227Checks
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle filter is indicated by
the temporary illumination of
this warning lamp accompanied by a message in the multi-function screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving at aspeed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, thisindicates a low additive level.


On a new vehicle, the first par ticlefilter regeneration operations may beaccompanied by a "burning" smell,which is perfectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of thevehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour atthe exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment. Re
fer to the ser vicing booklet for
details of the replacement intervalsfor these components.
Depending on the environment (e.g.
dusty atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often if necessary (refer to the "Engines" section).
A clogged passenger compartment filter mayhave an adverse effect on the performance
of the air conditioning system and generate undesirable odours.

o
f driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It ma
y be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn.
