Regeneration

WARNING

Do not park or idle your vehicle over

dry leaves, dry grass or other

combustible materials. The

regeneration process creates very high

exhaust gas temperatures and the exhaust

will radiate a considerable amount of heat

during and after regeneration and after you

have switched the engine off. This is a

potential fire hazard.

Note: Avoid running out of fuel.

Note: During regeneration at low speed or

engine idle, you may smell a hot metallic

odor and could notice a clicking metallic

sound. This is due to the high temperatures

reached during regeneration and is normal.

Note: Changes in the engine or exhaust

sound may be heard during the regeneration

process.

Note: After you have switched your engine

off the fans may continue to run for a short

period of time.

The diesel particulate filter on your vehicle

requires periodic regeneration to maintain

its correct function. Your vehicle will carry

out this process automatically.

If your journeys meet one of the following

conditions:

• You drive only short distances.

• You frequently switch the ignition on

and off.

• Your journeys contain a high level of

acceleration and deceleration.

You must carry out occasional trips with

the following conditions to assist the

regeneration process:

• Drive your vehicle in more favorable

conditions, which you will find at higher

vehicle speeds in normal driving, on a

main road or freeway for a minimum

of 20 minutes. This drive may include

short stops that will not affect the

regeneration process.

• Avoid prolonged idling and always

observe speed limits and road

conditions.

• Do not switch the ignition off.

• Select a suitable gear to ideally

maintain engine speed between 1500

and 3000 RPM.

SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE

Vehicles With a Turbocharger

WARNING

Do not switch the engine off when it

is running at high speed. If you do, the

turbocharger will continue running

after the engine oil pressure has dropped

to zero. This will lead to premature

turbocharger bearing wear.

Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until

the engine has reached idle speed and then

switch it off.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (If

Equipped)

WARNINGS

Failure to follow engine block heater

instructions could result in property

damage or serious personal injury.
