to the after-treatment system. If this condition is not corrected and a dealer service
is not performed, extensive exhaust after-treatment damage can occur. Have your
vehicle serviced by your local authorized dealer.
See your authorized dealer, as damage to the exhaust system could occur with the
exhaust filter full.
