Like most other filters in vehicles, sometimes you need to clean the filter and burn of accumulated soot. However, what makes the DPF filter different from the rest is the regeneration process that the filter initiates. Automatically enacted, the process occurs while the vehicle is in motion between every 2,000-10,000 km and takes anywhere between 30-60 minutes once the engine heats up to a proper operating temperature. There will be a green light that indicates the process is ongoing and it can even be paused should you stop driving and turn off the vehicle; it will resume when you resume driving, giving you maximum comfort and convenience while driving with minimal to no interruptions at all.
Mercedes Benz is known for a variety of innovations and advancements that help them maintain their status as the premiere luxury vehicle. The Diesel Particulate Filter not only leads to cleaner emissions but its’ self-regeneration capabilities maximize the ease and comfort for the driver, improving the driving experience from start to bottom. If the DPF light comes on in your Mercedes, it is important to know what it signifies but also even more than that, it is important to know what may be damaged should the light be ignored or should you continue driving as usual, putting added strain on the engine and hindering your vehicle’s performance and your enjoyment.
