IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ADVICE (Continued)
• The DPD performs regeneration automatically when a certain amount of PM
accumulates in the DPD. Regeneration occurs during driving and the DPD
operator regeneration indicator light does not come on during regeneration.
Depending upon driving conditions, however, the regeneration may sometimes
not be completed. In this case, the DPD operator regeneration indicator light will
flash, so perform operator regeneration as soon as possible according to the
"Operator Regeneration Procedure". This operation recovers the function of the
DPD. It does not mean that a failure has occurred.
• If the engine idles continuously over an extended period of time, the DPD
operator regeneration indicator light may flash. In this case, perform operator
regeneration as soon as possible according to the "Operator Regeneration
Procedure".

NOTE
• During regeneration, white smoke may be temporarily produced from the
exhaust pipe. This results from combustion of PM and does not indicate a
failure.
• Owing to the exhaust emission reduction function, the exhaust gases emitted
by the exhaust pipe smell different from those emitted by the exhaust pipes of
earlier diesel vehicles.
• A long continuous idling can cause white smoke to be briefly emitted from the
exhaust pipe. The white smoke does not indicate a failure.
