Diesel Particle Filter - Vauxhall VIVARO Owner's Manual

104 Catalytic converter, exhaust emissions
Control indicator A for engine
electronics
Lights up for a few seconds when ignition is
switched on.
If the light comes on when the engine is
running, there is a fault in the engine
electronics. The electronics switch to the
emergency running programme, fuel
consumption may increase and the
driveability of the vehicle may be affected.
In some cases the fault can be eliminated
by switching the engine off and back on
again. If the control indicator lights up
again when the engine is running, consult a
workshop to have the cause of the fault
eliminated. We recommend your Vauxhall
Authorised Repairer.

Diesel particle filter

Even during normal use, there is still a
possibilty that the diesel particle filter may
become partially blocked. The filter is
automatically cleaned under certain
driving conditions, however when 8 is
illuminated the diesel particle filter requires
driver induced regeneration
9
Before attempting regeneration of the
diesel particle filter, ensure road
conditions will allow the vehicle to safely
travel at speeds in excess of approx.
40 mph (60 km/h) for up to 20 minutes.
1)
During regeneration white smoke can be
emitted from the exhaust which is not
detrimental to the vehicle.
To carry out regeneration
With the engine at normal operating
temperature, maintain an average speed
of approx. 40 mph (60 km/h) until 8 goes
out. In some cases this can take up to 20
minutes.
Failing to achieve these speeds or an
interuption to your journey may prevent
regeneration taking place. The
regeneration process will then need to be
restarted.
If 8 fails to extinguish or 8 illuminates in
conjunction with A, consult a workshop to
have the cause of the fault eliminated. We
