PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENTThe following devices are used for reducing diesel
fuel engine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR)
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/
markets, where provided).
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter,
integral to the exhaust system, that physically traps
carbon particulates present in the exhaust gases
of diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter has been adopted to
eliminate almost all particulates in compliance with
current/future regulations.
During normal use of the vehicle, the engine
management control unit records a set of data
(travel time, type of route, temperatures reached
etc.) and calculates how much particulate has been
trapped by the filter.Since this filter physically traps particulate, it must be
regenerated (cleaned) at regular intervals by burning
the carbon particles.
The regeneration procedure is managed
automatically by the engine management control unit
according to the filter conditions and vehicle use
conditions.
During regeneration, the following may occur: a
limited increase in the engine speed, activation of the
fan, a limited increase in fumes and high
temperatures at the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair vehicle
performance or damage the environment. If
the dedicated message is displayed, refer to the
“Warning lights and messages” section.
