Manual regeneration of diesel particle filter

Regeneration of particle filter is a function that can be started with the diagnostic tool. This function burns particles present in the particle filter in order to clean it. Some driving conditions are unfavourable to automatic regeneration, e.g. urban driving. In these cases can this forced regeneration be used to avoid clogging of the particle filter.
