WARNING
The driving speed must always be
suitable for traffic and weather
conditions and the driver must always comply
with the Highway Code.The engine may be
switched off even if the DPF warning light is on:
repeated interruptions of the regeneration
process could cause an early deterioration of
engine oil. For this reason it is always advisable
to wait for the light to go off before turning
off the engine, following the instructions above.
It is not a good idea to complete DPF
regeneration with the car stationary.
