Not sure what point you are trying to make here in the context of the discussion but it is misleading.
The switch once armed by the fault condition can only be activated while the engine is running.
The fault warning will also normally come on while driving (simple probability).
So in most cases the system will be already at, or at least approaching sufficient temperature for the manual regeneration process to take over and increase it from there.
In the event that temperatures may be lower than required by the manual process, either before initiating the burn with the switch or during regeneration, Toyota have provided simple and clear instructions in the manual to increase revs temporarily to assist raising the temperature.

They did the software upgrade and system inspection and also activated the DPF custom mode which gives a dashboard indication when a burn is under way - I haven't seen this in operation yet as have only driven home from the dealership.
However they declined my request to instal under warranty the over-ride switch for a manual burn....will have to see how I go at attempting to persuade Toyota to review that decision

wildthing wrote:Hi all,
Have just done about 2000km around Vic, including the Grampians and the High Country, towing my camper at about 2.2 tonne (and driving mostly in S4).
This is my first longer trip after having the DPF recall attended to last month, when I also had the on-screen display and manual buurn switch installed.
Experience during this towing trip is that I was averaging a regen after only around 150km each time. The duration of the burn was anything from 15 minutes to 45 minutes, but probably averaging around 20 minutes.
This seems to me to be regeneration too frequently and possibly taking too long each time?
Any thoughts or experience from others on this forum as to whether this performance is reasonable?
I'm due for a regular sevice in the next few weeks, so probably should query the DPF performance based on my experience.
Comments appreciated,
Cheers

Is this normal? I'm not seeing any issues. I'm getting low 7L/100km economy in normal mode.
