Diesel particle filter: Owner's manual!
The system allows the vehicle to run in emergency mode. After switching the
ignition off and on again the indicator light, the warning light
also illumi-
nates.
Seek help from a specialist garage.
WARNING
■
Always adjust your speed to suit weather, road, region and traffic condi-
tions. The recommendations indicated by the indicator light must not
tempt you to disregard the national regulations for road traffic.
■
The diesel particulate filter reaches very high temperatures - there is a
fire hazard and serious injury could be caused. Therefore, never stop the
vehicle at places where the underside of your vehicle can come into contact
with flammable materials such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled
fuel or such like.
CAUTION
■
As long as the warning light illuminates, one must take into account an
increased fuel consumption and a power reduction of the engine.
■
Using diesel fuel with an increased sulphur content can considerably reduce
the life of the diesel particle filter. A ŠKODA partner will be able to tell you
which countries use diesel fuel with a high sulphur content.
Note
■
To assist the combustion process of the soot particles in the filter, we recom-
mend that regularly driving short distances be avoided.
■
If the engine is turned off during the filter cleaning process or shortly after-
wards, the cooling fan may turn on automatically for a few minutes.
