5.10.5 Inspecting Exhaust System
The system consists of two main canisters for exhaust treatment. Between the two exhaust canisters is a tube with a dosing
module (DM) for diesel exhaust fluid (DEF).
CAUTION
Engine exhaust stack may be hot. To avoid burns, do NOT touch exhaust canister when engine is running. Allow
sufficient cooling time after shut-down.
The exhaust system requires no regular maintenance, but it should be inspected periodically as follows:
1. Open the hood. Refer to 5.3.1 Opening Hood, page 256 .
IMPORTANT:
Ensure the exhaust system is secure to eliminate vibration.
