ESSAGES
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 input
or interaction on your part.
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
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 above. Do not
complete the DPF regeneration process when
the vehicle is stopped.
