When regeneration is complete the warning
text is cleared automatically.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
Note: A small increase in fuel consumption
may be noticed temporarily during
regeneration.
Diesel vehicles equipped with a particle filter
have more efficient emission control. The
particles in the exhaust gases are collected in
the filter during normal driving.
ROAD TESTING DYNAMOMETERS
(ROLLING ROADS)
It is essential that any dynamometer testing is
carried out only by a qualified person, familiar
with the dynamometer testing and safety
procedures practised by a Dealers/Authorised
Repairers.
When a DPF message is displayed, the filter
requires a regeneration cycle to clean itself.
This requires the engine to have reached
normal operating temperature. Regeneration
takes place automatically at an interval of
approximately 300-900 km (190-560 miles)
depending on driving conditions. Regeneration
normally takes 10-20 minutes and is
automatically requested by the engine control
module if the vehicle is driven steadily at
vehicle speeds between 40mph to 70mph. It is
possible that the regeneration process will
occur at lower vehicle speeds, but the events
may take a little longer at a 50 km/h (30mph)
average speed.
SAFETY IN THE GARAGE
If the vehicle has been driven
recently, do not touch the engine,
exhaust and cooling system
components until the engine has
cooled.
Never leave the engine running in an
unventilated area - exhaust gases are
poisonous and extremely dangerous.
