needs to be checked and changed
at appropriate levels.
See Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants and Maintenance

the engine could get too hot but there would not be an overheat

Other information:
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
system filters soot particles out of
the exhaust gases. The DPF is
under the vehicle in the exhaust
system.
Depending on a number of factors
monitored by the engine computer,
the DPF will need to be cleaned of
accumulated solids...
The ACC front camera can be
affected by poor lighting conditions,
and ACC may have limited
performance when:
There are changes in brightness,
such as entering and exiting
tunnels, bridges, and
overpasses.
Low sun angles cause the
camera to not detect objects,
or it is more difficult to detect
objects in the same traffic lane...
