Diesel particle filter 3
The diesel particle filter system removes
polluting soot particles out of the engine
exhaust gases. The system includes a
self-cleaning function that operates
automatically while driving. The filter is
cleaned by burning the trapped soot
particles at a high temperature. There may
be an increase in fuel consumption,
exhaust smell, and engine cooling fan

operation.

you may continue to drive the vehicle

The self-cleaning function will
automatically operate while driving after
the engine has reached its normal

self-cleaning operation is complete. This
may take up to 20 minutes of driving. The
time will be shorter at higher vehicle
