GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 135
Your vehicle has the ability to alert you to
additional maintenance required on your vehicle or
engine. Refer to the following messages that may
be displayed on your instrument cluster display:
Exhaust Filter Nearing Full Safely Drive at
Consistent Speeds to Clear — This message will
be displayed if the exhaust particulate filter
reaches 80% of its maximum storage capacity.
Under conditions of exclusive short duration
and low speed driving cycles, your diesel engine
and exhaust after-treatment system may never
reach the conditions required to cleanse the
filter to remove the trapped PM. If this occurs,
the “Exhaust Filter XX% Full Safely Drive at
Highway Speeds to Remedy” message will be
displayed. If this message is displayed, you will
hear one chime to assist in alerting you of this
condition. By simply driving your vehicle at
highway speeds for up to 20 minutes, you can
remedy the condition in the particulate filter
system and allow your diesel engine and
exhaust after-treatment system to cleanse the
filter to remove the trapped PM and restore the
system to normal operating condition.
Exhaust System Regeneration in Process
Continue Driving — This message indicates that
the DPF is self-cleaning. Maintain your current
driving condition until regeneration is
completed.
Exhaust System — Regeneration Completed —
This message indicates that the DPF
self-cleaning is completed. If this message is
displayed, you will hear one chime to assist in
alerting you of this condition.
Exhaust System Service Required — See Dealer
— This message indicates regeneration has
been disabled due to a system malfunction. At
this point the engine Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) will register a fault code, the instrument
panel will display a Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) light.
Exhaust Filter Full — Power Reduced
See Dealer — This message indicates the PCM
has derated the engine to limit the likelihood of
permanent damage to the after-treatment
system. If this condition is not corrected and a
dealer service is not performed, extensive
exhaust after-treatment damage can occur. To
correct this condition it will be necessary to have
your vehicle serviced by an authorized dealer.
WARNING!
A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park
over materials that can burn, such as grass or
leaves, and those items coming into contact with
your exhaust system. Do not park or operate
your vehicle in areas where your exhaust system
can contact anything that can burn.
CAUTION!
The engine may be switched off even if the
warning light is on: repeated interruptions of the
regeneration process could cause an early
deterioration of engine oil. For this reason it is
always advisable to wait for the symbol to go off
before turning off the engine, following the
instructions above. Do not complete the DPF
regeneration process when the vehicle is
stopped.
CAUTION!
See an authorized dealer, as damage to the
exhaust system could occur soon with continued
operation.
