Diesel particulate filter
r-f'n First read and observe the Introductory L-J,:,.IJ Information and safety warnings & on page 407.
The diesel particulate filter filters out soot particles in the exhaust gas. The soot particles gather in the filter and are burnt under high temperatures peri-odically (regeneration). Heat produced can warm the engine.
Regeneration can cause noises, light smells and delay in radiator fan irrespective of the outside temperature, even after the engine is switched off.
To assist the regeneration of diesel particle filter, Volkswagen recommends that you avoid making only short journeys. In vehicles with a DSG® dual clutch gearbox the engine speed can increase while the vehicle is being driven. However, the indi-cator lamp • will not light up.
Observe the following points to ensure that the ex-haust system and the diesel particulate filter will work properly for a long time:
the nearest qualified workshop. If this happens, un-bumt fuel can enter the exhaust system and es-cape into the atmosphere. The catalytic converter can also be damaged by overheating.
Even when the exhaust purification system is W working perfectly, there may be a smell of sulphur from the exhaust in some conditions. This depends on the sulphur content of the fuel being used. <1
• Only use diesel with low sulphur levels 343.
• Never use biodiesel, petrol or heating oil.
• Do not allow the fuel tank to run empty.
• Do not overfill engine oil 353.
• Do not tow-start the vehicle. Use jump leads =page 443.

Fuses in the engine compartment . . . . . . . . . . 431 Changing a blown fuse ................... 431
At the time of print we are unable to provide an up-to-date overview of the locations of the fuses for the electrical consumers. This is because the vehi-cle is under constant development, because fuses are assigned differently depending on the vehicle equipment level and because several consumers may use a single fuse. You can get more informa-tion about the fuse layout from a Volkswagen Com-mercial Vehicles dealership.
Several electrical consumers could share a single fuse. Conversely, a single consumer could have more than one fuse.
Therefore fuses should only be replaced when the cause of the fault has been rectified. If a new fuse blows shortly after insertion, have the electrical system checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
A WARNING
Driving with an unsealed tyre is dangerous as it can cause accidents and serious Injuries.
• Do not carry on driving if the tyre pressure Is 1.3 bar (19 psi /130 kPa) or lower.
• Seek expert assistance.
• Drink holder =>page 153
• Preparation for working in the engine compart-ment =>page 350
