sage on the EVIC + Engine emission filter lamp lighted
solid indicates that the exhaust particulate filter load-
ing is above the specified range and a regeneration is
required.
• Safely Drive at Highway Speeds to Remedy (the
procedure lasts roughly 15 minutes at speed of about
40 mph (60 km/h) and with engine speed above
approximately 2000 rpm).
• When the exaust filter is overloaded the MIL lamp will
turn on and the “Service engine” message will display
in the EVIC, ETC lamp blinks and the PCM limits the
engine power to limit the likelihood of permanent
damage to the after-treatment system. To correct this

CAUTION!
See your authorized dealer, as damage to the exhaust
system could occur soon with continued operation.
