STARTING AND STOPPING THEENGINE – WARNING LAMPS
Malfunction Indicator Lamp
If it illuminates when the engineis running, the on-boarddiagnostics system is detectinga malfunction of the vehicle emissioncontrol system.
If it flashes, engine misfire could beoccurring. Increased exhaust gastemperatures could damage the catalyticconverter or other vehicle components.Avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration,and have your vehicle checked as soon aspossible.

WHAT IS THE DIESEL
PARTICULATE FILTER
The diesel particulate filter is part of yourvehicle's emissions system and filtersharmful diesel particulates from theexhaust gas.
HOW DOES THE DIESEL
PARTICULATE FILTER WORK
The diesel particulate filter reducesemissions by trapping exhaust particlesbefore they reach the tailpipe. The systemmust periodically clean the exhaustparticles that gather inside the filter. Thisis carried out in three ways, passiveregeneration, active regeneration andmanual regeneration.
Passive Regeneration
In passive regeneration, the normalexhaust system temperature cleans thefilter by oxidizing the soot. Cleaning occursduring normal vehicle operating conditionsdue to driving patterns.
Active Regeneration
Once the diesel particulate filter is full,active regeneration raises the exhausttemperature to eliminate the particles.
When the engine control module detectsthat the diesel particulate filter is nearlyfull of particulates, and you are notoperating your vehicle in a manner to alloweffective regeneration, messages appearin the information display as a reminderfor you to drive your vehicle in order toclean the diesel particulate filter. If youdrive your vehicle in a manner to alloweffective regeneration, the informationdisplay shows a cleaning exhaust filtermessage.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not park or idle yourvehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or othercombustible materials. The regenerationprocess creates very high exhaust gastemperatures and the exhaust willradiate a considerable amount of heatduring and after regeneration and afteryou have switched the engine off. This isa potential fire hazard.
WARNING: When the ExhaustFilter Cleaning message appears in theinformation display, do not park nearflammable materials, vapors orstructures until filter cleaning iscomplete.
WARNING: The normal operatingtemperature of the exhaust system isvery high. Never work around or attemptto repair any part of the exhaust systemuntil it has cooled. Use special care whenworking around the diesel oxidationcatalytic converter or the dieselparticulate filter. The diesel oxidationcatalytic converter and the dieselparticulate filter heat up to very hightemperatures after only a short periodof engine operation and remain hot afteryou switch the engine off.
Note:Avoid running out of fuel.
Note: During regeneration at low speed orengine idle, you may smell a hot metallicodor and could notice a clicking metallicsound. This is due to high temperaturesreached during regeneration and is normal.
Note:Changes in the engine or exhaustsound may be heard during the regenerationprocess.

WHAT IS THE CATALYTIC
CONVERTER
The catalytic converter is part of yourvehicle's emissions system and filtersharmful pollutants from the exhaust gas.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not park, idle ordrive your vehicle on dry grass or otherdry ground cover. The emission systemheats up the engine compartment andexhaust system, creating the risk of fire.
WARNING: The normal operatingtemperature of the exhaust system isvery high. Never work around or attemptto repair any part of the exhaust systemuntil it has cooled. Use special care whenworking around the catalytic converter.The catalytic converter heats up to a veryhigh temperature after only a shortperiod of engine operation and stays hotafter the engine is switched off.
WARNING: Exhaust leaks mayresult in entry of harmful and potentiallylethal fumes into the passengercompartment. If you smell exhaustfumes inside your vehicle, have yourvehicle inspected immediately. Do notdrive if you smell exhaust fumes.
To avoid damaging the catalytic converter:
•Do not crank the engine for more than10 seconds at a time.
•Do not run the engine with a spark pluglead disconnected.
•Do not push-start or tow-start yourvehicle. Use booster cables. See JumpStarting the Vehicle (page 422).
•Use the correct fuel. See Fuel andRefueling (page 214).
•Do not switch the ignition off when yourvehicle is moving.
•Avoid running out of fuel.
•Have the items listed in scheduledmaintenance information performedaccording to the specified schedule.
Note:Do not make any unauthorizedchanges to your vehicle or engine. By law,vehicle owners and anyone whomanufactures, repairs, or services a fleet ofvehicles are not permitted to intentionallyremove an emission control device orprevent it from working.

Rear suspension components may requireregular cleaning with a power washer or athorough rinse with a strong stream ofwater if the vehicle is operated in dusty ormuddy environments. Rear leaf springs orother suspension components may emitsqueaking or popping noises whileoperating the vehicle if particles, such asdirt, rocks, or other debris, are present inthe components.
CLEANING THE EXHAUST
WARNING: Do not modify orremove the exhaust tailpipe. Blockedholes may result in increased exhaustgas temperatures, vehicle damage,property damage or personal injury.
WARNING: Failure to keep theholes in the exhaust tailpipe clean andfree of debris or foreign material mayresult in blocked holes. Blocked holesmay result in increased exhaust gastemperatures, vehicle damage, propertydamage or personal injury.
WARNING: The normal operatingtemperature of the exhaust system isvery high. Never work around or attemptto repair any part of the exhaust systemuntil it has cooled. Use special care whenworking around the diesel oxidationcatalytic converter or the dieselparticulate filter. The diesel oxidationcatalytic converter and the dieselparticulate filter heat up to very hightemperatures after only a short periodof engine operation and remain hot afteryou switch the engine off.
The visible holes in the exhaust tip and theholes under the shield just inboard of theright rear tire(s) are functional. Keep theholes clear of mud, debris or foreignmaterial to maintain proper function of theexhaust system. Clean and remove debrisor foreign material if present as needed.Spraying with a hose during regularwashing of vehicle should help keep holesclean and clear of debris or foreignmaterial.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
CLEANING THE INSTRUMENTPANEL
WARNING: Do not use chemicalsolvents or strong detergents whencleaning the steering wheel orinstrument panel to avoid contaminationof the airbag system.
We recommend that you only clean theinstrument panel and cluster lens with adamp soft cloth. Dry the area with a clean,soft cloth.
For additional information and assistance,we recommend that you contact anauthorized dealer.
