If you continue to drive your vehicle when
the warning lamp is illuminated, the engine
could stop without warning. This could
result in damage not covered by the vehicle
Warranty. Have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible.

Diesel Particulate Filter Automatic
Regeneration
WARNING: Do not park or idle your
vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The regeneration
process creates very high exhaust gas
temperatures and the exhaust will
radiate a considerable amount of heat
during and after regeneration and after
you have switched the engine off. This is
a potential fire hazard.
WARNING: The normal operating
temperature of the exhaust system is
very high. Never work around or attempt
to repair any part of the exhaust system
until it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the diesel oxidation
catalytic converter or the diesel
particulate filter. The diesel oxidation
catalytic converter and the diesel
particulate filter heat up to very high
temperatures after only a short period
of engine operation and remain hot after
you switch the engine off.
The diesel particulate filter on your vehicle
requires periodic regeneration to maintain
correct operation. The emission control
system automatically carries out this
process. As soot gathers in the system it
begins to restrict the filter. The soot that
gathers inside the filter is cleaned in two
different ways, passive regeneration and
active regeneration. Both methods occur
automatically and require no actions from
the driver. During automatic regeneration,
the system cleans the diesel particulate
filter by oxidizing the soot. Cleaning
happens during normal engine operating
conditions at varying levels depending on
driving conditions.

Diesel particulate filter warning
lamp.
If the diesel particulate filter is near or at
saturation, a warning lamp or information
message appears in the information
display. Drive your vehicle in a manner to
allow effective diesel particulate filter
cleaning.
The warning lamp continues to illuminate
until the automatic regeneration process
completes. Continue to drive your vehicle
in a manner to allow effective diesel
particulate filter cleaning until the warning
lamp turns off.
Failure to carry out regeneration when
required could result in a clogged diesel
particulate filter. If the diesel particulate
filter fills beyond the regeneration
threshold, the system disables the ability
to carry out regeneration. This could result
in damage not covered by the vehicle
Warranty.
