In the last photo you can see the blue coloured DPF. You also get a DPF button on the right of steering wheel. I don’t know the technical stuff here. But reading how to use the DPF from user manual, I’m bit scared. Have not taken delivery yet. But will get it this week after RTO registration. Fingers crossed.

This forum really spooky for me now

What does the user manual say?

As per my understanding you don't need to use the DPF button if you're driving is not restricted to city only. Highway driving results in automatic DPF regeneration as the rpm's are higher and enough fuel is injected to burn soot.

However if your car is used in city for longer duration then the DPF warning light on cluster will come on. Once on you need to stop the car in an open area and run the DPF regeneration cycle for 20mins or so. ECU takes care of injecting fuel at higher rpm and performing the DPF regeneration.

Thats not a DPF button. It is the DISP button to change the MID information. Zoomed in on your images to see this.

Did he mean to the right of the steering ?
The DPF button that is seen on Hilux seems to suggest that

There is no image of buttons on right of the steering and he specifically mentioned "on the steering".

The button is located near the right knee area like the one shown by Amalji and since it's not something one would use regularly it is located quite discreetly.

A screenshot from my BS6 fortuner, there is a note on the door about DPF.

According to a media report, Toyota might not offer the 2.8-litre diesel engine in the Innova Crysta.



It has been reported that the demand for the 2.4-litre diesel engine was higher than the larger capacity unit. The other reason why Toyota will no longer offer the 2.8-litre engine on the Innova Crysta is because the switch to BS6 norms has already pushed the prices of the model higher.

Earlier this year, Toyota launched Innova Crysta BS6 with a single 2.4-litre diesel engine option. It produces 148 BHP @ 3,400 rpm and 360 Nm @ 1,400-2,600 rpm. In the manual variants, the engine makes 343 Nm @ 1,400-2,800 rpm. The engine is mated to either a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.

The Innova Crysta is also available with a 2.7-litre petrol engine that makes 164 BHP @ 5,200 rpm and 245 Nm @ 4,000 rpm.

Toyota India is just greedy and after profits and nothing else. They could launch the 2.8 and could even keep the prices the same as the Innova is already expensive and other than reliability the interior dashboard is very underwhelming and quality of plastics is also so so. They should be launching corolla hybrid, the CHR, RAV4, they have many products but in India they just believing in milking milking milking till the cow has died of exhaustion. Sad and disappointing behaviour from such a global leader.

Congrats.

And where's this DPF button you speak of? Thats the Display button.

IT's on the right of the steering on the dash as seen in photo few posts earlier:

Pretty sure that image is of a Toyota Hilux, and not of an Innova.

I don't have the picture with me, but Innova BS6 does come with DPF button. It is located next to parking sensor power off/on.

And I'm pretty sure that Toyota is not going to reposition that to the steering wheel just for India and from 2 cars which share similar mechanicals.

In any case here's the button in the BS6 innova which should clear your doubts. Same place above the bonnet release latch:

The DPF seems to be a real limiting factor on Diesel engines. It seems to be a patchy afterthought fix for an inherent design problem ( that Diesels cannot be made Euro 6 compliant ). In 2 to 3 years, the problems that the Australian customers are facing could be ours. Is it the start of the end for Diesel engines ?

I have been working with DPFs for the last 20 years. There are many materials used for DPFs and it is calibration dependent. Euro 6 calibrations are well matured. Companies with country specific calibration and the right material work well. I would request you not to demonise DPFs, since they are working great globally for most platforms and allow for 99% reduction in PM. They have been loaded with SCR coating to perform for both PM and NOx reduction.

In India Compass 4X4 has a DPF since BS 4. Kia Seltos are doing great too. Going forward all Petrol GDI engines will also be getting GPFs. Both DPF and GPF are here to stay for an IC Engine.

All trucks, pick ups and Diesel Cars have been using DPFs.
We need to get used to minor usage changes, once done, they are good. Please let me know if I can help technically.

Thank you for the information. With what I have read ( regarding how DPF works, and what the experience is for many of the people who have made the DPF jump already ), the reliability looks too much of a chance for me. I will prefer an electric/hybrid/petrol without a mechanism similar to that of a DPF any day atleast for personal use. Again, this is my personal opinion. I might be wrong and I pray that I'm proved wrong because Diesel engines offers a livelihood for many in our country.
