Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is self-cleaning. Main-
tain your current driving condition until regeneration
is completed.
•Exhaust System — Regeneration Completed— This
message indicates that the Diesel Particulate Filter
(DPF) self-cleaning is completed. If this message is
displayed, you will hear one chime to assist in alerting
you of this condition.
•Exhaust Service Required — See Dealer Now— This
messages indicates regeneration has been disabled due
to a system malfunction. At this point the engine
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) will register a fault
code, the instrument panel will display a MIL light.
CAUTION!
See your authorized dealer, as damage to the exhaust
system could occur soon with continued operation.•Exhaust Filter Full — Power Reduced See Dealer—
This message indicates the PCM has derated the
engine to limit the likelihood of permanent damage to
the after-treatment system. If this condition is not
corrected and a dealer service is not performed, exten-
sive exhaust after-treatment damage can occur. To
correct this condition it will be necessary to have your
vehicle serviced by your local authorized dealer.
NOTE:Failing to follow the oil change indicator, chang-
ing your oil and resetting the oil change indicator by 0
miles remaining will prevent the diesel exhaust filter
from performing it’s cleaning routine. This will shortly
result in a Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and re-
duced engine power. Only an authorized dealer will be
able to correct this condition.

indicator system. The oil change indicator system will
remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for
scheduled maintenance.

indicator message will illuminate. This means that ser-
vice is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions
such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or
cold ambient temperatures will influence when the “Oil
Change Required” message is displayed. Severe Operat-
ing Conditions can cause the change oil message to
illuminate as early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last
reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible,
within the next 500 miles (805 km).Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator
message after completing the scheduled oil change. If a
scheduled oil change is performed by someone other
than your authorized dealer, the message can be reset by
referring to the steps described under “Driver Informa-
tion Display (DID)” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.

vals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or twelve months,
