How to Deal with the DPF Warning Light?
1 Answers
Currently, there are two scenarios when the DPF light comes on, involving three operational states: automatic regeneration, manual regeneration, and on-demand regeneration. Below are the details: 1. Automatic Regeneration: The DPF indicator displays green, indicating no need for manual intervention. This typically occurs when the vehicle is driven at high speeds (above 80km/h). Continue driving normally until the particulate matter is processed, and the DPF light will turn off automatically. 2. Manual Regeneration: The yellow DPF light flashes, usually when the vehicle is driven at speeds below 80km/h. In this case, promptly move the vehicle away from the road, flammable, and explosive materials. Once parked, shift to neutral, engage the parking brake, and press the DPF control button. The yellow light will stay on continuously, and the process takes about 15-30 minutes. Once completed, the light will turn off automatically. 3. On-Demand Regeneration: This can be performed at any time, suitable for users who primarily drive in urban areas. For example, after returning home, park the vehicle, press and hold the DPF button for 3-5 seconds to initiate a check. If the yellow light flashes, manual regeneration is required. Press the DPF button again, and the yellow light will stay on. Wait for 15-30 minutes until the light turns off, indicating the particulate matter has been processed.
