tem removes the soot emitted from the
vehicle.

Do not modify or tamper with any part
of the engine or emission control sys-

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-

cause the engine to misfire and result
in excessive loading of the catalytic
converter.

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:

Do not operate the vehicle when there
are signs of engine malfunction, such
as misfire or a noticeable loss of per-

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).
