Disabled Exhaust Filter Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Operate vehicle with the exhaust filter cleaning mode switch in the AUTO position.

If your vehicle must be used in a situation not suited for higher temperatures created during exhaust filter cleaning, the system can be temporarily disabled. Be sure to deactivate the disabled exhaust filter cleaning mode as soon as possible to avoid soot buildup in the exhaust filter.

While in disabled mode, if the system determines that soot buildup in the exhaust filter requires cleaning, Exhaust Filter Indicator - Restriction (B) comes on. Press exhaust filter cleaning switch (A) to return to Automatic (AUTO) mode. High Exhaust Temperature Indicator (C) remains illuminated during the exhaust filter cleaning.

Do not disable automatic exhaust filter cleaning unless it is absolutely necessary. If disabled mode is used frequently, the system will eventually activate a parked exhaust filter cleaning. Meaning that the engine performance is reduced and will not return to normal until a park exhaust filter cleaning is performed.
