Warning lights

I/GS-13 A. Stemmer

DPF warning light

on, because 55% loading
has been exceeded or within 50 min regeneration
time (cut-off time) over 10% --> DPF warning light
on --> driver must "actively" support the
regeneration through appropriate driving style

Level 2 - in the background without driver

Level 1 - in the background without driver

information

Regeneration

Active pariculate filter regeneration on 4 cylinder pump

injector engine

DPF warning light, pre-glowing spiral and engine

warning light on --> engine emergency
operation --> emergency regeneration journey
not possible any more --> DPF replacement
necessary

has been exceeded or within 75 min (ca. 4500 sec.)

regeneration time (cut-off time) over 10% loading -> engine emergency operation --> driver
cannot automatically perform the regeneration any
more

- Particulate filter regeneration is started by: DPF loading (soot) or mileage controlled
- mileage controlled means: the regeneration is started every 300-400 km independen

DPF loading >90%

b) after 75 min (ca. 4500 sec.)

unsuccessful regeneration

or

Active pariculate filter regeneration on 4 cylinder pump

DPF warning light , pre-glowing spiral
and
injector
engine
engine warning light
on, because 75% loading
a) DPF loading >75% to 90%

If the DPF warning light is on, drive for about 15

minutes in 4th or 5th gear (automatic gearbox:
driving mode S) with at least 60 km/h between 1800
to 2500 rpm. Because of the increased temperature
the soot in the filter is burnt.
Loading <10% --> DPF- warning light goes out

Is after 20 min. the regeneration is over 10% loading,

the regeneration in level 2 kicks in = increased
reinjection and hence higher exhaust gas
temperatures

Normal regeneration with reinjection

nt of the DPF loading

Particulate filter replacement necessary

from >90% DPF loading

Workshop emergency regeneration journey with VAS

tester is necessary. Loading <10% --> DPF warning
light goes out and fault entry can be deleted.
