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.

Diesel particulate filter warning
lamp.
If the diesel particulate filter is
near or at saturation, the warning lamp
appears advising you to initiate diesel
particulate filter manual regeneration.
Before you start manual regeneration, do
the following:
• Park your vehicle outside of any
enclosed structure.
• Make sure the transmission is in park
(P) or neutral (N).
• Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Park your vehicle a minimum of 10 ft
(3 m) from any obstructions and
materials that can easily combust or
melt, for example, paper, leaves, fuels,
plastics and other dry organic material.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 3.2 gal
(12 L) of fuel in the fuel tank.
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the engine coolant level.
Manual Regeneration
Where vehicle use has significant engine
idle operation, frequent vehicle speed less
than 25 mph (40 km/h), or driving short
distances where the engine does not fully
warm up, manual regeneration allows you
to start diesel particulate filter cleaning
when the engine is idling.
Use the manual regeneration feature
when:
• You are not able to drive in a manner
that allows effective automatic
cleaning. See Diesel Particulate
Filter Automatic Regeneration.
• You choose to manually start the
regeneration process when the engine
is idling.
Note: Changes in the engine or exhaust
sound may be heard during the regeneration
process.
Note: During regeneration at low speed or
engine idle, you may smell a hot metallic
odor and could notice a clicking metallic
sound. This is due to the high temperatures
reached during the regeneration process.
This is normal.
Starting Manual Regeneration
You can only start manual regeneration
with the engine running at normal
operating temperature using the
information display. See Information
Messages (page 100).
Note: During the use of manual
regeneration, you may observe a light
amount of white smoke. This is normal.
Note: If you press any pedal during manual
regeneration the engine may turn off. To
protect the exhaust system you may not be
able to restart the engine for 10 minutes.
If a warning illuminates you may
not be able to start manual
regeneration.
