Stop
WARNINGS
The engine may restartautomatically if required by thesystem.
Switch the ignition off beforeopening the bonnet or carrying outany maintenance.
Always switch the ignition off beforeleaving your vehicle, as the systemmay have shut down the engine butthe ignition will still be live.

5.Slightly raise the fuel nozzle to removeit.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
Note:The amount of usable fuel in theempty reserve varies and should not berelied upon to increase driving range. Whenrefuelling your vehicle after the fuel gaugeindicates empty, you might not be able torefuel the full amount of the advertisedcapacity of the fuel tank due to the emptyreserve still present in the tank.
The CO2 and fuel consumption figures arederived from laboratory tests according toRegulation (EC) 715/2007 and subsequentamendments are carried out by all vehiclemanufacturers.
They are intended as a comparisonbetween makes and models of vehicles.They are not intended to represent the realworld fuel consumption you may get fromyour vehicle. Real world fuel consumptionis governed by many factors including:driving style, high speed driving, stop-startdriving, air conditioning usage, theaccessories fitted, payload, towing, etc.
The advertised capacity is the indicatedcapacity and the empty reserve combined.Indicated capacity is the difference in theamount of fuel in a full tank and a tankwhen the fuel gauge indicates empty.Empty reserve is the amount of fuel in thetank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.
Filling the Tank
For consistent results when filling the fueltank:
•Switch the ignition off before fuelling.An inaccurate reading results if youleave the engine running.
•Use the same fill rate(low-medium-high) each time the tankis filled.
•Allow no more than two automaticshut-offs when filling.
Results are most accurate when the fillingmethod is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during thefirst 1000 miles (1600 km) of driving (thisis your engine’s running-in period). A moreaccurate measurement is obtained after2000 - 3000 miles (3200 - 4800 km).Also, fuel expense, frequency of fill ups orfuel gauge readings are not accurate waysto measure fuel economy.
1.Fill the fuel tank completely and recordthe initial odometer reading.
2.Each time you fill the tank, record theamount of fuel added.
95Fuel and Refuelling

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 3.After at least three to five tank fill ups,fill the fuel tank and record the currentodometer reading.
4.Subtract your initial odometer readingfrom the current odometer reading.
5.Calculate fuel economy by dividingmiles travelled by gallons used (ForMetric: Multiply litres used by 100, thendivide by kilometres travelled).
Keep a record for at least one month andrecord the type of driving (city ormotorway). This provides an accurateestimate of your vehicle’s fuel economyunder current driving conditions.Additionally, keeping records duringsummer and winter show how temperatureimpacts fuel economy. In general, lowertemperatures mean lower fuel economy.
