Abstract: Systems and methods for performing an engine regeneration procedure in a work machine with an internal combustion engine are described. An electronic controller determines, based on information associated with one or more machine sensors and/or machine actuators, whether the work machine is in an idle state (e.g., a storage or non-harvesting state). In response to determining that the work machine is in the idle state, the electronic controller displays a user approval prompt on the display of an operator interface and performs the engine regeneration procedure in response to receiving a user input approving the engine regeneration procedure after displaying the user approval prompt. Conversely, in response to determining that the work machine is not in the idle state, the electronic controller performs the engine regeneration procedure without displaying the user approval prompt and without receiving any user input approving the engine regeneration procedure.
