EXHAUST FILTER
Diesel vehicles equipped with a Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF) have more efficient
emissions control. The particles in the
exhaust gases are collected in the exhaust
filter during normal driving.
Cleaning of the exhaust filter, also known
as regeneration, occurs automatically
approximately every 300-900 km
depending on driving conditions, and
requires the engine to reach normal
operating temperature.
This self-cleaning takes place when the
vehicle is driven steadily at speeds
between 60 km/h to 112 km/h (40 mph to
70 mph). This process normally takes 10-
20 minutes. It is possible that the self-
cleaning will occur at lower vehicle
speeds, but the process may take a little
longer at a 50 km/h (30 mph) average
speed.
Exhaust filter self-cleaning
Some driving conditions (e.g., frequently
driving short distances, in slow-moving
traffic, or in cold weather) may not provide
sufficient opportunity to begin the exhaust
filter self-cleaning automatically. When
this occurs, a warning icon is displayed in
the Message centre, depending on status,
as follows:
• Amber: Exhaust filter self-cleaning is
required. Driving above 60 km/h (40
mph) for 20 minutes should clean the
filter.
Note: Failure to follow the above
driving approach to enable filter
self-cleaning, may result in reduced
vehicle performance. The amber
exhaust filter icon will eventually be
replaced by a red exhaust filter icon,
and the filter may need to be replaced.
• Red: The exhaust filter is full; contact
a Retailer/Authorised Repairer as soon
as possible.
Note: A small increase in fuel
consumption may be noticed temporarily
during exhaust filter self-cleaning.
Note: If diesel fuel with high sulphur
content is used regularly, the exhaust may
emit a cloud of smoke at the start of the
self-cleaning process. This is the sulphur
deposit being burnt off and is no cause
for concern. If possible, only use low
sulphur diesel fuel.
ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
No modifications or additions
should be made to the Anti-theft
system. Such changes could cause
the system to malfunction.
AIRBAG SYSTEM
The components that make up the
airbag system are sensitive to
electrical or physical interference,
either of which could easily
damage the system and cause
inadvertent operation or a
malfunction of the airbag module.
