Notice:
Extended idle should be avoided because
the DPF system is not capable of self cleaning
at idle. During extended idle operation, monitor
the instrument panel telltale lights and Driver
Information Center for messages and take
appropriate indicated action. Continued idling
with the warning light/message on could cause
irreversible damage to the DPF requiring repair
and possible replacement that might not be covered
by the vehicle warranty.
When the yellow DPF indicator comes on, the filter is
dirty and needs cleaning. You will also notice a change
in the exhaust sound and engine idle speed. This is
normal. If you continue to drive and the exhaust filter is
not cleaned as required, the DPF indicator will change
from yellow to red. Continuing to drive the vehicle with
the red indicator can cause filter damage.
Vehicles with DPF have specific fuel and engine oil
requirements. See

or

for more
information on those requirements.
Notice:
Permanent damage can occur to the DPF
or related components if the required Ultra Low
Sulfur Diesel (15 ppm sulfur maximum) or low ash
CJ-4 engine oil is not used. This damage would not
be covered by the vehicle warranty.
For vehicles with Power Take-Off (PTO), monitor the
instrument panel cluster for lights related to the DPF.
All engines consume some amount of engine oil. Ash is
the by-product of engine oil consumption. The ash will
become trapped in the DPF over the life of the vehicle.
Eventually, the buildup of ash will restrict the exhaust
gases and the DPF will need to be cleaned or replaced.

accessories or modifying the vehicle.
