proximately 40 minutes.
To do this, when the warning light
comes on, accompanied by the
message"Regeneratetheparticlefil
ter":
– park your vehicle off the road, away
from traffic and in a place where it is at
least three metres from any obstacles
or material which could easily ignite or
melt(e.g.paper,grass,plastic,dryor
ganic material, etc.);
– apply the parking brake;
– Setthegearlevertoneutral(posi
tion N on vehicles with an automatic
gearbox).
Then, with the engine on:
– deactivate the Stop and Start
🡺184function(ifthevehicleis
equipped);
– gotothe"Vehicle"tabintheinstru
ment panel menu 🡺136;
– press button 3 or 4 repeatedly until
the "Regenerate DPF [long press]"
message appears;
– press and hold button 2 until the
"DPF regeneration Ongoing" or "Re
gen 40min-to stop press brake"mes
sage appears. The warning light
flashes.
Wait until the warning light goes out
(approximately 40 minutes). The "DPF
Regeneration Completed" message is
displayed on the instrument panel.
If the conditions are not met before or
during regeneration, the warning light
goes out and the message
"DPFRegenerationInterrupted"is
displayedandtheprocedureiscan
celled.
The "Regenerate DPF [long press]"
message will be displayed as soon as
the conditions required to renew the
manual procedure are once again met.
Note: do not start the regeneration in
the event of an insufficient oil or
coolant level (oil pressure warning light
or coolant temperature warning
light lit on the instrument panel).
In this case, top up 🡺324 and 🡺327.
Regeneration is not possible:
– if the fuel level is too low;
– if the engine is too cold;
– in extreme weather conditions (cold,
hot or very high altitude).
During the regeneration process:
– the engine speed first increases to
approximately 3,000 rpm in order to
warm the engine. It then decreases to
approximately 2,000 rpm until the end
of the regeneration;
– the fan assemblies are triggered.
This is a normal operation to ensure
engine cooling;
– white fumes and unusual odours are
frequently produced in the exhaust
system. This does not indicate that the
system is operating incorrectly.
If you need to interrupt the particle
filter regeneration, press one of the
pedals. In this case, regeneration will
only be partial.
