Press the DPF system switch.
Vehicles without multi-information display
The DPF system warning light will change from solid to slow flashing, and
the idling engine speed will increase.
Vehicles with multi-information display
The DPF system warning message
shown in the illustration appears
on the display, and the idling
engine speed will increase.
Regeneration will take around 30 - 40 minutes to complete.*2
When the DPF system warning light or the DPF system warning mes-
sage goes out, the idling engine speed will have finished returning to
normal.
The DPF system switch may not operate when the vehicle is higher
than 4000 m (13123 ft.) above sea level.
*1: Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to depress the accelera-
tor pedal until the engine speed is increased to 3000 rpm. If the engine
coolant temperature or exhaust gas tem perature is low, it may take a long
time to regenerate, or regeneration may be impossible.
*2: Time required for regeneration differs in accordance with the outside tem-
perature. Also, if the engine speed is still approximately 2000 rpm 10 min-
utes after pressing the DPF system switch, the exhaust gas temperature
may be low. In this case, depress the accelerator pedal to run the engine
at approximately 3000 rpm for a while.

Winter driving tips
●Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tempera-
tures.
• Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Washer fluid
● Have a service technician inspect the condition of the battery.
● Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire
chains for the rear tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains match
the size of the tires.
Perform the following according to the driving conditions:
● Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen.
Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away
the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
● To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in
front of the windshield.
● Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accu-
mulated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the
tires or on the brakes.
● Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before
getting in the vehicle.
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before
driving the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a man-
ner appropriate to the prevailing weather conditions.

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
● Use tires of the specified size.
● Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.
● Do not drive at speeds in excess of the speed limit or the speed limit spec-
ified for the snow tires being used.
● Use snow tires on all, not just some wheels.
■ Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely,
and may cause death or serious injury.
● Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains being
used, or 50 km/h (30 mph), whichever is lower.
● Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces or over potholes.
● Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shifting
operations that cause sudden engine braking.
● Slow down sufficiently before entering a curve to ensure that vehicle con-
trol is maintained.
