Diesel particulate filter clogged
Applies to vehicles: with diesel engine and diesel part icu-
late filter
1/1 Particulate filter ! See owner's manual
If the indicator light II in the instrument
cluster comes on, the diesel particulate filter
has become blocked with soot as the result of
constant short-distance driving . When the
II symbol illuminates, you can alter your
driving style to assist the filter self-clean ing
process. Drive for approximately 15 minutes
in 4th or 5th gear (automatic transmission
with the se lector lever in the S position) at a
minimum speed of 37 mph (60 km/h) and an
engine speed of approx imately 2,000 RPM.
The temperature increase that will result from
this can burn off the soot in the filter. The
symbol will switch off when the cleaning is
successful. After a successful cleaning, there
is no need to bring the car to an authorized
dealer or qualified workshop because th is is
part of normal veh icle operation .
If the symbol
DI does not switch off, see
your autho rized dea ler or other qualified
workshop to have the problem corrected .
As long as the indicator light
11!1 remains on
(diesel part iculate filte r plugged), you can ex-
pect increased fuel consumption and possibly
also a loss of engine performance.

late filter, refer to ~
