to burn. On completion of the cleaning the
warning lamp will switch off.
If the lamp does not turn off, or the three
lamps turn on (particulate filter , fault in
the emission control system and glow
plugs ), drive the vehicle to a specialised
workshop and have the fault repaired at the
earliest opportunity.
WARNING
●
Always drive according to the road weather
conditions, the terrain and traffic.
●
The particulate filter attains very high tem-
peratures. Therefore, do not park the vehicle
in places where the exhaust pipe could come
into contact with dry grass or with highly-
flammable materials. Risk of fire!
CAUTION
While the warning lamp is lit up, the fuel
consumption is high, and in certain condi-
tions, the engine power is reduced.
Note
In order for the particulate filter to burn off
●
soot in a correct manner, avoid carrying out
frequent short journeys.
Using diesel fuel with a high sulphur count
●
can considerably reduce the useful life of the
particulate filter. The specialised service pro-
vides information about the countries where
fuel with a high sulphur content is used.
