uuDiesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Regeneration
If you see on the driver information
interface, you need to regenerate the DPF:
• Drive your vehicle at a speed of 20 km/h (12
mph) or over until the symbol disappears.
u It takes about 30 minutes to increase the
catalytic converter temperature to burn
out and remove PM.
1Regenerating DPF
NOTICE
If you ignore the symbol and do not regenerate the
DPF, the driver information interface changes to the
DPF warning symbol. If this happens, take your
vehicle to a dealer as soon as possible. Engine oil is
required to be checked and replaced, if necessary.
Continuously ignoring the driver information
interface warning symbol causes the DPF to be
clogged with PM, seriously damaging the DPF and
emission control systems, which may need
replacement.
To minimise the accumulation of PM, always use the
recommended diesel fuel.
2 Fuel Information P. 258
PM is accumulated in the catalytic converter when
you drive at a low speed for a long period of time or
by frequent short journeys.
