NOTE:
A delay of the start-up can be as long as five seconds under very cold conditions. The
"Wait to Start" telltale will be illuminated during the pre-heat process and the start
will commence upon the telltale going out.
CAUTION!
If the “Water in Fuel Indicator Light” remains on, DO NOT START the engine
before you drain the water from the fuel filters to avoid engine damage. Refer to
“Maintenance Procedures/Draining Fuel/Water Separator Filter” in “Maintaining
Your Vehicle” in your Diesel Supplement on the DVD for further information.
Extreme Cold Weather
• The engine block heater is a resistance heater installed in the water jacket of theengine. It requires a 110–115 Volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wire
extension cord.
• Its use is recommended for environments that routinely fall below -10°F. It should be used when the vehicle has not been running overnight or longer periods and
should be plugged in two hours prior to start. Its use is required for cold starts with
temperatures under -20°F.
• A 12 Volt heater built into the fuel filter housing aids in preventing fuel gelling. It is controlled by a built-in thermostat.
• A Diesel Pre-Heat system both improves engine starting and reduces the amount of white smoke generated by a warming engine.
NOTE:
The engine block heater cord is a factory installed option. If your vehicle is not
equipped, heater cords are available from your authorized MOPAR
®dealer.
Water In Fuel Message
If a Water In Fuel message orindicator appears in the cluster and a chime
sounds five times, the fuel/water separator will need to be drained immediately to
prevent engine damage.
Refer to “Draining Fuel Water Separator” in this guide for draining instructions or see
your dealer.

EXHAUST REGENERATION
Under certain conditions, your Cummins®diesel engine and exhaust after-treatment
system may never reach the conditions required to remove the trapped particulate
matter. If this occurs, the “Exhaust System — Regeneration Required Now” message
will be displayed on the EVIC screen in your cluster and you will hear one chime to
alert you of this condition. Driving your vehicle at highway speeds for as little as
45 minutes can remedy the condition and allow the engine and exhaust after-
treatment system to remove the trapped particulate matter.
NOTE:
Under typical operating conditions, NO indications of regeneration state will be
displayed. If you do reach 80% of filter capacity, the following messages will assist
you in inducing and understanding the regeneration process.
Perform Service
Your vehicle will require emissions maintenance at a set interval. To help remind you
when this maintenance is due, the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will
display “Perform Service”. When the “Perform Service” message is displayed on the
EVIC it is necessary to have the emissions maintenance performed. Emissions mainte-
nance may include replacing the Closed Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) filter element, and
cleaning of the EGR Cooler. The procedure for clearing and resetting the “Perform
Service” indicator message is located in the appropriate Service Information.
Exhaust System — Regeneration Required Now
“Exhaust System—Regeneration Required Now” will be displayed on the EVIC if the
exhaust particulate filter reaches 80% of its maximum storage capacity.
Exhaust Filter XX% Full
Indicates that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is approaching full.
Exhaust System — Regeneration in Process Exhaust Filter XX% Full
Indicates that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is self-cleaning. Maintain your
current driving condition until regeneration is completed.
