Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Regeneration*
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
Collects PM (particulate matter) from the exhaust gas. The DPF is installed in the
catalytic converter.
1Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
The DPF must operate at a high temperature for the
chemical reactions to take place. It can set on fire any
combustible materials that come near it. Park your
vehicle away from high grass, dry leaves, or other
flammables.
How the DPF Works
β
The DPF periodically burns off the collected PM while driving at a high temperature
of catalytic converter.
When PM is burned off, you may notice white smoke in the exhaust gas, and the
increase in the average fuel consumption. This is temporary, and normal.
