DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
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.
When a DPF message is displayed,
accompanied by an amber warning lamp, 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 60 km/h to 112 km/h
(40 mph to 70 mph). 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 (30 mph) average speed.
Note: If regeneration is not successfully
carried out, the amber warning lamp will
eventually be replaced by a red warning lamp.
Note: If diesel fuel with a high sulphur content
is used regularly, when a DPF regeneration
cycle starts the exhaust will emit a cloud of
smoke. This is the sulphur deposit being burnt
off and is no cause for concern. If possible, use
only low sulphur diesel fuel.
If a DPF message is displayed, accompanied by
a red warning lamp, contact a
Dealer/Authorised Repairer as soon as
possible.
DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES OR IN
COLD WEATHER
If the vehicle is frequently driven short
distances or in cold weather conditions then
the engine may not reach normal operating
temperature. This means that regeneration of
the diesel particle filter does not take place and
the filter is not efficiently cleaned. When the
filter reaches a condition when a filter
regeneration is appropriate and the current
drive style is not appropriate, a warning
triangle on the Instrument panel illuminates
and the message DPF Full. See manual is
displayed in the Message centre. This is not
indicating a fault condition with the vehicle and
no dealership support should be required. Start
regeneration of the filter by driving the vehicle,
preferably on a main road or motorway. The
vehicle should then be driven for approximately
20 minutes or more.
When regeneration is complete the warning
text is cleared automatically.
Note: A small increase in fuel consumption
may be noticed temporarily during
regeneration.
ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
No modifications or additions should
be made to the anti-theft system. Such
changes could cause the system to
malfunction.
