Regeneration process MIC 70

WARNING
Risk of burns due to the regeneration process
Only start manual regeneration in non-flammable areas.
During the regeneration process, the deposited soot parti-
cles will be burned and very hot exhaust gases (up to
600 °C) could escape.

13.1 Description of regeneration

The vehicle is equipped with a diesel particulate filter.
● The diesel particulate filter holds back the soot particles
until they are burned at very high temperatures; this pro-
cess is called regeneration. The regeneration process is
carried out either automatically in driving mode but can
also be started manually if required.
● The more frequently the vehicle is driven at high speeds
or with loads, the less often will a regeneration process
have to take place.
● The regeneration process takes place in various stages,
depending on the stored amount of soot.
● The regeneration process can be preselected: <Auto>
or <Inhibit> (locked). The settings can be selected when
the start display is booting up.
● If <Auto> is selected, the control electronics automati-
cally start the regeneration process if there are too many
soot particles in the diesel particulate filter.
● If <Inhibit> (locked) is selected, automatic regeneration
is prevented and only <Parked Regeneration> is possi-
ble. The vehicle needs to be parked for <Parked Regen-
eration>.
Note
A detailed description of the regeneration process can be
found in the following chapters.
13.2 Regeneration <Automatic>
This display lights up during automatic regenera-
tion.
80
The display also temporarily lights up during the
regeneration process.
13.3 Regeneration <Stage 1>
If the amount of soot particles in the diesel partic-
ulate filter necessitating regeneration is reached,
then this will be shown together with the text mes-
sage in the display.
Stage 1: Press <x> to start automatic regeneration.
13.4 Regeneration <Stage 2>
If automatic mode is disabled, or the control elec-
tronics cannot start the regeneration process, the
display will flash and text messages will appear.
Stage 2: Automatic regeneration is now still possible or
starting a <Parked Regeneration>. Press <x>.
Note
The regeneration process <Parked Regeneration> is de-
scribed in a later chapter.
