DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) system
◆ Regeneration
Regeneration is performed as necessary in accordance with driving
conditions.
◆ System characteristics
The DPF system has the following characteristics:
● Idle speed increases during regeneration
● The smell of the exhaust gas differs from that of a conventional
diesel vehicle
● White smoke may be emitted from the exhaust pipe during
regeneration. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
● If the DPF system warning light turns on (vehicles without multi-
information display) or the DPF system warning message “DPF
FULL MANUAL REGENERATION REQUIRED SEE OWNER’S
MANUAL”/“DPF full Manual regeneration required See owner’s
manual” appears on the display (vehicles with multi-information dis-
play), follow the procedure below to regenerate.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Shift the shift lever to P (automatic transmission) or N (manual
transmission), and firmly set the parking brake.
Do not stop the engine.
Also, make sure that there are no flammable materials near the exhaust
pipe. (P. 354)
Check the engine is warmed up. If the engine is cold, warm up the engine
by depressing the accelerator pedal.
