Note: Resulting component damage may
not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.
WARNING: Do not park, idle or
drive your vehicle on dry grass or other
dry ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and
exhaust system, creating the risk of fire.
On-Board Diagnostics System
Your vehicle has an on-board diagnostics
system that monitors the emission control
system. If any of the following warning
lamps illuminate, this may indicate that
the on-board diagnostics system has
detected an emission control system
malfunction.
WARNING: The normal operating
temperature of the exhaust system is
very high. Never work around or attempt
to repair any part of the exhaust system
until it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the catalytic converter.
The catalytic converter heats up to a very
high temperature after only a short
period of engine operation and stays hot
after the engine is switched off.
WARNING: Exhaust leaks may
result in entry of harmful and potentially
lethal fumes into the passenger
Continuing to drive your vehicle may cause
reduced power or the engine to stop.
Failure to respond to a warning lamp may
cause component damage not covered by
the vehicle Warranty. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
compartment. If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your
vehicle inspected immediately. Do not
drive if you smell exhaust fumes.
Your vehicle has various emission control
components and a catalytic converter that
enables it to comply with applicable
exhaust emission standards.

To avoid damaging the catalytic converter:
WARNING: Do not park or idle your
vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The regeneration
process creates very high exhaust gas
temperatures and the exhaust will
radiate a considerable amount of heat
during and after regeneration and after
you have switched the engine off. This is
a potential fire hazard.

Do not crank the engine for more than
10 seconds at a time.
Do not run the engine with a spark plug
lead disconnected.
Do not push-start or tow-start your
vehicle. Use booster cables. See Jump
Starting the Vehicle (page 390).

To reduce the risk of causing damage to
the gasoline particulate filter:
To assist passive regeneration, we
recommend that you make occasional
journeys that allow you to:
•
•
•
•
Do not crank the engine for more than
10 seconds at a time.
•
Drive at a varied range of conditions,
including highway conditions for a
minimum of 20 minutes.
Do not push-start or tow-start your
vehicle. Use booster cables.
•
•
Avoid prolonged engine idling.
Do not switch the ignition off when your
vehicle is moving.
Select a suitable gear to maintain
engine speed between 1500 and 4000
RPM.
Do not ignore warning lamps, indicators
or information messages.
If the filter is saturated or is approaching
saturation, a warning lamp illuminates or
a message appears in the information
display.
Note: A warning lamp illuminates and a
message appears in the information display
on some vehicles.
If you do not take action when a warning
lamp illuminates or a message appears in
the information display, you could cause
damage not covered by the vehicle
Warranty.
Gasoline Particulate Filter
Regeneration
Particles in the exhaust gas collect in the
gasoline particulate filter causing a gradual
restriction over time. This restriction is
removed through a regeneration process
controlled by the engine control system.
The regeneration process converts the
particles in the exhaust gas into harmless
gases.
Regeneration occurs during normal driving,
to varying degrees depending on how you
drive. Passive regeneration occurs when
you drive at moderate to high speed but if
you generally drive short distances at low
speed, the engine control system could
actively raise the exhaust gas temperature
to remove the particles that have collected
in the filter to make sure that it continues
to correctly operate.
