Australasia DFP burn offs

[TheDocAUS]

We need some control or say over DFP burn offs, instead of “helicopter mode” coming on at anytime it decides. I have lost count the number of times burns off decide to start 2 minutes before I get home.

If this occurs in remote Australia in spinifex, the car could be lost by setting fire to the spinifex.

My suggestions:

• When off-road mode is on, no DPF burn offs;
• When the car reaches 85% before a burn off is to start, the driver is notified;
• Any time the car is at 85% or more, the driver can start a burn off, at a time of their choosing;
• if a burn off starts, the driver can stop or delay it.

Has there been an explanation for any of the major Grenadier fires in Oz? (I think there has been three). I’m normally not a conspiracy theorist but they have been very good at keeping the reasons for these fires from reaching social media or this forum, I would have thought at least some info would have come out?

One source was the engine cover in diesel cars melting and catching fire. Hence the recall to replace the engine covers in diesel models with higher rated heat insulation. I do not think the Petrol model has the same problem.
