5-56 Switches and controls
CAUTION
If the (amber) indicator lamp flashes quickly
or the warning appears on the multi-informa-
tion display, promptly perform parked DPF
regeneration by using the DPF cleaning switch
to remove PM in the DPF by burning. Continuing
to drive with an overloaded DPF will result in
system failure.
1.6 How to perform the parked DPF regenera-
tion
The parked DPF regeneration steps you should fol-
low upon flashing of the relevant indicator, warning
and (amber) indicator lamp are indicated below.
You may perform the parked DPF regeneration only
when the indicator lamp flashes. The parked
DPF regeneration time is as a general rule 20 min-
utes although it varies with the conditions in which
the vehicle is operated.
NOTE:
Parked DPF regeneration is impossible in the fol-
lowing conditions:
• Within 30 seconds after starting the engine
• When the coolant indicator shows the tempera-
ture by up to 5 segments (Perform parked DPF
regeneration after warming up the engine.)
• When the PTO switch is in the “ON” position
(Vehicles with a PTO)
WARNING
• Do not perform the parked DPF regenera-
tion in a poorly ventilated garage or other
closed area. Exhaust gas contains carbon
monoxide, which is toxic and very danger-
ous.
• Avoid the following areas when perform-
ing parked DPF regeneration:
• On painted road surfaces: Hot exhaust
gas will discolor the paint.
• Near a hedge: Vegetation may be killed
by the hot exhaust gas.
• Place with flammable materials, such as
dead grass or paper: A fire may occur.
• Keep all people away from the exhaust
pipe and muffler.
• Prevent anyone from touching the exhaust
pipe and muffler or being exposed to the
exhaust gas.
