Your vehicle has entered the cleaning mode. Various engine
actions raise the exhaust temperature in the diesel particulate
filter system to burn off the particles (exhaust soot). After
the vehicle burns off the particles, the exhaust temperature
returns to normal levels. This message is normal.
CLEANING EXHAUST
FILTER
The diesel particulate filter is full of particles (exhaust soot)
and you are not operating the vehicle in a manner that allows
normal cleaning. One of these messages stays on until the
exhaust filter cleaning has begun, at which time the CLEANING
EXHAUST FILTER message displays. We recommend you
drive the vehicle above 30 mph (48 km/h) until the CLEANING
EXHAUST FILTER message turns off.

The diesel particulate filter continues to fill with particles
(exhaust soot) if you ignore this message. The service engine
soon light illuminates and engine power may be limited, if
cleaning is not permitted. Your vehicle requires dealer service
to restore it to full–power operation.
Your vehicle exhaust system temperature exceeds intended
operating range. If this warning occurs, a chime sounds,
followed by reduced engine power. The engine shuts down
when your vehicle speed is below 3 mph (5 km/h). Stop the
vehicle as soon as safely possible. Have the system checked
by an authorized dealer.
