Make sure the transmission is in park
(P) or neutral (N).
•
Make sure the parking brake is on.
•
Park your vehicle a minimum of 10 ft
(3 m) from any obstructions and
materials that can easily combust or
melt, for example, paper, leaves, fuels,
plastics and other dry organic material.
•
Make sure there is a minimum of 3.2 gal
(12 L) of fuel in the fuel tank.
•
Check the engine oil level.
•
Check the engine coolant level.
Manual Regeneration
Where vehicle use has significant engine
idle operation, frequent vehicle speed less
than 25 mph (40 km/h), or driving short
distances where the engine does not fully
warm up, manual regeneration allows you
to start diesel particulate filter cleaning
when the engine is idling.
Use the manual regeneration feature
when:
•
You are not able to drive in a manner
that allows effective automatic
cleaning. See Diesel Particulate
Filter Automatic Regeneration.
•
You choose to manually start the
regeneration process when the engine
is idling.
To start manual regeneration, from the main menu scroll to:

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.
Starting Manual Regeneration
You can only start manual regeneration
with the engine running at normal
operating temperature using the
information display. See Information
Messages (page 98).
Note: Opening the hood is not necessary.
Note: During the use of manual
regeneration, you may observe a light
amount of white smoke. This is normal.
Note: If you press any pedal during manual
regeneration the engine may turn off. To
protect the exhaust system you may not be
able to restart the engine for 10 minutes.
If a warning illuminates you may
not be able to start manual
regeneration.
