Fuel and Refueling When the engine control module detects that the DPF is nearly full of particulates and that the vehicle is not being operated in a manner to allow effective automatic cleaning, the information display will display DRIVE TO CLEAN EXHAUST FILTER for base information display and Drive to Clean Exhaust System for the optional information display, guiding the vehicle operator to drive in order to clean the DPF. If the vehicle is operated in a manner to allow effective automatic cleaning, the information display will display a cleaning exhaust filter message, which is the normal regeneration process. See the Information Displays chapter of the Owner Guide for more information. You can also choose OCR to clean the exhaust system at this point. See How to start operator commanded regeneration (OCR) later in this chapter. If the operator is not able to drive in a manner that allows effective automatic cleaning (active regeneration) or the operator instead wishes to perform regeneration of the DPF (cleaning) while at idle (stationary), then OCR (operator commanded regeneration) will need to be performed. See Operator commanded regeneration (OCR) following. Operator Commanded Regeneration (OCR) (if equipped) If your vehicle is operated with significant stationary operation, low speed drive cycles less then 25 mph, short drive cycles, a drive time is less than 10 - 15 minutes or the vehicle does not fully warm up, passive and active regeneration may not sufficiently clean the DPF system. OCR allows you to manually start regeneration of the diesel particulate filter (DPF) at idle (while stationary) to clean the DPF. If you are not sure whether your vehicle is equipped with this feature, contact your authorized dealer. When to perform OCR Use the OCR feature when the DRIVE TO CLEAN EXHAUST FILTER message appears in the information display and: • the operator is not able to drive in manner that allows effective automatic cleaning (active regeneration), • or the operator instead wishes to manually start regeneration (cleaning) of the DPF while the vehicle is idle (stationary). 36 2013 Diesel (67l) Supplement, 1st Printing USA (fus)
