or more).
Diesel Particulate Filter (if equipped)
Operating precautions for catalytic
converters (if equipped)
The Diesel  Particulate Filter  (DPF)  sys-
tem removes  the  soot emitted  from the
vehicle.
Do not modify  or tamper with any part
of the  engine or emission  control sys-
tem. We  recommend that  the  system
Unlike  a  disposable  air  filter,  the  DPF
system   automatically  burns   (oxidizes)
and   removes   the   accumulated    soot
according  to   the  driving   condition.  In
other words, the active burning by engine
control  system   and  high  exhaust   gas
temperature caused by normal/high driv-
ing  condition   burns  and   removes  the
accumulated soot.
WARNING - Fire
A  hot  exhaust  system  can   ignite
flammable  items  under your  vehi-
cle.  Do not park the vehicle over or
near  flammable   objects,  such  as
grass,   vegetation,  paper,   leaves,
etc.

Avoid driving with a very low fuel  level.
If  you  run   out  of  gasoline,   it  could
cause the engine  to misfire and  result
in  excessive  loading  of  the  catalytic
converter.
Your vehicle  is equipped with  a catalytic
converter emission control device.
Failure  to   observe   these  precautions
could  result in  damage  to  the  catalytic
However,  if the  vehicle  continues to  be
driven  at  low  speed  for long  time,  the
accumulated soot  may not  be automati-
cally  removed  because  of low  exhaust
gas temperature. In  this particular  case,
the  amount  of soot  is  out  of  detection
limit,   the   soot   oxidation   process   by
engine  control system  may  not happen
and  the malfunction  indicator  light  may
blink.
Therefore,   the   following    precautions
must be observed:

Additionally, such actions could void your
warranties.
Use only  UNLEADED FUEL for  gaso-
line engine.
Do not operate the  vehicle when there
are signs  of engine  malfunction, such
as misfire  or a  noticeable loss of  per-
formance.
Do  not  misuse or  abuse  the  engine.
Examples of misuse  are coasting with
the ignition  off  and descending  steep
grades in gear with the ignition off.
When   the  malfunction    indicator   light
blinks, it may stop  blinking by driving the
vehicle at more than 60km/h (37 mph) or
at  more than  second gear  with  1500 ~
2000 engine  rpm  for a  certain time  (for
about 25 minutes).
