Warning
Do not leave the vehicle during
the regeneration.
Make sure that there are no
flammable materials near the
muffler, DPF, and exhaust pipe
which may result in a fire.
The temperature of exhaust
gases is high enough to burn you.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
Before starting manual
regeneration, make sure all of the
following safety conditions are met:
.
The vehicle is parked on level
ground, away from any
flammable materials.
.
The vehicle is parked outdoors,
away from any walls or
buildings.
.
The vehicle is at least 3 m (10 ft)
from any obstructions or
materials that may combust
or melt.
.
The shift lever is in P (Park).
.
The fuel tank is at least
one-eighth full.
.
All fluids are at the proper level.
.
No diagnostic trouble codes
have been set, and the
malfunction indicator lamp is
not on.
.
The engine coolant temperature
is above 71 °C (160 °F).
After making sure all safety
conditions have been met, press the
trip odometer reset stem or
thumbwheel on the steering wheel
for at least one second to select
Start on the infotainment display.
Follow the instructions in the DIC
messages. Touch ACCEPT to
acknowledge that all of these safety
conditions have been met and to
activate regeneration.
If the infotainment display returns to
the previous screen, then one or
more of the necessary safety
conditions has not been met. If you
cannot determine which condition
has not been met, see
www.gmupfitter.com to contact the
GM Upfitter Integration Group.
Continue to follow the instructions in
the DIC messages. Hold the
exhaust brake switch on the center
stack below the climate controls for
more than three seconds, and then
release it, to begin the regeneration
process.
If the EXHAUST BRAKE ON
message displays, then the switch
was released too soon. Press it
again to turn off the exhaust brake,
then try again when the DIC
message prompts.
When manual regeneration begins,
the engine speed increases, the
engine cooling fan sound increases,
and a DIC message indicates that
cleaning is in progress.
