Safety instructions on diesel particulate filter
WARNING
The exhaust system becomes very hot. There is a risk of burning!
During regeneration, exhaust gas temperatures of approx. 600 °C can oc-
cur in the exhaust system, even when the engine is idling.
► Keep your hands clear of the exhaust outlet.
► Keep a safe distance from the exhaust system.
► Do not open engine cover during regeneration and shortly after.
NOTICE
The exhaust system becomes very hot. There is a risk of fire!
Hot exhaust gases can cause fires in environments with highly flammable
materials and cause significant property damage.
► When regenerating the diesel particulate filter, make sure that there
are no easily inflammable materials in the direct vicinity of the ex-
haust system, e.g. paper, dry grass, wood, wooden ceilings, oil,
fuels, etc.
► Do not park the vehicle with the engine running in direct proximity to
easily flammable materials.
► Do not use corrosion-protection agents for the exhaust system.
These can ignite at the exhaust system.
► In environments with easily flammable material, disable the "auto-
matic regeneration" mode.
► Do not start "manual regeneration" in environments with flammable
materials.
