The engine sounds slightly different fromusual while the learning process is taking
place. The change in the engine sound does
not indicate a fault.Diesel particulate filter
(DPF)* E00619801330
The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a devicethat captures most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. The DPF automatically burns away trapped PM during vehicle operation. Under
certain driving conditions, however, the DPF is not able to burn away all of the trapped PM
and, as a result, an excessive amount of PM accumulates inside it.
WARNINGl The DPF reaches very high temperatures.
Do not park your vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust system since a fire could occur.CAUTIONl Do not use any type of fuel or engine oil that
is not specified for your vehicle. Also, do not use any moisture-removing agent or oth-
er fuel additive. Such substances could have a detrimental effect on the DPF.
Refer to “Fuel selection” on page 2-02 and
“Engine oil” on page 10-05.NOTEl To minimize the likelihood of excessive ac-
cumulation of PM, try to avoid driving for long periods at low speeds and repeatedly
driving short distances.
l The engine sounds slightly different than
usual while the DPF automatically burns
away trapped PM. The change in the engine
sound does not indicate a fault.DPF warning displayType 1

Steady illumination of the DPF warning dis- play shows that the DPF has not been able to
burn away all of the trapped PM and that, as
a result, an excessive amount of PM has ac- cumulated inside it. To enable the DPF toburn away the PM, try to drive the vehicle as

Turbocharger
The turbocharger increases engine power by
pushing large amounts of air into the engine’s
cylinders. The finned parts inside the turbo-
charger turn at extremely high speeds and are subjected to extremely high temperatures. They are lubricated and cooled by engine oil.
If the engine oil is not replaced at the speci-
fied intervals, the bearings may seize or emit abnormal noise.
