In order to clean the filter, and where traffic conditions permit
should be driven at an even speed of at least 60 km/h at engine speeds of 1
800 - 2 500 rpm for at least 15 minutes or until the warning light goes out with
the 4th or 5th gear engaged (automatic gearbox: position S).
The
warning light only goes out once the diesel particulate filter has been
successfully cleaned.
If the filter is not properly cleaned, the warning light
the warning light
begins to flash.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display.
Diesel particulate filter: Log book!
The engine control unit allows the vehicle to run in emergency mode. After
switching the ignition off and on again the indicator light, the indicator light
also lights up.
Seek help from a specialist garage.
WARNING
The diesel particulate filter reaches very high temperatures - there is a
■
fire hazard and serious injury could be caused. Therefore, never stop the
vehicle at places where the underside of your vehicle can come into contact
with flammable materials such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled
fuel or such like.
Always adjust your speed to suit weather, road, region and traffic condi-
■
tions. The recommendations indicated by the warning light must not tempt
you to disregard the national regulations for road traffic.
CAUTION
As long as the warning light
lights up, one must take into account an in-
creased fuel consumption and in certain circumstances a power reduction of
the engine.
Note
We recommend avoiding regularly driving short distances to assist the com-
■
bustion process of the soot particles in the filter.
Using diesel fuel with an increased sulphur content can considerably reduce
■
the service life of the filter. A ŠKODA Service Partner will be able to tell you
which countries use diesel fuel with a high sulphur content.
If the engine is turned off during the filter cleaning process or shortly after-
■
wards, the cooling fan may turn on automatically for a few minutes.
