Parked Regen Procedure
wv dm 06.04.005
To initiate a parked regeneration, perform the following steps.
- Park the vehicle away from all combustible and flammable materials. Chock the tires. Start and warm the engine until the coolant temperature is at least 150°F (66°C).
- Set the parking brake. If the parking brake was already
set, it must be released, then set again.For manual transmissions, fully depress the clutch pedal, put the transmission in neutral, then release the pedal.If the vehicle has a two-pedal automated transmission, shift it into gear, then back to neutral.
- Press and hold the regen switch for 4 seconds. The engine will increase rpm and initiate the regen process.
- The regen cycle will finish after 20 to 60 minutes, at which time engine idle speed will drop to normal and the vehicle can be driven normally. The HEST lamp may be illuminated, but will go out when the vehicle speed exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h), or the system has cooled to normal operating temperature.
- To stop a parked regen at any time during the process, engage the clutch, brake, or accelerator pedal, or turn off the engine.
Important: The driver is responsible for ensuring, during the entire regen cycle, that anything that could be harmed by exposure to high heat does not come in contact with the exhaust gases flowing from the outlets.
