Regeneration takes about 15–20 minutes and the
exhaust silencer is very hot during this time. During
certain driving situations, e.g. if the speed is low and
the exhaust temperature is high, the temperature of the
silencer can be extremely high. In such cases the
symbol "High temperature, exhaust system" is shown
in the display. Avoid driving or stopping the truck at
an unsuitable place, i.e. in a tunnel, across a field, or
close to inflammable material or gases.
If your driving style is such that an accumulation of
soot particles occurs, the blue information lamp
"INFO" will light and the symbol for soot/ash in the
filter will be displayed. As long as these icons are not
shown, there is no reason to change your
driving style.
Manual regeneration of the particulate filter
During certain driving situations, regeneration is not
initiated automatically. It can be due to situations such
as continuous driving (several hours) at low engine
load or continuous idling. In these cases it may be
necessary to start regeneration manually.
When the regeneration process must be started
manually, this is shown on the display as below.
