Clean now
You can also choose operator commanded
regeneration to clean the exhaust system
at this point. See the following Operator
Commanded Regeneration.
If you are not able to drive in a manner that
allows effective automatic cleaning or you
choose to carry out regeneration of the
diesel particulate filter while the engine is
idling, then operator commanded
regeneration must be carried out.
Operator Commanded Regeneration
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle is operated with significant
stationary operation, low speed drive
cycles less than 25 mph (40 km/h), short
drive cycles, drive time less than 15 minutes
or the vehicle does not fully warm up,
passive and active regeneration may not
sufficiently clean the diesel particulate
filter system. Operator commanded
regeneration allows you to manually start
diesel particulate filter cleaning while the
engine is idling. If you are not sure whether
your vehicle is fitted with this feature,
contact an authorized dealer.
When to Carry Out Operator Commanded
Regeneration
Use the operator commanded
regeneration feature when the following
message appears in the information
display and:
• You are not able to drive in a manner
that allows effective automatic
cleaning.
• You choose to manually start cleaning
the diesel particulate filter while the
engine is idling.
