The soot particles, which result from the combustion of diesel fuel, are
collected in the diesel particle filter. If soot particles have gathered in the
filter, the engine control unit gives the injection system a command for an
additional injection of fuel with additive into the cylinders. The additive is
located in a special reservoir in the fuel tank. A higher temperature in the
entire diesel particle filter is achieved as a result of this and thus self-igni-
tion and following combustion of soot particles occurs. The regeneration
procedure lasts about 2 to 3 minutes and is performed without driver inter-
ference.
