CLOCK, ADJUSTMENT DIESEL PARTICLE FILTER CAR CARE EBA – EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST Washing by hand is gentler to the paintwork than an automatic car wash. The paintwork is also more sensitive when it is new. For this reason, handwashing is recommended during the first few months with a new car. Use clean water and a washing sponge. Remember that dirt and grit can scratch the paint. In some circumstances, the instrument panel's display shows SOOT FILTER FULL. At which point the exhaust system's particle filter needs cleaning. This takes place automatically by driving for approx. 20 minutes at an even main road speed. When the message clears the so-called regen- eration is complete. Emergency Brake Assistance helps to increase brake force and so reduce braking distance. EBA is activated when the driver brakes sud- denly. When EBA is activated the brake pedal depresses a little further than usual. – Press (hold) down the brake pedal for as long as necessary – all braking ceases if the pedal is released. 1.
