The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) reduces the
amount of materials that affect the environment by
collecting particulate matter included in exhaust
gases. Normally, particulate matter accumulated in
the DPF is automatically burned and converted to
harmless substances during driving. However, par-
ticulate matter collected in the DPF cannot be
burned under the following conditions:
• When vehicle speed remains below 15 km/h (10
MPH) for
along period of time.
• When the engine is frequently stopped and re-
started within 10 minutes.
• When the vehicle is frequently used for short
journeys of 10 minutes or less.
• When the engine is frequently stopped before it
has warmed up.
In these cases, it becomes difficult to burn particu-
late matter that has accumulated in the DPF auto-
matically. As aresult, the DPF warning light in the
meter will illuminate and the indicator light on the
DPF regeneration switch will blink. This is not amal-
function.
If the DPF warning light comes on, perform the DPF
regeneration process.
CAUTION
If the vehicle continues to be driven with the DPF
warning light illuminated and without doing the
regeneration process, the fail-safe will limit the
engine revolutions and/or torque. In this case, the engine oil must be replaced and the process
of service regeneration must be carried out by an
approved dealer or qualified workshop.
The service regeneration is not covered by the
warranty.
AUTOMATIC REGENERATION
If the DPF warning light comes on, it indicates that
particulate matter has accumulated in the DPF to
the specified limit. Particulate matter collected in the
DPF cannot be burned under low speed driving con-
ditions.
As soon as safely possible, drive the vehicle at a
high speed (more than approximately 80 km/h (50
MPH)) until the DPF warning light turns off. Always
conform to local regulations.
When the accumulated particulate matter has been
completely burned, the DPF warning light will turn
off. Pick-up vehicles have
asignificantly higher roll-
over rate than other types of vehicles.
They have higher ground clearance than passenger
cars to make them capable of performing in awide
variety of on-pavement and off-road applications.
This gives them ahigher centre of gravity than ordi-
nary cars. An advantage of higher ground clearance
is ab etter view of the road, allowing you to antici-
pate problems. However, they are not designed for
cornering at the same speeds as conventional pas-
senger cars any more than low-slung sports cars
are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road
conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or
abrupt manoeuvres, particularly at high speeds. As
with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate
this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or
vehicle rollover.
For information about driving using Four-Wheel
Drive (4WD) (where fitted), see “Four-Wheel Drive
(4WD) (where fitted)” later in this section.
DRIVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please observe the following precautions: WARNING
• Drive carefully when off the road and avoid
dangerous areas. Every person who drives or
rides in this vehicle should be seated with
