Start regeneration of the filter by driving the
car until the engine reaches normal operating
temperature, preferably on a main road or
motorway. The car should then be driven for
approximately 20 minutes more.
When regeneration is complete the message
is cleared automatically.
Use the parking heater (option) in cold
weather so that the engine reaches normal
operating temperature more quickly.

functioning. Then it can be difficult to start
the engine and there is a risk that the filter
will have to be replaced.

being towed. The steering lock could other-
wise be activated, making it impossible to
steer the car.
