If the warning light
comes on, this means that soot has accumulated in the diesel
particle filter because of the frequent short distances.
In order to clean the diesel particle filter, the vehicle should be driven at an even
speed of at least 60 km/h at engine speeds of 1 800 - 2 500 rpm for 15 minutes or
until the warning light goes out with the 4th or 5th gear engaged (automatic
gearbox: position S) when the traffic situation permits it. This increases the exhaust
temperature and the soot deposited in the diesel particle filter is burnt.
