1.4 Automatic DPF regeneration
• If the DPF becomes so heavily loaded with PM
that it cannot be regenerated by continuous
DPF regeneration, the system initiates auto-
matic DPF regeneration (regeneration by burn-
ing PM). The indicator lamp (green) lights
while the DPF is being regenerated by this
method. You can operate the vehicle as usual
even during automatic DPF regeneration
although the engine operating sound and idling
speed will change due to the higher exhaust
temperature.
When automatic DPF regeneration is in
progress:
• The “CLEANING” message is
displayed.
• PM amount segments flash.
• The lamp
(green) lights.
• If a prompt for
parked DPF
regeneration
has been issued
following indica-
tion of 7 or more
PM amount
segments, the
lamp lights
in green and
amber alter-
nately.
Automatic DPF
regeneration is in
progress.
