Wiper Blade Replacement - Chevrolet Captiva OM C140 Manuals

Diesel Particle Filter
The diesel particle filter system filters
harmful soot particles out of the
exhaust gases. The system includes
a self-cleaning function that runs
automatically during driving. The
filter is cleaned by burning off the
soot particles at high temperature.
This process takes place
automatically under set driving
conditions and may take more than
15 minutes. The emission of smells
and smoke during this process is
normal.
Under certain driving conditions, e.g.
short distances, the system cannot
clean itself automatically.
If the filter requires cleaning or
previous driving conditions did not
enable automatic cleaning, DPF
indicator illuminates or flashes. The
indicator will go off the self-cleaning
operation is complete.
Stopping the journey or switching off
the engine during cleaning is not
recommended.
{Warning
Be sure the following precautions
are taken because the exhaust
parts are raised to high
temperature during regeneration of
DPF.
Things that can burn could touch
hot exhaust parts under your
vehicle and ignite. Do not place
your vehicle over papers, leaves,
dry grass or other things that can
burn.
Turn the ignition OFF as soon as
your vehicle enters a garage.
Do not go near the hot exhaust
parts including exhaust tail pipe.

Wiper blade replacement

Properly functioning windshield
wipers are essential for clear vision
and safe driving. Regularly check the
condition of the wiper blades.
Replace hard, brittle or cracked
blades or those that smear dirt on the
windshield.
Foreign material on the windshield or
wiper blades can reduce the
effectiveness of the wipers. If the
blades are not wiping properly, clean
both the windshield and the blades
with a good cleaner or mild
detergent. Rinse them thoroughly
with water.
Repeat the process, if necessary.
There is no way to remove traces of
silicone from glass. Therefore never
apply silicone polish or wax polish to
your vehicle's windshield or you will
get streak, blade chatter or blade
noise that impairs the driver's vision.
