Driving and Operating
prevent the cleaning process from
completing. This will result in
increased fuel consumption and a
reduction in engine oil life.
You will also notice a change in the
exhaust sound and engine idle
speed. This is normal.
If you continue to drive with the DPF
warning message displayed and the
exhaust filter is not cleaned as
required, the SVS (Service Vehicle
Soon) message will be displayed,
since the self-cleaning process is
not feasible and a dealer service is
necessary.
If the diesel particulate filter is not
cleaned soon, the MIL (Malfunction
Indicator Lamp) will illuminate, an
'Engine Power is Reduced'
message will be displayed and a
dealer service will be
necessary. See

Caution
Permanent damage can occur to
the DPF or related components if
the required Ultra Low Sulfur
Diesel (15 ppm sulfur maximum)
or the recommended engine oil is
not used. This damage would not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
{
Warning
During DPF self cleaning or
during extended idling, the
exhaust system and exhaust
gases are very hot. Combustible
material could contact hot
exhaust components under the
vehicle and ignite. You or others
could be burnt. Do not park or idle
for an extended period of time
near or over paper, leaves, dry
grass, or other combustible
materials. Keep the exhaust area
clear of material that could ignite
or burn.
Caution
Extended idle should be avoided
as the DPF system will not self
clean. During extended idle
operation, monitor the DIC for
messages and take appropriate
action. Continued idling with the
warning message displayed may
cause irreversible damage to
the DPF.
