Particulate Matter (PM) pollutants, with no input or
interaction on your part.
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.
Your vehicle has the ability to alert you to additional
maintenance required on your vehicle or engine. Refer to
the following messages that may be displayed on your
DID:
• Perform Service — Your vehicle will require emissions
maintenance at a set interval. To help remind you when
this maintenance is due, the Cluster will display “Per-
form Service”. When the “Perform Service” message is
displayed on the DID it is necessary to have the emis-
sions maintenance performed. Emissions maintenance
may include replacing the Closed Crankcase Ventilation
(CCV) filter element. The procedure for clearing and
resetting the ЉPerform ServiceЉ indicator message is
located in the appropriate Service Information.
• Exhaust System — Regeneration Required Now —
Љ Exhaust Filter XX% Full Safely Drive at Highway
Speeds to RemedyЉ will be displayed in the Cluster if
the exhaust particulate filter reaches 80% of its maxi-
mum 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 DID. If this
message is displayed, you will hear one chime to assist
in alerting you of this condition
