I - INSTRUCTIONS FOR CARRYING OUT FORCED REGENERATION OF THE PARTICLE FILTER

Precautions to be taken during forced regeneration of the particle filter

  • There are currently two additional kits for extracting exhaust gases in the workshop (see Garage equipment catalogue), both of which are approved for the high temperatures produced during particle filter forced regeneration.

    The two kits approved for particle filter regeneration are:

    • the particle filter kit for use with vehicles fitted with a single exit silencer,
    • the twin exhaust pipe kit for use with vehicles equipped with a twin exhaust pipe on the silencer.
IMPORTANT During forced regeneration of the particle filter, the temperature of the exhaust pipe rises significantly.

Always use one of the two kits approved for the high temperatures reached during forced regeneration, whether the operation is carried out in the workshop using an exhaust gas extractor, or outside the workshop.

Ensure that when in use, the kit is not touching the rear bumper when carrying out forced regeneration of the particle filter.

Twin exhaust pipe kit special features
