Disabled Exhaust Filter Cleaning

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.
