NOTE When you drive or idle your ve-
hicle, white smoke may be emitted de-
pending on the grade of fuel used. This is
due to the particle filter regenerating au-
tomatically, and does not affect the way
the vehicle runs.
If the diesel particulate filter warning light
comes on when driving, the diesel partic-
ulate filter is nearly clogged. You should
regenerate the diesel particulate filter
when the diesel particulate filter warning
light comes on. To regenerate the diesel
particulate filter, you must drive the ve-
hicle until the light goes out, at a speed
of 50 km/h (31 mph) or higher for a while
(max. 30 minutes depending on the vehi-
cle speed).
However, you should drive carefully and
within the legal speed limit, and should
take in to consideration the surrounding
traffic conditions.
If you drive your vehicle until the light goes
out, the regeneration of the diesel partic-
ulate filter will be completed.
IMPORTANT Be sure to regenerate the
diesel particulate filter when the Diesel
Particulate Filter warning light comes on.
Failure to regenerate the diesel particu-
late filter will cause the vehicle malfunc-
tion due to the clogged filter.
