4.After the DPF Service Regenerationprocedure completes:
•If the vehicle’s soot level is at anacceptable level, close the hood.The vehicle is ready to be driven.
•If the vehicle’s soot level remainshigher than desired, let the vehicleidle for a minimum of 30 minutes(hood remains fully open). Afterthe 30 minutes have passed,initiate the second DPFregeneration procedure. It is veryunlikely that more than 2regeneration cycles will be required,but if additional cycles arenecessary, allow for a 30-minutevehicle idle (hood up) to occurbetween regeneration cycles.
5.Once all DPF regeneration cycles arecomplete, close the hood. The vehicleis ready to be driven.
Operator Commanded RegenerationPrecautions and Safe Exhaust Position
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: Stay clear of theexhaust tailpipe during regeneration. Hotexhaust gases can burn you badly.
Make sure that the louvers located at thetip of the exhaust are clear of anyobstructions as they are used to introducefresh air into the tailpipe to cool theexhaust gases as they leave the exhaustsystem.
Before you start operator commandedregeneration, do the following:
•Shift into park (P) or if you have anRNDM selector shift into neutral (N)and apply the parking and or air brake,on stable, level ground.
•Park your vehicle outside of anystructure.
•Park your vehicle 10–15 ft (3–5 m)away from any obstructions and awayfrom materials that can easily combustor melt, for example paper, leaves,petroleum products, fuels, plastics andother dry organic material.
•Make sure there is a minimum of 1/8tank of fuel.
•Make sure all fluids are at proper levels.
How to Start Operator CommandedRegeneration
WARNING: Stay clear of theexhaust tailpipe during regeneration. Hotexhaust gases can burn you badly.
Note:You cannot use the operatorcommanded regeneration until the dieselparticulate filter load percentage hasreached 100%. The diesel particulate filterload percentage fluctuates up and downwhen driving your vehicle due to active andpassive regenerations.
Note:During the use of operatorcommanded regeneration, you may observea light amount of white smoke. This isnormal.
You may not be able to useoperator commandedregeneration if the service enginesoon warning lamp appears in theinformation display

How to Interrupt or Cancel OperatorCommanded Regeneration
If you need to cancel the operatorcommanded regeneration, pressing thebrake, accelerator or switching the engineoff stops the procedure. Depending on theamount of time you allowed the operatorcommanded regeneration to operate, sootmay not have had sufficient time to be fullyeliminated, but the exhaust system andexhaust gas may still be hot. If you shutyour vehicle off during operatorcommanded regeneration, you may noticeturbo flutter. This is a normal consequencecaused by shutting off a diesel engineduring boosted operation and is considerednormal.
Filter Service and Maintenance
Over time, a slight amount of ash buildsup in the diesel particulate filter, which isnot removed during the regenerationprocess. The filter may need to be replacedwith a new or remanufactured part atapproximately 250,000 mi (400,000 km).Actual mileage varies depending on engineand vehicle operating conditions.
If filter service is required, theengine control system warninglamp illuminates in theinformation display.
If there are any issues with thediesel particulate filter system,the engine control systemwarning lamp and a serviceengine soon warning lampilluminate to inform you thatyour vehicle requires service. Have yourvehicle checked as soon as possible.
Resonator and Tailpipe AssemblyMaintenance
Aftermarket devices or modifications tothe exhaust system may reduce theeffectiveness of the exhaust system aswell as cause damage to the exhaustsystem or engine. This may also degradevehicle performance and could lead toengine damage that may not be coveredby the vehicle Warranty.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: Exceeding these ratingsby overloading can cause componentfailure resulting in property damage,personal injury or death.
Fluid Temperature
If the operating temperature exceeds250°F (121°C), the rate of axle lubricationoxidation increases and shortens the lifeof the lubricant and seals, requiring axlelubrication changes to become morefrequent to preserve the axle. Do notconsistently run extreme pressure (EP)lubricants above 250°F (121°C).
Axle Conversions
WARNING: When operating aloaded vehicle, the driver must keep alladjustable axles on the ground at alltimes, supporting their share of thevehicle’s load. Failure to do so canoverload other axles, tires, wheels,springs, steering components, brakesand frames, resulting in early componentfailure, loss of vehicle control, possibleproperty damage and personal injury.
We do not recommend, or approve,performing axle conversions. However, weunderstand that, on occasion, others installaftermarket add-on axles on the truckchassis that allow operator control forweight transfer from other axles (such asair lift axles).
2-SPEED REAR AXLE (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING: Never shift atwo-speed axle when descending asteep grade as this may cause loss ofvehicle control and result in personalinjury.
Note:Do not shift between ranges whenthe speed control is on.
A two-speed rear axle allows the driver toselect a low range for greater pulling powerand a high range for greater road speedand fuel economy. You can also use theseranges to provide extra steps betweentransmission shifts when driving on steepgrades or fuel economy may be factors.
Axle Shifting
Note:Do not shift the axle to LOW whenyour vehicle is moving. Use LOW when youdrive a fully loaded vehicle on a severe gradeor in congested traffic. Use HIGH for allnormal driving conditions with a lightlyloaded or partially loaded vehicle.
Note:The axle is set to HIGH by default.
To shift the axle between HIGH and LOWwith the vehicle stopped, place thetransmission in position N, then press andhold the button for two seconds.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Note: Occasional brake noise is normal. Ifa metal-to-metal, continuous grinding orcontinuous squeal sound is present, thebrake linings may be worn-out. Have thesystem checked as soon as possible. If thevehicle has continuous vibration or shudderin the steering wheel while braking, have thesystem checked as soon as possible.
All standard equipment brakes areself-adjusting. Automatic adjustment,when required, occurs whenever you applyand release the brakes during forward orreverse operation.
Know the required stopping distances forall driving conditions you may encounter.For longer brake lining life, take fulladvantage of engine braking power whencoming to a stop.
Wet brakes result in reduced brakingefficiency. Gently press the brake pedal afew times when driving from a car wash orstanding water to dry the brakes.
If the brakes do not grip well:
•Check brake adjustment.
•Check the brake linings for excessivewear.
•Check the system air pressure onvehicles with air brakes.
•Let the brakes cool if you have beenusing them excessively, as in mountaindriving or after several fast, high-speedstops.
•If you have been driving through deepwater, gently apply the brakes severaltimes while your vehicle is movingslowly.
Brake Over Accelerator
In the event the accelerator pedalbecomes stuck or entrapped, apply steadyand firm pressure to the brake pedal toslow the vehicle and reduce engine power.If you experience this condition, apply thebrakes and bring your vehicle to a safestop. Move the transmission to park (P),switch the engine off and apply the parkingbrake. Inspect the accelerator pedal forany interference. If none are found and thecondition persists, have your vehicle towedto the nearest authorized dealer
Anti-lock Brake System
This system helps you maintain steeringcontrol during emergency stops by keepingthe brakes from locking.
If the light does not illuminateduring start up, remains on orflashes, the system may bedisabled. It also momentarily illuminateswhen you switch the ignition on to confirmthe lamp is functional. If it does notilluminate when you switch the ignition on,or begins to flash at any time, have thesystem checked.
If you connect a PLC trailer withthe ignition on, the trailer ABSlight also illuminates. If the lightfails to illuminate, if it remains on after youstart the vehicle or continues to flash, havethe system serviced immediately.

Push the palm release lever (A) on theparking brake handle (B) and push downas far as possible to release the brake.Driving with the parking brake on causesthe brakes to wear out quickly and reducesfuel economy.
We recommend you not use the parkingbrake to stop a moving vehicle. However,if the normal brakes fail, you can use theparking brake to stop your vehicle in anemergency. Since the parking brake onlyapplies retardation to the rear wheels, thevehicle's stopping distance increasesgreatly and the handling of your vehicle isadversely affected.
Releasing Spring Manually
WARNING: Do not attempt todisassemble the parking brake airchamber under any circumstances asthis may cause serious injury.
WARNING: Block the wheels tohelp prevent the vehicle from moving.
WARNING: Unexpected andpossibly sudden vehicle movement mayoccur if you do not take theseprecautions.
If you release hydraulic pressure from thespring brake chamber, the power springapplies the brake. If the hydraulic pressurecan be re-established, you must releasethe spring brake in order to move yourvehicle.
Air Brakes (If Equipped)
WARNING: This control is forparking only. Do not leave the vehicleunattended after setting the parkingbrake without placing the transmissionin park (P). We recommend using wheelchocks for hilly or off-roadcircumstances.
If the service brakes fail to operate whileyour vehicle is moving, you can make anemergency stop with the parking brake.Since the parking brake only appliesstopping power to the rear wheels, yourvehicle’s stopping distance greatlyincreases and the handling of your vehicleis adversely affected. Make repairsimmediately to an inoperative air brakesystem circuit.
Pull the yellow, dash-mounted parkingbrake knob to apply the parking brake.
The parking brake lightilluminates and remainsilluminated (when you switchthe ignition to the on position) until yourelease the parking brake.
