Over time diesel particulates build up in
the diesel particulate filter that are not
removed during the regeneration process.
The filter may need to be removed for
cleaning at approximately 120,000 mi
(195,000 km), actual mileage can greatly
vary depending on engine and vehicle
operating conditions. The diesel particulate
filter may require replacing at
approximately 250,000 mi (400,000 km)
depending on engine and vehicle operating
conditions.
In both cases a warning lamp
illuminates to inform you to have
your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
Automatic regeneration raises the exhaust
temperature to eliminate the soot
particles. During cleaning soot particles are
converted to harmless gasses. Once
cleaned the diesel particulate filter
continues to trap harmful diesel particles.
If you are driving your vehicle in a manner
to allow effective cleaning, the information
display shows a message to indicate that
automatic regeneration is in progress.
If you are not driving your vehicle in a
manner to allow effective cleaning, the
information display shows a message to
suggest that you drive in a manner to allow
automatic regeneration.
The automatic regeneration process is
most effective when you drive at a steady
vehicle speed of 30 mph (48 km/h) or
above for approximately 20 minutes. The
frequency and duration of the regeneration
process varies by how you drive your
vehicle, the outside air temperature and
altitude. Frequency varies between 100 mi
(160 km) and 310 mi (500 km) and each
regeneration process lasts between 10 and
20 minutes.
Note:
You may hear changes in the engine
or exhaust sound during the regeneration
process.
Note:
You may smell a hot metallic odor
or you may hear a clicking metallic sound
during the regeneration process at low
speed or engine idle. This is due to the high
temperatures reached during the
regeneration process. This is normal.
Diesel Particulate Filter Manual
Regeneration
(If Equipped)
WARNINGS
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The
regeneration process creates very high
exhaust gas temperatures and the exhaust
will radiate a considerable amount of heat
during and after regeneration and after you
have switched the engine off. This is a
potential fire hazard.
The normal operating temperature
of the exhaust system is very high.
Never work around or attempt to
repair any part of the exhaust system until
it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the diesel oxidation
catalytic converter or the diesel particulate
filter. The diesel oxidation catalytic
converter and the diesel particulate filter
heat up to very high temperatures after
only a short period of engine operation and
remain hot after you switch the engine off.

Diesel particulate filter warning
lamp.
If the diesel particulate filter is
near or at saturation, the warning lamp
appears advising you to initiate diesel
particulate filter manual regeneration.
Note:
Depending on vehicle options and
instrument cluster type fitted, a warning
message may appear with the warning
lamp.
