rise in temperature causes the soot on the fil-
ter 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

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-
Driving

fuel with a high sulphur content is used.
Engine management* 
