DIESEL MESSAGES AND WARNINGS
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Messages
The Cummins® diesel engine meets all diesel
emissions standards, resulting in one of the lowest
emitting diesel engines ever produced. To achieve
these emissions standards, your vehicle is
equipped with a state-of-the-art engine and
exhaust system. These systems are seamlessly
integrated into your vehicle and managed by the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM
manages engine combustion to allow the exhaust
system’s catalyst to trap and burn Particulate
Matter (PM) pollutants, with no input or interaction
on your part.
Your vehicle has the ability to alert you to
additional maintenance required on your vehicle or
engine. The following messages may display in
your instrument cluster display:
Perform Service — Your vehicle will require emis -
sions maintenance at a set interval. To help
remind you when this maintenance is due, the
instrument cluster display will display “Perform
Service”. When the “Perform Service” message
is displayed in the instrument cluster display it is
necessary to have the emissions maintenance
performed. Emissions maintenance may
include replacing the Closed Crankcase Ventila -
tion (CCV) filter element. The procedure for
clearing and resetting the "Perform Service"
indicator message is located in the appropriate
Service Information.
Exhaust System — Regeneration Required
Now — "Exhaust Filter XX% Full Safely Drive at
Highway Speeds to Remedy" will be displayed in
the instrument cluster display if the exhaust
particulate filter reaches 80% of its maximum
storage capacity. Under conditions of exclusive
short duration and low speed driving cycles,
your Cummins® diesel engine and exhaust
after-treatment system may never reach the
conditions required to remove the trapped PM.
If this occurs, the “Exhaust Filter XX% Full Safely
Drive at Highway Speeds to Remedy” message
will be displayed in the instrument cluster
display. If this message is displayed, you will
hear one chime to assist in alerting you of this
condition
WARNING!
A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park
over materials that can burn. Such materials
might be grass or leaves coming into contact
with your exhaust system. Do not park or
operate your vehicle in areas where your
exhaust system can contact anything that can
burn.

22_DPF_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 90

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL91
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 Cummins® diesel engine and
exhaust after-treatment system to remove the
trapped PM and restore the system to normal
operating condition.
Exhaust System — Regeneration In Process
Exhaust Filter XX% Full — Indicates that the DPF
is self-cleaning. Maintain your current driving
condition until regeneration is completed.
Exhaust System — Regeneration Completed —
This message indicates that the DPF
self-cleaning is completed. If this message is
displayed, you will hear one chime to assist in
alerting you of this condition.
Exhaust Service Required — See Dealer Now —
This message indicates regeneration has been
disabled due to a system malfunction. At this
point the engine Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) will register a fault code, the instrument
panel will display a MIL light.
Exhaust Filter Full — Power Reduced See
Dealer — This message indicates the PCM has
derated the engine to limit the likelihood of
permanent damage to the after-treatment
system. If this condition is not corrected and a
dealer service is not performed, extensive
exhaust after-treatment damage can occur. To
correct this condition it will be necessary to have
your vehicle serviced by an authorized dealer.
NOTE:Failing to follow the oil change indicator, changing
your oil and resetting the oil change indicator by
0 miles remaining will prevent the diesel exhaust
filter from performing it's cleaning routine. This will
shortly result in a Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
and reduced engine power. Only an authorized
dealer will be able to correct this condition.
Cold Ambient Derate Mode Messages
The vehicle will display messages when a derate
(engine power reduction) is activated to protect the
engine during start-up in cold ambient
temperatures.
Engine Power Reduced During Warm-up — This
message will display during start-up when the
ambient temperature is between 10°F (-12°C)
and -10°F (-23°C).
Engine Power Reduced Up To 30 Sec (Seconds)
During Warm-up — This message will display
during start-up when the ambient temperature
is between -10°F (-23°C) and -25°F (-32°C).
Engine Power Reduced Up To 2 Min (Minutes)
During Warm-up — This message will display
during start-up when the ambient temperature
is -25°F (-32°C) and below.
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine warm
up protection feature that may limit engine
performance after cold starting at low ambient
temperatures. The length of time engine speed
is limited is dependent upon engine coolant
temperature. Engine speed may be briefly
limited to 1,000 RPM after starting with coolant
temperature below freezing conditions, and
may be limited to 1,000 RPM for up to approxi -
mately two minutes under more severe cold
conditions.
Coolant Low — This telltale will turn on to indi -
cate the vehicle coolant level is low
Ú page 341.CAUTION!
See an authorized dealer, as damage to the
exhaust system could occur soon with continued
operation.
CAUTION!

Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Starting Procedure —
Engine Manifold Air Temperature 0°F To
66°F (–18°C to 19°C)
NOTE:The temperature displayed in the instrument
cluster does not necessarily reflect the engine
manifold air temperature Ú page 81. When
engine temperatures fall below 66°F (19°C) the
“Wait To Start” telltale will remain on indicating the
intake air heater system is active.
Follow the steps in the “Normal Starting”
procedure except:

1. Pushing the engine start button with the driver’s foot on the brake will move the
ignition from OFF or ACC to RUN, and will
illuminate the "Wait to Start" telltale. The
engine will not immediately crank, this is
normal operation.

2. The “Wait to Start" telltale will remain on for a period of time that varies depending on the
engine temperature. 3. While the "Wait to Start" telltale is on, the
instrument cluster will additionally display a
gauge or bar whose initial length represents
the full "Wait to Start" time period. Its length
will decrease until it disappears when the
"Wait to Start" time has elapsed.
4. After the engine “Wait to Start” telltale goes off, the engine will automatically crank.
5. After engine start-up, check to see that there is oil pressure.
6. Release the parking brake and drive.
NOTE:
Engine idle speed will automatically increase to
1,000 RPM and engage the Variable Geometry
Turbocharger at low coolant temperatures to
improve engine warm-up.
The engine will not automatically crank after the
engine "Wait to Start" telltale goes off if a door
or the hood is ajar.
If the engine stalls, or if the ignition switch is left
ON for more than two minutes after the “Wait to
Start” telltale goes out, reset the intake air
heater by turning the ignition switch to the OFF
position for at least 5 seconds and then back
ON. Repeat steps 1 through 6 of “Keyless
Enter ‘n Go™ Starting Procedure – Engine Mani -
fold Air Temperature 0°F To 66°F (–18°C to
19°C).”
EXTREME COLD WEATHER
The Cummins® Turbo Diesel engine is equipped
with several features designed to assist cold
weather starting and operation:
The engine block heater is a resistance heater
installed in the water jacket of the engine just
above and behind the oil filter. It requires a
110–115 Volt AC electrical outlet with a
grounded, three-wire extension cord.
CAUTION!
If the Water in Fuel Indicator Light remains on,
DO NOT START the engine before you drain the
water from the fuel filters to avoid engine
damage Ú page 347.
CAUTION!
Do not crank engine for more than 25 seconds
at a time or starter motor damage may result.
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and
wait at least two minutes for the starter to cool
before repeating start procedure.

22_DPF_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 110

112STARTING AND OPERATING
4. After engine start-up, check that the Oil Pressure Warning Light has turned off.
5. Release the parking brake and drive.
NOTE:
Engine idle speed will automatically increase to
1,000 RPM and engage the Variable Geometry
Turbocharger at low coolant temperatures to
improve engine warm-up.
Automatic equipped vehicles with optional
Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ – If the ENGINE START/
STOP button is pushed once while in PARK with
the ignition off and driver’s foot on the brake
pedal, the vehicle will automatically crank and
start after the “Wait to Start” time has elapsed.
If it is desired to abort the start process before it
completes, the driver’s foot should be fully
removed from the brake pedal prior to pushing
the start button again in order for the ignition to
move directly to off.
If the engine stalls, or if the ignition switch is left
on for more than two minutes after the “Wait To

heater by turning the ignition switch to the OFF
position for at least five seconds and then back
to the ON/RUN position. Repeat steps 1 through
5 of “Starting Procedure – Engine Manifold Air
Temperature 0°F To 66°F (–18°C to 19°C).”
STARTING PROCEDURE — ENGINE
M
ANIFOLD AIR TEMPERATURE BELOW
0°F (-18°C)
In extremely cold weather below 0°F (-18°C) it
may be beneficial to cycle the intake air heater
twice before attempting to start the engine. This
can be accomplished by turning the ignition to OFF
position for at least five seconds and then back to
the ON/RUN position after the “Wait to Start”
telltale has turned off, but before the engine is
started. However, excessive cycling of the intake
air heater will result in damage to the heater
elements or reduced battery voltage.
NOTE:If multiple pre-heat cycles are used before starting,
additional engine run time may be required to
maintain battery state of charge at a satisfactory
level.

1. If the engine stalls after the initial start, the
ignition must be turned to the OFF position for
at least five seconds and then to the ON/RUN
position to recycle the intake air heater.

NOTE:Excessive white smoke and poor engine perfor -
mance will result if intake air heater is not recycled.
2. Heat generated by the intake air heater dissipates rapidly in a cold engine. If more than
two minutes pass between the time the “Wait to Start” telltale turns off and the engine is
started, recycle the intake air heater by turning
the ignition switch to the OFF position for at
least five seconds and then back to the ON/
RUN position.
3. If the vehicle is driven and vehicle speed exceeds 19 mph (31 km/h) before the intake
air heater post-heat (after start) cycle is
complete, the intake air heater will shut off.
4. If the engine is cranked for more than 10 seconds, the post-heat cycle will turn off.
NOTE:
Engine idle speed will automatically increase to
1,000 RPM and engage the Variable Geometry
Turbocharger at low coolant temperatures to
improve engine warm-up.
When a diesel engine is allowed to run out of
fuel or the fuel gels at low temperatures, air is
pulled into the fuel system. If your engine has
run out of fuel Ú page 350.
If the engine stalls, or if the ignition switch is left
on for more than two minutes after the “Wait to
Start” telltale goes out, reset the intake air
heater by turning the ignition switch to the OFF
position for at least five seconds and then back
to the ON/RUN position. Repeat steps 1 through
5 of “Starting Procedure – Engine Manifold Air
Temperature 0°F to 60°F (-18°C to 19°C).”

122STARTING AND OPERATING
IGNITION PARK INTERLOCK
This vehicle is equipped with an Ignition Park
Interlock which requires the transmission to be in
PARK before the ignition can be turned to the OFF
position. This helps the driver avoid inadvertently
leaving the vehicle without placing the
transmission in PARK. This system also locks the
transmission in PARK whenever the ignition is in
the OFF position.
NOTE:The transmission is NOT locked in PARK when the
ignition is in the ACC position (even though the
engine will be off). Ensure that the transmission is
in PARK, and the ignition is OFF (not in ACC
position) before exiting the vehicle.
BRAKE/TRANSMISSION SHIFT
I
NTERLOCK (BTSI) SYSTEM
This vehicle is equipped with a BTSI system that
holds the transmission gear selector in PARK
unless the brakes are applied. For vehicles with
8-speed transmission, to shift the transmission out
of PARK, the engine must be running and the brake
pedal must be pressed. The brake pedal must also
be pressed to shift from NEUTRAL into DRIVE or
REVERSE when the vehicle is stopped or moving at
low speeds. For vehicles with 6-speed
transmission, to shift the transmission out of
PARK, the ignition must be in the ON/RUN position (engine running or not) and the brake pedal must
be pressed.
The BTSI will timeout if brake pedal is pressed for
three minutes or longer continuously while in park.
It can be reset by releasing the brake for more then
three seconds, then reapplying the brake pedal or
cycling the ignition.
8-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION —
I
F EQUIPPED
The transmission is controlled using a rotary
electronic gear selector located on the instrument
panel. The transmission gear range (PRND) is
displayed both above the gear selector and in the
instrument cluster. To select a gear range, simply
rotate the gear selector. You must press the brake
pedal to shift the transmission out of PARK (or
NEUTRAL, when the vehicle is stopped or moving at
low speeds). To shift past multiple gear ranges at
once (such as PARK to DRIVE), simply rotate the
gear selector to the appropriate detent. Select the
DRIVE range for normal driving.
NOTE:In the event of a mismatch between the gear
selector position and the actual transmission gear
(for example, driver selects PARK while driving),
the position indicator will blink continuously until
the selector is returned to the proper position, or
the requested shift can be completed.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing chil -
dren to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally injured.
Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or the transmis -
sion gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle
(or in a location accessible to children), and do
not leave the ignition (in a vehicle equipped
with Keyless Enter ‘n Go™) in the ACC or ON/
RUN position. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only after
the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE,
NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is above
idle speed.
Before shifting into any gear, make sure your
foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.
