If you ignore this symbol/message
and continue driving, the DPF and
your vehicle’s emission control
systems will be seriously damaged.
The catalytic converter and DPF
system must operate at a hig h
temperature f or the chemical
reactions to t ake place. It can set on
fire any combustible materials that
come near it. Park your vehicle away
from high grass, dry leaves, or other
flammables.
If you see this symbol or this symbol
with a ‘‘CHECK SYSTEM’’ message
on the multi-inf ormation display
while the engine is running, it means
the diesel particulate filter (DPF) is
clogged with accumulated
particulate matter (PM) and it
should be checked, then repaired or
replaced. Take your vehicle to a
Honda dealer as soon as possible.
If you ignore this symbol/message
and continue driving, the system
warning switches to t he symbol/
message of DPF (check system). If
this happens, take your vehicle to a
Honda dealer as soon as possible to
have the DPF system checked.
To regenerate the DPF, when traffic
allows, maintain a vehicle speed of at
least 60 km/h (37 mph) and continue
to drive until the symbol/message
goes out (it may take about 15
minutes, depending on driving
conditions). This will increase the
exhaust temperature and help t o
burn and remove the PM from the
DPF.
