history of 500 miles (800 km).

This value is not the same as the average
fuel economy display. The running average
fuel economy resets to a factory default
value if the battery is disconnected.

Average fuel economy displays your
average fuel economy in miles per gallon
or liters/100 km.

Diesel Messages

WARNING

When the CLEANING EXHAUST
FILTER message appears in the
information display, do not park near

flammable materials, vapors or structures
until filter cleaning is complete.

Action

Message

The coolant additive needs checking.

CHECK COOLANT

ADDITIVE

Your vehicle has entered the cleaning mode. Various engine

actions raise the exhaust temperature in the diesel particulate

filter system to burn off the particles (exhaust soot). After

the vehicle burns off the particles, the exhaust temperature

returns to normal levels. This message is normal.

CLEANING EXHAUST

FILTER

The diesel particulate filter is full of particles (exhaust soot)

and you are not operating the vehicle in a manner that allows

normal cleaning. One of these messages stays on until the

exhaust filter cleaning has begun, at which time the CLEANING

EXHAUST FILTER message displays. We recommend you

drive the vehicle above 30 mph (48 km/h) until the CLEANING

EXHAUST FILTER message turns off.

EXHAUST OVER-

LOADED DRIVE TO

CLEAN

EXHAUST AT LIMIT

DRIVE TO CLEAN NOW

The diesel particulate filter continues to fill with particles

(exhaust soot) if you ignore this message. The service engine

soon light illuminates and engine power may be limited, if

cleaning is not permitted. Your vehicle requires dealer service

to restore it to full–power operation.

Your vehicle exhaust system temperature exceeds intended

operating range. If this warning occurs, a chime sounds,

followed by reduced engine power. The engine shuts down

when your vehicle speed is below 3 mph (5 km/h). Stop the

vehicle as soon as safely possible. Have the system checked

by an authorized dealer.

STOP SAFELY NOW

The diluted engine oil needs to be changed.

ENGINE OIL DILUTED

Your vehicle will have reduced engine torque until the engine

is warmed sufficiently.

off due to your vehicle being in the final 30 seconds of a

countdown. The diesel engine shutdown for extended idling

is an optional feature.
