Information on cleaning the diesel particulate filter

The exhaust system management recognises a diesel particulate filter which is filling up and aids the self-cleaning process of the diesel particulate filter by recommending the most suitable gear when driving. This may mean driving with increased engine speed in exceptional cases .

CAUTION

The gear-change indicator is only designed to assist the driver and cannot replace the driver's own judgement.

The driver has full responsibility for selecting the correct gear in all situations (e.g. when overtaking, driving up and down hills and when towing a trailer).

Driving in the correct gear can reduce fuel consumption.

The display on the gear-change indicator will disappear when the clutch pedal is depressed.
