3 How to perform the parked DPF regener-
ation
The parked DPF regeneration steps you should fol-
low upon flashing of the indicator lamp are indi-
cated below. You may perform the parked DPF
regeneration only when the indicator lamp
flashes. The parked DPF regeneration time is as a
general rule 10 to 30 minutes although it varies with
the conditions in which the vehicle is operated.
CAUTION
Do not perform the parked DPF regeneration in
a place where there are flammable materials,
such as dead grass or paper. During the parked
DPF regeneration, all surfaces of and around
the exhaust pipe and muffler as well as the
exhaust gases are extremely hot and nearby
flammable materials can catch fire easily. Also,
keep all people away from the exhaust pipe and
muffler. Should anyone touch the exhaust pipe,
muffler or other hot surfaces or expose any part
of his/her body the exhaust gases, he/she could
get burned.
WARNING
Do not perform the parked DPF regeneration
in a poorly ventilated garage or other closed
area. Exhaust gas contains carbon monox-
ide, which is toxic and very dangerous.
