NOTE Damag
e due to hot exhaust gases
Very hot exhaust gases are emitted from the
t
ailpipe during regeneration.
#
During regeneration, maintain a minimum
dis
tance of 7  (2 m) to other objects,
e.g. parked vehicles.
#
Carry out regeneration only on concrete
or asphalt sur
faces.
#
Do not carry out regeneration in the
immediat
e vicinity of people.
#
Carry out regeneration in the open air
and no
t in closed halls or rooms.
#
Make sure that there are no ammable
mat
erials or objects in the area of the
exhaust system.
Regeneration is only permitted while driving or at a
q
ualied specialist workshop with extraction sys-
tem.
Regeneration without interruption takes approx.
20–25 minutes.
If the vehicle is predominantly used for short-dis-
tance driving or has extended non-operational
times, this could lead to a malfunction in the auto-
matic cleaning function of the diesel particulate l-
ter. As a result, the diesel particulate lter may
become blocked. Fuel may also accumulate in the
engine oil and cause engine damage.
If you mainly drive short distances, you should
drive on a freeway or go for a country drive for 20
minutes every 500 km (300 miles). This facilitates
the diesel particulate lter's burn-o process.

exhaust gases can occur in the vehicle sur-
roundings. Conrm for three seconds with OK.

The duration of regeneration depends on the
load condition of t
he diesel particulate lter
(approx. 20‑25 minutes).
Aer successful regeneration, the engine
speed is reduced again.
#
To cancel regeneration: Switch o the vehicle
or depress the clutch (for manual transmission)
or brake (for automatic transmission).
Regeneration is canceled.
Regeneration cannot be requested again until the
load condition of t
he diesel particulate lter is at
least 100%.
