If your vehicle is equipped with a
power take-off (PTO), monitor the
DIC for DPF related indicators. PTO
and other slow speed applications
may require more attention.
Selectable (Switch)
Regeneration Required
Warning Light
SEL REGEN. REQUIRED
Performing the“Selectable”
regeneration: After the Checking PM
Level Light is shown, this light
comes on in amber when
“Selectable” regeneration is
possible. When the DPF switch is
pressed with this light ON,
"Selectable" regeneration starts.
When the selectable regeneration or
switch regeneration is interrupted:
This light (amber) comes on when
the "Selectable" regeneration or
"Switch" regeneration is interrupted.
When this light comes on, perform
DPF regeneration promptly by
following the procedure for the
"Switch" regeneration. If you
continue to operate the vehicle
without performing DPF regeneration, the color of this light
changes to red from amber. When
this light comes on in red, perform
DPF regeneration immediately by
following the procedure for the
switch regeneration. If you do not
perform DPF regeneration, the
check engine malfunction indicator
light and reduced engine power
indicator light will come on,
imposing performance restriction on
the vehicle. If this situation happens,
the vehicle must be serviced. See
Diesel Particulate Filter
0161.
If your vehicle is equipped with a
power take-off (PTO), monitor the
DIC for DPF related indicators. PTO
and other slow speed applications
may require more attention.
Regeneration in Progress
Light
REGEN. IN PROGRESS
When this light is ON, DPF
regeneration is in progress. When
the vehicle is stationary, the exhaust
sound changes as the engine speed
increases. Also, operating sounds of
the exhaust throttle may be heard. Keep people and flammable objects
away from the exhaust pipe,
because the exhaust temperature
becomes high during regeneration.
When regeneration is completed,
the light goes out automatically. See
Diesel Particulate Filter
0161.
During extended engine idling, this
light may appear on the DIC and the
DPF may be automatically
regenerated.
Checking PM Level Light
CHECKING PM LEVEL
In the case of performing the
"Selectable" regeneration, this light
comes on when the DPF switch is
kept held down. While this light is
ON, the system is checking whether
or not the "Selectable" regeneration
is possible. If the "Selectable"
regeneration is possible, the light
changes to the selectable (switch)
regeneration required warning light.
If the indication does not change to
the selectable (switch) regeneration
required warning light, the
"Selectable" regeneration is not
possible.

EXH. SYSTEM
This light comes on when the SCR
system detects a malfunction or
incorrect DEF. SCR system will turn
on other indicator lights and reduce
engine power in progressive stages
to encourage you to have the
malfunction corrected. Continuing to
drive for too long after this light
turns on will eventually result in a
severe vehicle speed limitation.
If this light turns on, promptly have
the vehicle inspected and serviced
at your dealer. SeeDiesel Exhaust
Fluid 0170.
Refill Diesel Exhaust Fluid
(DEF) Warning Light
REFILL DEF
This message displays and a
warning light appears when the DEF
tank is almost empty. Add DEF as
soon as possible.
Engine power will be reduced and
vehicle speed will be limited when
this light is activated. Failure to
promptly refill the DEF tank will result in a severe vehicle speed
limitation. See
Diesel Exhaust Fluid
0 170.
When DIC ERROR is Displayed
ERROR
If the system has not yet been able
to access maintenance data,
ERROR is shown on the DIC.
If ERROR does not change
automatically to a distance or other
maintenance indication, have your
vehicle serviced at your dealer.
Maintenance Data Indicator
Lights
Maintenance data indicator lights
appear on the DIC when each
maintenance item is selected or
when the next change or service
interval of the item is near or has
been reached.
The distance or time shown is the
remaining or excess of them to /
from the change or service timing.
The positive distance or time shows
the remaining of that and the
negative distance or time shows the
excess of that. For the items listed below, the displayed color will
change from green to amber when
remaining distance is below
1 000 km (1,000 mi) and the screen
is selected.
These screens are also displayed
when the engine control switch
turns to the ON position after above
notification timing. The message
remains on the display until the DIC
selector is pressed once or the
vehicle is started.
The maintenance data function
indicates the distance remaining
before the next scheduled
maintenance. Scheduled
maintenance time is approaching
when the display turns from green
to amber. Have the vehicle checked
and serviced at your dealer as soon
as possible.
The vehicle needs to be maintained
more often if it is driven in severe
conditions.

the vehicle compartment
(condensation). When this happens,
the audio may skip, and playback

beam which could cause hazardous
radiation exposure if directed
outside the player. Be sure to
