– Passive regeneration naturally burns off soot when
exhaust temperatures are high enough
– Active regeneration (forced burn-off) occurs as
needed, depending on operational use
NOTE: For more specific information about
the regeneration process, please refer to the

beneficial to have the option of a manual DPF
