Quick Reference Guide
Regenerating DPF
The Emission Aftertreatment System (EAS) is equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter
(DPF) which must be cleaned (regenerated).
For most types of operation regeneration will be handled automatically by the vehicle
without any driver involvement.
Familiarise yourself with the DPF switch, the three levels of regeneration, their
warnings and what action to take. Make sure that you have enough AdBlue for your
journey.
There are three types of regeneration:
Passive regeneration
Automatic regeneration of the DPF above a certain temperature. No intervention
required by the driver and no indication on the master display.
Active regeneration
Regeneration when driving, triggered by the engine management system (EMS).
No intervention by the driver needed.
NOTE: When at low speed
or with the vehicle stationary
(during forced stationary
regeneration) the yellow
coloured high exhaust
system temperature (HEST)
is shown in the instrument
panel, take care that no
people, vehicles, animals or
combustible materials are
within 2 metres of the
exhaust outlet.

Quick Reference Guide
Forced stationary regeneration
When Passive and Active Regeneration is not sufficient the system will prompt that a
forced stationary regeneration is required.
A forced stationary regeneration is performed at stand-still and triggered by the driver.
To prevent the engine derating power, perform regeneration of the DPF as soon as
safely possible.
Four different levels of pop-up messages are possible to warn you the DPF must be
regenerated stationary.
1. Soot level high. Regeneration required (yellow).
An alternative to overcome this is to take the motorway route which will
clear the soot via passive regeneration.
If ignored this warning will re-appear at the next and subsequent
key cycles.
2. Soot level too high. Start regeneration immediately (yellow).
Again, to overcome this is to take the motorway route.
3. Soot level full. Regeneration required now (yellow).
The engine derates power and a forced stationary regeneration is
required as soon as safely possible.
4. Soot level full. Service required (red).
The engine derates power and an authorised DAF Service dealer must
service the vehicle.
It is no longer possible to perform a forced stationary regeneration.
Safety checks
Before starting a forced stationary regeneration, make sure that following safety checks
have been met:
– The vehicle is parked outside with a minimum of 2 metres clear space around the
exhaust discharge pipe.
– The park brake is applied.
– The engine is running at idle speed.
– The vehicle is NOT left unattended.
– The coolant temperature is above 65 degrees.

Performing forced stationary regeneration
When all safety checks have been met,
press up the DPF switch (1) once to
allow the engine management system
(EMS) to carry out a self check. Follow
the instructions on the instrument
panel.
Press the switch up again to start the
forced stationary regeneration process.
NOTE: Switch off (down) to
stop or inhibit regeneration
when working inside or when
entering a hazardous area.
