Start regeneration of the filter by driving the
car until the engine reaches normal operating

approximately 20 minutes more. When re-
generation is underway the engine power is

When regeneration is complete the warning
message is cleared automatically.
Use the parking heater (option) in cold
weather so that the engine reaches normal
operating temperature more quickly.
