Passive Regeneration

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Passive regeneration occurs naturally as a result of normal engine operating conditions. During passive regeneration, the exhaust constituents/temperature are at an appropriate level where some soot can be reduced or oxidized (burned) thus cleaning the filter.
