Does dash display Regen when happening
Just did a 475 mile round trip and have about 630 miles on my '17. No regen yet to my knowledge. Does the dash tell you. What happens if it starts to regen 5 minutes before pulling into my driveway and I can't spend 20 minutes driving around. Can I let it idle and do its thing? Does it tell you when it has stopped. tks

So as a first time diesel driver it doesn't matter when a Regen occurs. I won't know it by a warning. I can shut down and never think about regen and if it is even happening. All I need to worry about is making sure my DEF tank has fluid in it. Tks

The only indication that a regen is going is the instant mileage will drop to the 11 mpg range for a period of time. 15-30 mins. When the active regen is complete, the instant mileage will run back up to normal whatever. You might also detect a little different engine sound or smell. Very subtle.

Thanks Epic. No regen for me then as my MPG has not dropped to these levels. So to clear up uncertainty on my end I am a few minutes from home and see my MPG drop all of a sudden and maybe hear an unusual engine sound. I can't drive around but need to park and shut down. It appears that is okay and the next time I drive the truck it will just start the regen where it left off. Doing this won't be bad or harmful to the engine or emissions equipment? tks

This is dumb. I certainly want to know if it's in ReGen so I can leave it run and not interrupt it. FORD - Please add this feature, we all want to know.

you will smell it if you shut it down in the middle of a regen. Happened to me the other night when I pulled into the garage and had shut it down. Started back up and pulled outside and let it finish.

In example I aborted one when it was down to 55%. It did not go into regeneration again until reaching 100% again.
I would prefer for Ford to be transparent about it and have a constant indicator visible when the process is underway.

I can add that whether or not it starts back up on next crank depends on how far into the regeneration the process previously was when it was aborted.
