Diesel Particulate Filter
The vehicle has a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) as part
of the exhaust system to reduce vehicle emissions. The
DPF requires a unique exhaust tailpipe with an exhaust
cooler. The exhaust cooler mixes air with the exhaust to
lower the temperature before it leaves the tailpipe.
The DPF, the tailpipe, or other exhaust system
components must not be altered. Inspect regularly and
clean any mud or dirt from the exhaust cooler,
especially where the exhaust cooler connects to the
tailpipe and the openings where fresh air enters
the cooler. See “Exhaust System Inspection” under At
Least Twice a Year on page 6-27.
The DPF will clean itself as part of normal operation.
Several factors including fuel consumed, hours of engine
operation and miles driven are monitored by the Engine
Control Module (ECM). The self cleaning occurs
approximately once per tank of fuel.
During self cleaning, the
green DPF indicator light
will come on. See
Diesel Particulate Filter
Warning Light on
page 3-46.
To clean the filter, either drive the vehicle above 30 mph
(50 km/h) to activate self cleaning, or stop the vehicle
and perform the manual cleaning procedure. For
self cleaning, drive until the green DPF indicator light
goes off. This will take approximately 20 minutes. Once
self cleaning has started, drive until the green indicator
light goes off to complete the cleaning in a single
operation if possible.
Extended idling can cause exhaust parts and gases to
become very hot. Keep the exhaust area clear of
material that could ignite or burn. See Parking Over
Things That Burn on page 2-44 for more information.
{
CAUTION:
During DPF self cleaning or during extended idling
in P (Park), the exhaust system and exhaust
gases are very hot. Things that burn could touch
hot exhaust parts under the vehicle and ignite.
You or others could be burned. Do not park, or
idle for an extended period of time, near or over
papers, leaves, dry grass, or other things that can
burn. Keep the exhaust area clear of material that
could ignite or burn. See Parking Over Things
That Burn on page 2-44 for more information.
