Regeneration of the particle emission filter is a function that can be started with the diagnostic equipment. This function burns particles present in the particle emission filter in order to clean it. Some driving conditions are unfavourable to automatic regeneration, e.g. urban driving. In these cases the forced regeneration procedure can be used to avoid clogging of the particle emission filter.
Observe:
This operation results in very high exhaust temperatures. Perform the operation outdoors and without exhaust gas extraction take-off.
Do not operate the clutch, brake or gas pedal during the regeneration.
Test prerequisites:
Engine running.
No faults in the system.
All consumers inactive.
Coolant temperature at least 70 °C.
Fuel level above ¼ full.
Gear in P/N.
Procedure:
Choose the function: "Regeneration", press "OK".
The regeneration lasts for approximately 40 min. When the engine is back to idling the regeneration is completed.
Let the engine idle for a couple of minutes to stabilize the operation of the engine.
Exit the function.
After the regeneration read the fault code to eliminate possible faults.
