according to engine needs. Oil
pressure may change quickly as the
engine speed or load varies. This is
normal. If the oil pressure warning
light or DIC message indicates oil
pressure outside the normal
operating range, check the vehicle's
oil as soon as possible.

Engine Power Messages
ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED
This message displays when the
vehicle's propulsion power is
reduced. A reduction in propulsion
power can affect the vehicle's ability
to accelerate. If this message is on,
but there is no observed reduction
in performance, proceed to your
destination. The performance may be reduced the next time the vehicle
is driven. The vehicle may be driven
while this message is on, but
maximum acceleration and speed
may be reduced. Anytime this
message stays on, or displays
repeatedly, the vehicle should be
taken to your dealer for service as
soon as possible.
Under certain operating conditions,
propulsion will be disabled. Try
restarting after the vehicle has been
off for 30 seconds.
Vehicle Speed Messages
SPEED LIMITED TO XXX KM/
H (MPH)
This message shows that the
vehicle speed has been limited to
the speed displayed. The limited
speed is a protection for various
propulsion and vehicle systems,
such as lubrication, thermal, brakes,
suspension, Teen Driver if
equipped, or tires.
If equipped with a diesel engine,

Manual Regeneration of Diesel
Particulate Filter
This feature is only available on
Fleet and Commercial vehicles.
To verify that the vehicle has this
feature, refer to the Vehicle Service
Parts Identification label (SPID) for
RPO code FPF or see
www.gmupfitter.com to contact the
GM Upfitter Integration Group.
If equipped, this feature allows for
manual cleaning/regeneration of the
DPF when it is unable to clean
itself. It may be necessary to
perform manual regeneration if
driving conditions —such as
extended slow speed, stop-and-go
traffic, extended idling, short drive
cycles, or stationary PTO operation
— prevent DPF self-cleaning. Manual regeneration can only be
used when the DPF has become at
least 90% full. At 100% full, it will
attempt to automatically self-clean if
proper driving conditions are met.
The DPF will clean itself if the
vehicle can be driven for about
30 minutes.
A DIC message displays when
manual regeneration is possible.
Scroll through the DIC pages to find
the Exhaust Cleaning menu.
Depending on whether the vehicle
has a base or uplevel cluster, it may
be under the Settings menu.
If the vehicle cannot be stopped
when the DIC message first
indicates cleaning is available,
automatic self-cleaning may have
begun. If conditions cannot be met
for self-cleaning to complete, and
manual regeneration is selected, it
may take up to four minutes for the
system to switch to manual
regeneration. When the switch
occurs, a DIC message prompts to
start the cleaning process.
{Warning
Do not leave the vehicle during
the regeneration.
Make sure that there are no
flammable materials near the
muffler, DPF, and exhaust pipe
which may result in a fire.
The temperature of exhaust
gases is high enough to burn you.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
Before starting manual
regeneration, make sure all of the
following safety conditions are met:
. The vehicle is parked on level
ground, away from any
flammable materials.
. The vehicle is parked outdoors,
away from any walls or
buildings.
. The vehicle is at least 3 m (10 ft)
from any obstructions or
materials that may combust
or melt.
