Diesel Fuel Filter

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.
