Note:
The engine will not run properly if you
do not install the diesel fuel conditioner
module fuel filter in the housing or if the
filter bowl is not tightened to the
mechanical stop.
Note: You will need to purge the system of
air after removal or changing of the filter.
See purging air from the fuel system later
in this chapter.
Removal - Engine-mounted fuel filter
The engine-mounted fuel filter is a plastic
disposable cartridge. To remove it, do the
following: 1.
Disconnect both fuel lines by squeezing
the connector tabs and pulling the lines
straight off. Note:
Although the fuel system is not fully
pressurized when the vehicle is off, some
residual pressure may remain in the fuel
system since it can take some time for the
pressure to completely bleed off. Therefore,
we recommend you place a shop rag below
the filter connectors to absorb the small
amount of fuel that will drain.
2. Rotate the filter fully counterclockwise
until the peg is at the far end of the slot.
3. Pull the filter straight up from the bracket and discard the filter.
Installation – Engine-mounted fuel
filter
1. Install the new filter into the filter bracket. Turn the filter clockwise to
lock it in place.
2. Reconnect both fuel lines.
Note: Using a fuel that has more than
average impurities may require you to
replace the fuel filter more frequently than
the service interval specifies.
Note: You will need to purge the system of
air after removal or changing of the filter.
See purging air from the fuel system later
in this chapter.
Purging air from the fuel system
Turn the ignition key to on for 30 seconds,
then turn it to off. Do this six times in a row
to purge any trapped air from the fuel
system.
After filter service, a no start or rough
running engine may indicate that air is
entering the system through the filter bowl
seal or drain. Make sure the drain is tight
and you tightened the filter bowl to the
mechanical stop.

SELECTIVE CATALYTIC
REDUCTION SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a selective
catalytic reduction system to help reduce
emission levels of oxides of nitrogen from
the exhaust of the diesel engine. The
system automatically injects diesel
exhaust fluid into the exhaust system to
enable proper selective catalytic reduction
function.
Importance of maintaining the
Diesel Exhaust Fluid level
In order for the selective catalytic reduction
system to operate properly, the diesel
exhaust fluid level must be maintained.
Generally, the diesel exhaust fluid tank
should be filled during the oil change
service interval. See General
Maintenance Information (page 58).
However, certain conditions or driving
styles, such as trailer towing or fast rates
of acceleration, will require the refilling of
the diesel exhaust fluid tank more often.
The engine control unit will monitor the
amount of fluid available in the diesel
exhaust fluid tank. Running a system check
in the message center will indicate whether
the diesel exhaust fluid level is ok or if it is
less than 1/2 full. A message will display in
the message center when the diesel
exhaust fluid level is low and needs to be
refilled. When you see this message, you
should refill your tank. See the Information
displays chapter of your Owner ’s Manual
for information display functions. For
instructions on refilling your diesel exhaust
fluid tank, see filling the diesel exhaust
fluid tank in this supplement. Diesel Exhaust Fluid warning
messages and vehicle operations WARNINGS
Diesel exhaust fluid must be refilled
when low or replaced when
contaminated or the vehicle speed
will be speed limited to 50 mph (80 km/h).
In these conditions, drive with caution and
refill diesel exhaust fluid immediately. If
the diesel exhaust fluid becomes empty
or contaminated and fluid is not replaced,
your vehicle will become limited to idle
speed only once stopped. In these
conditions, be cautious where you stop
your vehicle because you may not be able
to drive long distances and will not be able
to maintain highway speeds until diesel
exhaust fluid is refilled or replaced. Tampering or disabling your vehicle
’s
exhaust aftertreatment system will
result in severe vehicle performance
limitation including eventual speed limiting
to 5 mph. Your vehicle
’s information display will
display a series of messages regarding the
amount of diesel exhaust fluid available.
A systems check will display messages
indicating the amount of diesel exhaust
fluid available (OK or under 1⁄2 full) or will
produce a warning message that displays
the mileage (kilometers) remaining as the
fluid in the diesel exhaust fluid tank nears
empty. For more information on warning
messages, see the Information Displays
chapter of your Owner ’s Manual. As the diesel exhaust fluid level
nears empty, the diesel exhaust
fluid warning symbol will be
displayed and chimes will sound with the
messages starting at 500 miles (805 km)
remaining before diesel exhaust fluid is
depleted. The warning symbol and
messages will continue until you refill the
diesel exhaust fluid tank.

REFUELING
Fueling Tips WARNING
Do not use starting fluid such as
ether or gasoline in the diesel air
intake system. Such fluids can cause
immediate explosive damage to the engine
and possible personal injury. Truck stops have pumps and nozzles
designed for larger, heavy-duty trucks.
When refueling at truck stops: if the nozzle
shuts off repeatedly when refueling, wait
5–
10 seconds; then use a slower rate of
flow (don ’t depress the nozzle trigger as
far). If air is allowed to enter the fuel system
(during fuel filter change or if you run out
of fuel) the engine will purge the trapped
air as it runs. To purge the air sooner: prior
to engine start, prime the system by turning
the key to on for 30 seconds then to off.
Repeat this several times. The engine may
run rough and produce white smoke while
air is in the system. This is normal.
An engine that suddenly becomes noisy or
operates poorly after a fuel fill could be
using substandard fuel (for example, high
water content, low cetane rating or
gasoline in the fuel). You should purchase
diesel fuel from a reputable station that
sells a large amount of diesel fuel.
Use only clean, approved containers that
will prevent the entry of dirt or water
whenever you store diesel fuel.
Diesel fuel must not be stored in a
galvanized container. The fuel will dissolve
the zinc in the galvanized container. The
zinc will then remain in the fuel. If you run
the contaminated fuel through the engine,
the zinc will deposit in the fuel injectors
causing expensive-to-repair damage.

Information display procedure
Start with your vehicle engine fully warmed
and then press the Info button on the
steering wheel until the information display
reads one of the following choices:
If you have warmed your vehicle up and
the diesel particulate filter needs cleaning,
a message requesting permission to initiate
filter cleaning will be displayed EXHST
XX% FULL CLEAN? Y/N or EXHAUST
FULL CLEAN? Y/N. Answer yes to this
prompt and then follow the prompts
regarding exhaust position as needed to
initiate Operator Commanded
Regeneration. Be sure to understand each
prompt. If you are not sure what is being
asked by each prompt, contact an
authorized dealer. The display will confirm
the operation has started and when it has
finished. If you have warmed your vehicle
up and the diesel particulate
filter is near or at saturation, the
powertrain fault indicator will illuminate
and message requesting permission to
initiate filter cleaning will be displayed
EXH AT LIMIT CLEAN? Y/N. Answer yes
to this prompt and then follow the
prompts regarding exhaust position as
needed to initiate Operator Commanded
Regeneration. Be sure to understand each
prompt. If you are not sure what is being
asked by each prompt, contact an
authorized dealer. The display will confirm
the operation has started and when it has
finished. You can also drive to clean the
filter. See Active regeneration earlier in this
chapter. The service engine soon light will
illuminate and the following
message
EXH OVER LIMIT
SERVICE NOW will appear when the
system is at the point of oversaturation.
You will not be able to allow cleaning. You
must have your vehicle serviced by an
authorized dealer. Once operator commanded regeneration
starts, the engine
’s rpm will rise to
approximately 2,000 - 2,400 rpm and the
cooling fan will increase speed; you will
hear a change in audible sound due to the
fan and engine speed increase.
It is not necessary to open the hood on the
engine compartment. Once operator
commanded regeneration is complete, the
engine rpm and fan will return to normal
idling. The exhaust system will remain very
hot for several minutes even after
regeneration is complete. Do not reposition
the vehicle over materials that could burn
until the exhaust system has had sufficient
time to cool. Depending on the amount of
soot collected by the diesel particulate
filter, ambient temperature, and altitude,
operator commanded regeneration may
last from 10 to 25 minutes.
How to interrupt or cancel Operator
Commanded Regeneration
If you need to cancel the operator
commanded regeneration, pressing the
brake, accelerator, or shutting off the
vehicle will stop the procedure. Depending
on the amount of time you allowed the
operator commanded regeneration to
operate, soot may not have had sufficient
time to be eliminated, but the exhaust
system and exhaust gas may still be hot.
If you shut your vehicle off during operator
commanded regeneration, you will notice
turbo flutter. This is a normal consequence
caused by shutting off a diesel engine
during boosted operation and is considered
normal.
Filter service and maintenance
Over time, a slight amount of ash will build
up in the diesel particulate filter, which is
not removed during the regeneration
process. The filter may need to be removed
for ash cleaning at approximately 120,000
miles (193,000 km) or greater (actual
mileage can vary greatly depending upon

FUEL SHUTOFF
In the event of a moderate to severe
collision, this vehicle is equipped with a
fuel pump shut-off feature that stops the
flow of fuel to the engine. Not every impact
will cause a shut-off.
After an accident, if the engine cranks but
does not start, this switch may have been
activated.
This switch is located on the passenger
’s
side of the instrument panel. Open the
front passenger door and remove the small
access panel The switch has a red button on top of it.
To reset the switch:
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Check the fuel system for leaks. 3. If no leaks are apparent, reset the
switch by pushing in on the reset
button.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. Wait a few seconds and return the key
to off.
6. Make another check for leaks.
Running Out Of DEF (Diesel
Exhaust Fluid)
If your vehicle runs out of DEF, it will enter
into a speed limited mode and can also
enter into an idle-only mode. Normal
vehicle operation will not resume until DEF
is refilled. See Selective Catalytic
Reduction System (page 20).
Contact roadside assistance for help in
finding a retailer that sells DEF. See the
Customer Assistance chapter in the
Owner ’s Manual for more information.
JUMP-STARTING THE VEHICLE WARNINGS
The gases around the battery can
explode if exposed to flames, sparks,
or lit cigarettes. An explosion could
result in injury or vehicle damage. Batteries contain sulfuric acid which
can burn skin, eyes and clothing, if
contacted.
Use only an adequate-sized cable
with insulated clamps.
Preparing Your Vehicle
Note:
Do not attempt to push-start your
automatic transmission vehicle. Automatic
transmissions do not have push-start
capability. Attempting to push-start a
vehicle with an automatic transmission may
cause transmission damage.
