2021 MERCEDES-BENZ V-CLASS MPV trip computer

#
Avoid high engine speeds and driving at
full thro ttle until the engine has reached
its operating temp erature. Note
s on short-distance trips
If th eve hicle is predominantly used in short-dis‐
ta nce driving, a fault in the automatic cleaning
function of the diesel particulate filter can occur.
Due tothis, fuel may also accumulate in the
engine oil and cause engine failure.
During automatic cleaning, extreme lyhot exhaust
ga ses escape from theex haust pipe. Maintain a
dis tance of at least 1 m to other objects, e.g.
par kedve hicles, in order toavoid material dam‐
age.
If yo u main lydrive short dis tances, you should
drive on a mo torw ay or go for a country drive for
20 minutes every500 km. This facilitates the
re ge neration of the diesel particulate filter.
