Exhaust System — Regeneration Required Now. Under conditions of
exclusive short duration and low
speed driving and low speed driv-
ing cycles, the engine and exhaust
after-treatment system may never
reach the conditions required to re-
move the trapped PM. If this occurs
the “Exhaust System Regeneration
Required Now” message will be
displayed on the EVIC. By driving
your vehicle at highway speeds for
as little as 30 minutes, you can rem-
edy the condition in the particulate
filter system by allowing the trapped PM to be removed to re-
store the system to normal operat-
ing condition.
Exhaust Service Require — See Dealer Now. The engine will be de-
rated to prevent permanent dam-
age to the after-treatment system. If
this condition occurs, it is necessary
to have your vehicle serviced by
your local authorized dealer.
Exhaust System — Regeneration Completed. Indicates that the Die-
sel Particulate Filter (DPF) self-
cleaning is completed. If this mes-
sage is displayed, you will hear one
chime to assist in alerting you of
this condition.
Exhaust System — Regeneration In Process. Indicates that the Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF) is self-
cleaning. Maintain your current
driving condition until regenera-
tion is completed.
Exhaust Filter Full — Power Re- duced See Dealer. The PCM derates
the engine in order to limit the like-
lihood of permanent damage to the
after-treatment system. If this con- dition is not corrected and a dealer
service is not performed, extensive
exhaust after-treatment damage
can occur. In order to correct this
condition it will be necessary to
have your vehicle serviced by your
local authorized dealer. See your
authorized dealer, as damage to the
exhaust system could occur soon
with continued operation.

TOWING TIPS
Before setting out on a trip, practice
turning, stopping and backing the
trailer in an area away from heavy
traffic.
Automatic Transmission
The DRIVE gear can be selected when
towing. However, if frequent shifting
occurs while in DRIVE, select a lower
gear range using the Electronic Range
Select (ERS) shift control. NOTE:
Using a lower gear range while op-
erating the vehicle under heavy
operating conditions will improve
performance and extend transmis-
sion life by reducing excessive
shifting and heat build up. This
action will also provide better en-
gine braking.
The automatic transmission fluid and
filter should be changed if you REGU-
LARLY tow a trailer for more than
45 minutes of continuous operation.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.
Electronic Speed Control (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
Do not use in hilly terrain or with
heavy loads.
When using the speed control, if you experience speed drops greater
than 16 km/h, disengage until you
can get back to cruising speed.
Use speed control in flat terrain and with light loads to maximize fuel
efficiency.
265
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights
that are lightweight and less suscep-
tible to stone breakage than glass
headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as
glass and therefore different lens
cleaning procedures must be fol-
lowed.
To minimize the possibility of scratch-
ing the lenses and reducing light out-
put, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To
remove road dirt, wash with a mild
soap solution followed by rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning compo-
nents, solvents, steel wool or other
aggressive material to clean the
lenses.
Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned
on a regular basis with any commer-
cial household-type glass cleaner.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner.
Use caution when cleaning the inside
rear window equipped with electric
defrosters or the right rear quarter
window equipped with the radio an-tenna. Do not use scrapers or other
sharp instruments that may scratch
the elements.
When cleaning the rearview mirror,
spray cleaner on the towel or rag that
you are using. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the mirror.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument
Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments
in this vehicle are molded in clear
plastic. When cleaning the lenses,
care must be taken to avoid scratch-
ing the plastic.
1. Clean with a wet soft rag. A mild
soap solution may be used, but do not
use high alcohol content or abrasive
cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean
with a clean damp rag.
2. Dry with a soft cloth.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the seat
belts with chemical solvents or abra-
sive cleaners. This will weaken the
fabric. Sun damage can also weaken
the fabric.
If the seat belts need cleaning, use a
mild soap solution or lukewarm wa-
ter. Do not remove the belts from the
car to wash them.
Replace the seat belts if they appear
frayed or worn, or if the buckles do
not work properly.
CLEANING THE
INSTRUMENT PANEL
CUPHOLDERS
Removal
Pull the flexible liner from the cup-
holder drawer starting at one edge to
ease removal.
Cleaning
The liner is top shelf dishwasher safe,
or you may follow the cleaning proce-
dure below.
Soak the liner in a mixture of medium
hot tap water and one teaspoon of
mild liquid dish soap. Let soak for
approximately 30 minutes. After
30 minutes, pull the liner from the
water and dip it back into the water
about six times. This will loosen any
remaining debris. Rinse the liner thor-
oughly under warm running water.
