All Haval models are equipped with particulate filters. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine's emission system, which captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. Methods to check for a particulate filter: Refer to the and to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, you can carefully check the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" warning light indicator; check the label on the oil cap—if the oil cap clearly indicates 0W-20 grade oil, it means a particulate filter is installed; look behind the three-way catalytic converter on the exhaust pipe for a cylindrical section—if present, that is the particulate filter. Principle of the particulate filter: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the engine's exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipeline. Inside, a densely arranged bag-type filter captures the carbon particles on a filter made of metal fiber felt. When the accumulation of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the captured carbon particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide, which is then released.

I've driven several Haval vehicles and noticed that particulate filters are quite common, especially in diesel models like the Haval H5 or H9 diesel versions, which are basically all equipped with DPF. This device specifically captures fine particles in the exhaust to reduce air pollution. After the implementation of the China VI emission standards, Great Wall Motors added these to enhance environmental performance. The regeneration process is quite interesting—it automatically burns accumulated particles during prolonged high-speed driving to prevent clogging. However, I must remind you that frequent short trips can easily trigger an alert, but this can be resolved by driving on the highway for about half an hour. Maintenance is simple; just have the technician check it during your annual service. Overall, the particulate filter design in Haval vehicles is reliable and improves driving eco-friendliness.

As a parent who frequently drives children to and from school, I place great emphasis on vehicle safety and environmental performance. Many new Haval SUV models, such as the gasoline-powered H6 and F7, have been equipped with particulate filters (GPF) since the implementation of China VI emission standards. These filters capture harmful particles, making exhaust emissions cleaner. This is crucial for urban air quality and family health, especially given the frequent smoggy weather nowadays. In daily use, I pay attention to driving habits to avoid frequent short trips that might cause clogging. If the warning light comes on, there's no need to panic—just drive at highway speeds for a while to clear it. Overall, Haval's inclusion of this feature is quite user-friendly, practical in design, and hassle-free. I recommend new owners check the user manual for confirmation.

I've handled many Haval customer inquiries, and particulate filters are quite common on newer models. Diesel versions like the Haval H7 or H8 generally come with DPF systems, while gasoline vehicles such as the new H6 or H9 have also incorporated GPF to comply with China VI regulations. It depends on the model year, with most post-2020 models equipped. If a fault is displayed during use, it could be an electrical issue or regeneration problem, so it's advisable to visit an authorized service center promptly. I recommend owners keep their manuals for reference. Overall, Haval has standardized this aspect well.
