CAUTION
Install the battery securely in position. If it is left
loose, shocks and vibrations from road surface
could damage the battery case and electrode
plates, shortening battery life.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel particulate fil-
ter (DPF) system. This device collects particulate
matter (PM) contained in diesel engine exhaust with
a ceramic filter and continuously regenerates the fil-
ter by the effect of the inside oxidation catalyst (this
process is called oxidation removal of PM).
Although the collected PM is removed by combus-
tion during the DPF regeneration process, the
ashes resulting from the combustion continue to
accumulate inside the filter unless removed manu-
ally.
In order to maintain the necessary level of system
performance, you need to bring your vehicle period-
ically to an authorized dealer to have the DPF
cleaned of ashes through the use of special clean-
ing equipment.
NOTE:
If the DPF is replaced, the first ash cleaning must
be performed at 185,000 km (110,000 miles) from
that time and the second and subsequent cleaning
must be performed every 105,000 km (65,000
miles).
