DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
MESSAGES
This engine meets all required diesel engine emissions
standards. To achieve these emissions standards,
your vehicle is equipped with a state-of-the-art engine
and exhaust system. These systems are seamlessly
integrated into your vehicle and managed by the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM manages
engine combustion to allow the exhaust system’s
catalyst to trap and burn Particulate Matter (PM)
pollutants, with no in
put or interaction on your part.
WARNING!
A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park
over materials that can burn. Such materials might be
grass or leaves 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 previously mentioned. Do
not complete the DPF regeneration process when the
vehicle is stopped.
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 e
xhaust 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.
