Changing Vehicle Speed Maximum Setting - Ford TRANSIT 2016.75 Mounting Manual

Vehicles fitted with DPF, running under RPM Speed
Control with the engine running under load at
elevated idle, may produce soot build up over time.
With the vehicle stationary, the DPF is unable to
start a regeneration event. It is therefore
recommended that vehicle converters advise
operators to break up any long periods under RPM
Speed Control operation with some normal driving
to permit the DPF to regenerate. Rapid cycling of
the engine RPM, while in the RPM Speed Control
mode, should be restricted where possible, as RPM
transients increase soot generation rate. Where
the anticipated use for RPM Speed Control is
expected to be for longer durations, it is strongly
recommended that the Operator Commanded
Regeneration (OCR) option is also specified in
conjunction with RPM Speed Control (check with
your local Ford dealer for availability of option).
OCR allows the driver/operator to manually
perform a DPF regeneration while the vehicle is
stationary, after confirming that it is safe to do so.
WARNING: Do not park or idle your vehicle
over dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible material. The DPF
regeneration process creates very high
exhaust gas temperatures. The exhaust
will radiate a considerable amount of heat
during and after DPF regeneration and
after you have switched the engine off.
This is a potential fire hazard.
For additional information on DPF
Refer to: 3.7 Exhaust System (page 79).
