See other post from Tomc, if he has manual regen selected, he gets prompted to run a stationary manual regen of it hits 95% or more DPF filter soot. Then he is able to do a stationary regen. If the truck is idling and it meets the conditions for temp, and you are stopped at this 95% soot, then it will ask you if conditions are safe to run a manual regen.
I am thinking the instructions don't read quite right, if you want it to auto regen I think you deselect OCR (operator controlled regen) in the settings.

I have the factory manual regen as well and it works as Tomc reported.There is no way to force the regen at 95% or even 100%, You have to wait until the computer prompts you to do one but it will only occurs when you are at 100% AND the computer determines that your driving condition is not going to allow an auto regen. This will only occurs in the most extreme situations.
The manual regen was a waste of money because you really can't use it when you want to.
Some guys have downloaded a way to manipulate auto regen and activate manual regen, This is NOT the factory manual regen option.

okay thanks, is there a way to turn off the auto regen that the truck does on its own? I ask, not because I want to turn it off so I can do it manually but because I want to make sure it is on and that it does it on its own like it should.

Nxt, your truck will automatically regen but as far as I know you cannot turn it off. I too, was kind of freaking out before the truck did it's first auto regen.thinking I had to manually operate it because I ordered the manual regen. I was in the middle of the Indian Res at 5 am. The gauge read 100% full. I pulled over and started to look things up in the manual. I couldn't find anything and kept driving. Low and behold the truck dpf gauge all of a sudden dropped to 95% then 90%....all the way down to 0%. FYI, since then the auto regen has not cleaned the filter to below 30%. I don't know why but a lot of others on this forum are reporting different levels when the regen decides to stop.

There is little to no information for the medium duty trucks that I can find.
I also would like to be able to regen at will as the truck does not have any alerts when the filter is at 100%.
I can do a manual at 100% but not at 95% or lower.
I just sat here and held the throttle to over 2k rpm for 15 minutes and she dropped from 95% to 45% but is not dropping further.

I can only comment from my experience I have with our own diesel off road engines we sell to many OEMs in the US. I'm don't know how Ford has the logic setup for Regeneration but in our offroad engines we only allow a Stationary Regen every 50 hrs. that the customer can start. Doing too many Regens when the engine doesn't need it can contribute to fuel dilution in the oil. I would say let the truck do it's thing and avoid long idles.
