Diesel particle filter 3 The diesel particle filter system removes polluting soot particles out of the engine exhaust gases. The system includes a self-cleaning function that operates automatically while driving. The filter is cleaned by burning the trapped soot particles at a high temperature. There may be an increase in fuel consumption, exhaust smell, and engine cooling fan operation 3 during the self-cleaning operation. The self-cleaning function can not operate automatically during certain driving situations where the engine does not reach If the filter needs cleaning and recent its normal operating temperature. An driving situations did not allow the function example of this would be driving only short to automatically operate, then the control distances in cold weather. indicator ! will flash. If this occurs, then you may continue to drive the vehicle normally. The vehicle will not be damaged and does not require service. The self-cleaning function will automatically operate while driving after the engine has reached its normal operating temperature.
