How long does it take for the Wingle 5 to complete the self-cleaning process?

Wingle 5 is currently undergoing self-cleaning, indicating that it is removing carbon deposits, which typically takes 5 to 10 minutes. Introduction to the Wingle 5: The Wingle 5 is a pickup truck model launched by Great Wall Motors. Its design is inspired by international pickup truck styles, featuring robust body lines and finely crafted interiors that provide an excellent driving experience. It is considered a benchmark in China's pickup truck industry. Equipped with a Mitsubishi 4G69 electronic fuel injection engine and the latest diesel engine technology for diesel pickups, it delivers energy-saving and environmentally friendly performance. Introduction to Carbon Deposits in Vehicles: Carbon deposits are residues left in the fuel injectors, throttle, fuel lines, pipelines, or spark plugs due to incomplete combustion of fuel in the engine or the inability to fully burn the paraffin and gum content in the fuel.
I have also encountered the regeneration prompt while driving the Fengjun 5. Based on my experience, this process usually takes 10 to 30 minutes. Once while driving, the dashboard displayed 'Regeneration in progress, please wait.' I continued driving at a steady speed for about 20 minutes until it was completed. If the vehicle is idling, the time may extend up to 40 minutes. It's advisable not to turn off the engine or accelerate abruptly when the prompt appears; instead, let the vehicle run freely as this helps clear particulate accumulation. The regeneration is essential for the DPF system of diesel vehicles to operate environmentally. If it occurs frequently, checking driving habits such as driving more on highways can reduce the frequency. Safety comes first, so be patient and wait it out.
As someone who enjoys studying cars, I've tried the DPF regeneration process several times, and the self-cleaning duration isn't fixed. On the Fengjun 5, it depends on current driving conditions: during highway driving, it may complete in 10 to 15 minutes; in city traffic with idling, it can extend to 30 minutes or more. The underlying reason is that the DPF requires high temperatures to burn off accumulated carbon particles – insufficient heat prolongs the process. I've encountered this situation a few times; just patiently wait for the procedure to complete. Interrupting the operation may damage the system, so I recommend regular maintenance checks on the filter. It's a normal phenomenon – nothing to worry about.
