message is displayed, you will hear one chime to assist
in alerting you of this condition
• By simply driving your vehicle at highway speeds for
as little as 45 minutes, you can remedy the condition in
the particulate filter system and allow your Cum-
mins® diesel engine and exhaust after-treatment sys-
tem to remove the trapped PM and restore the system
to normal operating condition.
