2. CAUTIONS
Standard pattern of soot accumulation ▶
(1) Abnormal Soot Accumulation (2) Normal Soot Combustion
Cautions to protect the catalyst filter ▶
Use the designated fuel only.
Observe the recommended service intervals of engine oil.
Check the engine oil level frequently and add if necessary.
Do not idle the vehicle unnecessarily.
Do not turn off the engine while the vehicle is running.
Do not shift the gear selector lever to neutral when going downhill.
Do not use improper engine oil or fuel additives.
Do not drive for a long time when the warning lamp is illuminated.
Make sure no flammable material, such as dry grass or tissue paper, contacts with the catalyst
filter while the vehicle is parked.
For the vehicles used in urban traffic, driving on the expressways for more than 1 hour at least
once per week is needed so that the PM inside CDPF isn't collected to one side only. -

The CDPF system enters the regeneration
mode when the driving distance becomes
approx. 600 to 1,200 km (may differ by the
driving condition and driving style). Then, the
engine ECU performs the CDPF regeneration
operation. However, the driver is not informed
with this operation by any engine warning
lamp or vehicle signal, so he/she may not
detect this operation. The control logic at the
post-injection dur-ing the regeneration
process is to increase the fuel injection
volume and control the intake air volume (by
the throttle body) in order to increase the
temperature of the exhaust gas. The driver
may not feel any particular difference from the
vehicle.
Overload of CDPF (warning lamp blinking)
(3) Warning Lamp Related to CDPF
CDPF regeneration process (warning lamp NOT illuminated) ▶
If the CDPF cannot reach the regeneration temperature due to low speed driving or other
reason during the regeneration process, the soot is continuously accumulated in the CDPF.
When this condition continues and the CDPF is overloaded with soot, the engine warning
lamp blinks to inform this situation to the driver.
In order to solve this problem, drive the vehicle at a speed of approx. 80 km/h for 15 to 20
minutes to perform the CDPF regeneration process.
If the engine warning lamp on the instrument cluster blinks, the CDPF is overloaded. In this
case, perform the step 2. 1.

Excessive overload of CDPF (warning lamp illuminated)
If the vehicle is driven at a speed of 5 to 10 km/h for an extended period of time, the soot
accumulated in the CDPF cannot be burned as the CDPF cannot reach the regeneration
temperature. Then, an excessive amount of soot can be accumulated in the CDPF.
This case is much worse than the simple over-load of the CDPF. To inform this to the driver,
the engine warning lamp comes on and the engine power is decreased to protect the
system.
To solve this problem, blow soot between the engine and exhaust system several times and
erase the related DTC. Then, check if the same DTC is regenerated again. If so, check the
DTC related to the differential pressure sensor. 1.

(3) Turn signal lamp (Hazard warning lamp operation)
The B+ power supplied through the No. F66 interior fuse on the right-hand of the engine
compartment is on standby on the No. 30 and 86 hazard warning lamp relay terminals via the ICM
No. 18 terminal.
The STICS activates and/or controls the hazard warning lamp relay using the No. A26 terminal
depending on the operating conditions. The activated relay supplies the No. 87 and 87a terminals
with the power, which is on standby on the No. 30 hazard warning lamp relay terminal.
The supplied power flows to the corresponding circuit via the No. 7 and 16 ICM terminals.

▶Ignition Key Reminder Warning
The chime buzzer sounds continuously when opening the driver's door while the ignition
key is in ignition switch.
When removing the ignition key or closing the driver's door during chime buzzer operation,
the buzzer stops.
This function does not work when the IGN1 switch is in "ON" position. -
