Failure to comply with the following instructions for
operator commanded regeneration (OCR) may result in fire,
serious injury, death and/or property damage.
Before you start OCR, observe/do the following:

Place the vehicle in P (Park) with the parking brake set on stable,
level ground.
•
The vehicle must not be parked in a structure.
