2019 NISSAN TITAN Owner´s Manual

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel par-
ticulate filter in the exhaust system. The
diesel particulate filter reduces carbon
emissions by trapping exhaust particu-
lates (soot) before they reach the tailpipe.
You must properly maintain your diesel
particulate filter in order for it to function
properly. Regeneration of the diesel par-
ticulate filter occurs automatically during
operation above 5 mph (8 km/h) and re-
quires no actions from the driver. If you do a
lot of idling or stop and go driving, pay at-
tention to maintenance messages that
alert you when you need to drive to acti-
vate the automatic regeneration process.
For additional information, refer to the “Au-
tomatic regeneration” in the “Do-it-
yourself ” section of this manual.
SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION
SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a selective
catalytic reduction system designed to re-
duce emission levels of nitrogen oxides
from the exhaust of your diesel engine. This
system relies on the use of Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF) that you must replenish at cer-
tain intervals. Failure to maintain proper
DEF levels or if the DEF becomes contami-
nated will result in vehicle speed limitation
to 5 mph. For additional information, refer
to “Meters and gauges” in the “Instrument
panel” section and “Recommended
fluids/lubricants and capacities” in the “Ca-
pacities and specifications” section of this
manual.

Low Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
warning light
When this warning light illuminates, the
DEF fluid needs to be topped off.
For additional information, refer to the “Fuel
and refueling” section of this manual.
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
warning light
When the warning light illuminates, it indi-
cates that particulate matter is accumu-
lated to the specified amount of the limit in
the filter and the filter needs to regenerate.
For additional information, refer to “Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF)” in the “Maintenance”
section of this manual.
CAUTION
If you continue driving with the DPF
warning light on without performing
the filter regeneration, this will lead to
particle matter overload in the filter. If
this happens, the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) will turn on to indicate the
necessity that a NISSAN or qualified
dealer performs the service regenera-
tion. The performance of the engine
might be limited to protect the DPF
system.
Vehicle information display
The vehicle information display shows vari-
ous meters and gauges that pertain to the
diesel engine. The information that can be
found within the vehicle information dis-
play is as follows:
Exhaust temperature gauge
The exhaust temperature gauge is part of
the Auxiliary Gauges in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
Turbo meter
The turbo meter shows the amount of en-
gine boost.Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) LEVEL
This gauge indicates the level of DEF in the
diesel system.
The DEF LEVEL information screen can be
turned on or off in the vehicle information
display. For additional information, refer to
“How to use the vehicle information dis-
play” in the “Vehicle information display”
section of the Titan Owner’s Manual.
Water in Fuel warning light
If this light illuminates, pull off of the road in
a safe area, stop the engine and immedi-
ately drain the water from the fuel sedi-
ment filter. For additional information, refer
to “Draining water” in the “Do-it-yourself ”
section of this manual.
Malfunction warning light (red)
If the warning light illuminates this indi-
cates either coolant temperature is above
a critical threshold or the exhaust tem-
peratures are above a critical threshold.
When illuminated this lamp indicates the
need to stop the engine as soon as it can
be safely done. The engine must remain
shut down until the engine can be repaired.
