How to perform exhaust self-cleaning on the Great Wall Pickup Fengjun 5?
2 Answers
To enable exhaust self-cleaning for the Great Wall Pickup Fengjun 5, no special operations are required. Simply drive the vehicle as usual.
I previously drove a Great Wall Wingle 5 diesel pickup truck. The exhaust self-cleaning function is essentially cleaning the filter screen system in the exhaust pipe to prevent particle blockage. The operation is quite simple: first, park the vehicle in a safe and open area, engage the handbrake, and ensure the engine idles for a few minutes to warm up. Then, locate the DPF regeneration button on the dashboard or center console, press and hold it for more than three seconds to activate the manual regeneration mode—at this point, the engine noise will increase, and white smoke from the exhaust pipe is normal. The process takes about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. Do not turn off the engine or exit the vehicle during this process; if the engine stalls, you'll have to start over. After completion, drive on the highway for a while to consolidate the effect. If the indicator light flashes while driving, address it as soon as possible to avoid the filter getting completely blocked, which could affect power and fuel consumption. I regularly inspect the exhaust system to save myself the hassle of visiting the repair shop.
