1.5 Parked DPF regeneration (performed fol-
lowing illumination of the (amber) indi-
cator lamp)
The system sometimes cannot automatically
remove the DPF trapped PM by oxidation, typically
when you drive the vehicle at very low speeds or
start and stop the engine frequently during opera-
tion. The system informs you of such a condition by
flashing the (amber) indicator lamp to prompt
you to manually remove the DPF trapped PM by
burning. The flashing interval of the indicator lamp
differs depending on the amount of the PM accumu-
lated in the DPF.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is used in any of the following condi-
tions, there will be a higher risk of automatic DPF
regeneration not working, and so the indicator lamp
will flash more frequently to prompt you to perform
parked DPF regeneration.
• The vehicle is mainly driven at 20 km/h (12 mph)
or lower speeds.
• Operation of the vehicle involves frequent start-
ing and stopping of the engine at short intervals
(less than 10 minutes).
• The vehicle is repeatedly driven for short dis-
tances (less than 10 km (6 miles)).
• The engine is used for such short times that it is
shut off before having had time to warm up.
• Slow flashing (0.5-second interval)
You must use the DPF cleaning switch within 50
km (31 miles) or 1 hour of driving after the start
of the flashing of the indicator lamp to perform
the parked DPF regeneration in order to remove
the PM inside the DPF by burning.
• Fast flashing (0.25-second interval)
You must bring the vehicle to a stop in a safe
place as soon as possible, then use the DPF
cleaning switch to perform the parked DPF
regeneration in order to remove the PM inside
the DPF by burning.
