loaded Clean Now Follow the prompts regarding exhaust position as required
to start manual regeneration. Make sure you understand each
prompt. The information display confirms that regeneration
has started and when it is completed.
Note: You cannot use the manual regeneration until the diesel particulate filter load
percentage has reached 100 percent. The diesel particulate filter load percentage fluctuates
when driving due to automatic regeneration.
When you start manual regeneration the
engine speed rises to approximately
2000– 2500 rpm and the cooling fan
speed increases. A change in engine noise
due to the cooling fan and engine speed
increase may be heard during the
regeneration process.
Depending on the amount of soot
collected by the diesel particulate filter,
the regeneration process varies depending
on the outside air temperature and
altitude. Manual regeneration may last up
to 40 minutes. When manual regeneration is complete
the cooling fan and engine speed return to
normal idling. The exhaust system remains
very hot for several minutes after
regeneration is complete. Do not reposition
the vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or
other combustible materials until the
exhaust system has had sufficient time to
cool.
Interrupt or Cancel Manual Regeneration
You can interrupt or cancel manual
regeneration by switching the engine off.
It may be possible to interrupt or cancel
manual regeneration by pressing any
pedal.
Note:
To protect the exhaust system you
may not be able to restart the engine for 10
minutes.

Depending on the amount of time allowed
for manual regeneration to operate, soot
may not have had sufficient time to be
eliminated. The exhaust system may still
be very hot for several minutes after
regeneration.
If you switch the engine off during manual
regeneration, turbo charger flutter occurs.
This is a consequence of switching a diesel
engine off during turbo charger boost
operation, which is normal.
Manual Regeneration with Automatic
Regeneration Control
Where vehicle use has significant engine
idle operation, frequent vehicle speed less
than 25 mph (40 km/h), or driving short
distances where the engine does not fully
warm up, automatic regeneration could
not sufficiently clean the diesel particulate
filter. You can switch automatic
regeneration off until you can drive your
vehicle in a manner to allow effective
cleaning, for example at a steady vehicle
speed of
30 mph (48 km/h) or above for
approximately 20 minutes. You can then
switch automatic regeneration back on to
clean the diesel particulate filter.
To switch the automatic regeneration control on and off, from the main menu
scroll to: Action and Description

GENERAL INFORMATION
Wet brakes result in reduced braking
efficiency. Gently press the brake pedal a
few times when driving from a car wash or
standing water to dry the brakes.
Note:
Occasional brake noise is normal. If
a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding or
continuous squeal sound is present, the
brake linings may be worn-out. Have the
system checked by an authorized dealer. If
your vehicle has continuous vibration or
shudder in the steering wheel while braking,
have it checked by an authorized dealer.
Note: Brake dust may accumulate on the
wheels, even under normal driving
conditions. Some dust is inevitable as the
brakes wear and does not contribute to
brake noise. See Cleaning the Wheels
(page 302).
Note: Depending on applicable laws and
regulations in the country for which your
vehicle was originally built, the brake lamps
could flash during heavy braking. Following
this, the hazard lights could also flash when
your vehicle comes to a stop.
Brake Over Accelerator
In the event that the accelerator pedal
becomes stuck or entrapped, apply steady
and firm pressure to the brake pedal to
slow your vehicle and reduce engine
power. If you experience this condition,
apply the brakes and bring your vehicle to
a safe stop. Move the transmission to park
(P), switch the engine off and apply the
parking brake. Inspect the accelerator
pedal for any interference. If none are
found and the condition persists, have your
vehicle towed to the nearest authorized
dealer. Brake Assist
Brake assist detects when you rapidly
brake by measuring the rate at which you
press the brake pedal. It provides
maximum braking efficiency as long as you
press the pedal, and can reduce stopping
distances in critical situations
Anti-Lock Brake System
This system helps you maintain steering
control during emergency stops by keeping
the brakes from locking.
If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction. Your vehicle
continues to have normal braking without
the anti-lock brake system function. Have
your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
It also momentarily illuminates when you
switch the ignition on to confirm the lamp
is functional. If it does not illuminate when
you switch the ignition on, or begins to
flash at any time, have the system checked
by an authorized dealer. It illuminates when you engage
the parking brake and the
ignition is on.
If it illuminates when your vehicle is
moving, make sure the parking brake is
disengaged. If the parking brake is
disengaged, this indicates low brake fluid
level or a brake system fault. Have your
vehicle immediately checked.
It also momentarily illuminates when you
switch the ignition on to confirm the lamp
is functional. If it does not illuminate when
you switch the ignition on, or begins to
flash at any time, have the system checked
by an authorized dealer.
