Regeneration of particle filter


This function cleans the particle filter from soot particles by burning them off using an increase in the exhaust temperature. In certain driving conditions, the particle filter can not be cleaned automatically, e.g., in continuous city driving. Then this function is used to force a regeneration. Regeneration takes approx. 10 minutes.

Note:

Exhaust temperature is very high during this procedure. Therefore, perform the regeneration outdoors, without connected exhaust hose.

    • During the regeneration phase, the engine speed is increased to approx. 3,000 rpm.

  3. The function is done.

    • If the function fails, check the test conditions and repair any faults.
