    The vehicle will indicate a regeneration cycle is needed and act accordingly. All you'll need to do is drive until the cycle stops... easy.

    I take it you may not be in Australia? As last time I looked the Nissan Titan isn't coming here any time soon.
    Yes, location is listed as Cleveland, I'd guess Ohio, USA.

    Or Cleveland QLD!

    The Titan may not be imported by Nissan but at least one company is already importing and converting them.

    Maybe I should look at second hand D4.

    I had not considered second hand as I am able to get fleet discount on new, it is worth while.

    Thanks for all the comments.....

    The South Australian Country Service updates its fleet on a rolling schedule, the current spec fire trucks all have DPFs.

    The only issue is forcing a regeneration cycle before entering long grass etc because of the heat generated during the cycle. Easy to do, the dash display warns you when a regeneration is due and you can force it before it happens automatically.

    If you're on road it doesn't matter, we'll let it do its thing when it wants.

    Passenger cars with DPFs usually don't allow you to activate a regeneration cycle manually, as far as I know they are all automatically activated. You can activate a regen if you have some sort of tool (ie. Vagcom for VWs).

    I have read of people cleaning VW DPFs by backflushing them with high pressure or by cutting them open and flushing. There are also additives coming on to the market which supposedly help clean them.
