  • DPF light

    Hi, I have my first diesel car and I've been reading about the DPF. My instrument cluster is just like the one attached. There is no DPF light to illuminate. Would the notification come up on the display screen instead? I see there is a place for the adblue light, but my car doesn't need adblue. Anybody have a similar panel?

    if you switch the screen to the top consumers screen,during a regen ,the" rear defrost " will appear in there,without the switch being illuminated. after the regen is completed rear defrost will disappear

      *if that screen is enabled. Mine isn't

      IIRC they disabled the light as when it was illuminated too many people took the car to the dealership moaning of a light on the dashboard.

      The telltales that it is doing a regen is when the engine is warm the idle revs are at 1000 rpm and the rear demister turns on (you'll only feel it warm, it doesn't show the light under the radio)

      Wait for the revs to drop back to 800ish and then turn the car off (If you have reached your destination that is, if not just carry on )

        Maybe I misunderstand you but you know you can enable that screen, right?

          Only if it is an available option in the screens selection, which it isn't
