DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER

The DPF forms part of the emissions
reduction systems fitted to your vehicle. It
filters harmful diesel particulates (soot)
from the exhaust gas.
Regeneration
WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The DPF
regeneration process creates very high
exhaust gas temperatures and 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.
Avoid running out of fuel.
Note: During regeneration at low speed or
engine idle, you may smell a hot metallic
odour and could notice a clicking metallic
sound. This is due to the high temperatures
reached during regeneration and is normal.
