regeneration frequency will vary from
100 mi (160 km) - 310 mi (500 km)
between occurrences and each occurrence
will last between 10 and 20 minutes. You
can usually reduce the duration of
regeneration if you maintain a constant
speed above 30 mph (48 km/h). When the engine control module detects
that the diesel particulate filter is nearly
full of particulates, and you are not driving
your vehicle in a manner to allow effective
automatic cleaning, the information
display will show the following messages
as a reminder for you to drive in a manner
to clean the diesel particulate filter. If you
drive your vehicle in a manner to allow
effective automatic cleaning, the
information display will show a cleaning
exhaust filter message, which is the normal
regeneration process.

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.
