does not replace the regular tyre inflation pressure control, because the system
cannot detect an even pressure loss;

sudden steering movements and without sharp braking.

WARNING
•
The diesel particle filter achieves very high temperatures. Therefore do
not park at points where the hot filter comes into direct contact with dry
grass or other combustible materials - risk of fire!
•
Never use additional underbody protection or corrosion-protection
agents for the exhaust pipes, catalytic converters, diesel particle filter or
heat shields. When the engine reaches its operating temperature, these
substances might ignite - risk of fire.
Note
•
When using diesel fuel with high sulphur content the life of the diesel particle
filter is clearly reduced. A specialist garage will be able to tell you which countries
use only diesel fuel with high sulphur content.
