Driving and operating 203
GC3E9003A
Under certain driving conditions, e.g.
short distances, the system cannot
clean itself automatically.
If the filter requires cleaning control
indicator L flashes. And the vehicle
message ‘Particulate Filter Is Full’ or
code ‘55’ will appear in the Driver
Information Center (DIC) too.
Continue driving, keeping engine
speed above 2000 rpm. Diesel
particle filter cleaning is then started.
The control indicator L and vehicle
message or code extinguishes as
soon as the self-cleaning operation is
complete.
Catalytic converter
The catalytic converter reduces the
amount of harmful substances in the
exhaust gas.
Caution
If the cleaning process is
interrupted more than once, there
is a risk of provoking severe engine
damage.
Caution
Use of fuel with low quality or too
low octane number may damage
the engine, the catalytic converter
or electronic components.
Unburnt petrol will overheat and
damage the catalytic converter.
Therefore avoid excessive use of
the starter, running the fuel tank
dry and starting the engine by
pushing or towing.
