What does it mean that the regeneration process has not been completed?
Years

Answer

If a message appears on the dashboard of our car indicating a failed regeneration, it means that the automatic cleaning procedure of the particulate filter has been interrupted in some way. This can happen, for example, by turning off the engine, and in some cars, it can lead to complete clogging of the filter. Always refer to the vehicle's owner's manual for information on the procedure for cleaning the filter.
