Operator Regeneration Procedure
1. Drive at a constant speed more than 70 km/h (45 MPH) while paying attention to
the vehicle surroundings.
2. When vehicle speed, engine coolant temperatures and other factors are met, the
DPD operator regeneration indicator light will switch from intermittent flashing to
continuous illumination and DPD regeneration will begin.
3. Drive at as constant of a speed as possible. Operator regeneration of DPD is
complete once the DPD operator regeneration indicator light will go off.
WARNING
• It is not always necessary to continue driving under the conditions mentioned
above. Always drive safely in accordance with road and traffic conditions.
ADVICE
• Although operator regeneration of DPD is usually completed within
approximately 15 minutes, the time may differ depending on outside
temperature, engine coolant temperature and driving conditions. As a guide, for
completing operator regeneration in cold regions, continue driving in 5th gear (for
automatic transmission models, maintaining 5th gear in manual mode) at more
than 70 km/h (45 MPH) for approximately 20 minutes.
NOTE
• During regeneration, the engine idle speed will increase.
• DPD regeneration process will continue even in the case of deceleration or
vehicle stoppage. In addition, it is possible to turn off the engine during the
process. In this case, the regeneration will stop, but the next time the engine
coolant becomes warm after being started, the DPD operator regeneration
indicator light will flash to prompt for the completion of DPD regeneration. If this
occurs, perform operator regeneration as soon as possible according to the
"Operator Regeneration Procedure".
