The d iesel pa rticle filter system removes
polluting soot particles out of the engine
exhaust gases. The system includes a self-
cleaning function (regeneration) that
opera tes automatically while driving. The
filter is cleaned by burning the trapped
soot particles at a high temperature. There
may be an increase in fuel consumption,
exhaust smell, and engine cooling fan
operation during regeneration.

2)
With the engine at normal operating
temperature, maintain an average speed
of approx. 40 mph (60 km/h) until control
indicator 8 extinguishes. In some cases
this can take up to 20 minutes.
Failing to achieve these speeds or an
interruption to your journey may prevent
regeneration taking place. The
regeneration process will then need to be
restarted.
If control indicator 8 fails to extinguish or
8 illuminates in conjunction with control
indicator A , consult a workshop to have
the cause of the fault eliminated.

During regeneration white smoke can be
emitted from the exhaust which is not
detrimental to the vehicle.

diesel particle filter, ensure road
conditions will allow the vehicle to safely
travel at speeds in excess of approx.
40 mph (60 km/h) for up to 20 minutes.
2)
