The diesel particle filter system filters harmful soot particles out of the exhaust gases. The system includes a self-cleaning function that runs automatically during driving. The filter is cleaned by burning off the soot particles at high temperature. This process takes place automatically under set driving conditions and may take up to 25 minutes. Fuel consumption may be higher during this period. The emission of smells and smoke during this process is normal.
26 |
In brief |
|
|
Under certain driving conditions, e.g. short distances, the system cannot clean itself automatically.
If the filter requires cleaning and previous driving conditions did not enable automatic cleaning, control indicator !flashes.
