Apparently it needs to be between 2500 and 3500 rpm to come up to the correct temperatur to start the Process.
once I had the manual regeneration done at Ford they did a Service as well
go Figure..
I know this is an old post but thought I'd mention that it's not correct. My MB will start a regen during normal motorway running in 6th, once after 20 minutes from a cold start. I know this because the regen was in progress when I came off the motorway, and this has now happened 3 times.

I thought there was an engine fault the first time, as the engine was much louder than usual at low speed! I really wish there was a message saying that a regen was in progress, then you could keep going until the cycle completed.
