Maintenance
• Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, dam-
aging the catalytic converter.
Failure to observe these precautions
could result in damage to the catalyt-
ic converter and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void
your warranties.
Petrol Particulate Filter (if
equipped)
The Petrol Particulate Filter(GPF) is
the system that removes the soot
from the exhaust gas. Unlike a dis-
posable air filter, the GPF system
automatically burns (oxidizes) and
removes the accumulated soot whilst
driving.
However, repeated short-distance
driving or long-distance driving at a
low speed can stop the accumulated
soot from automatically being
removed by the GPF system. If the
accumulated soot reaches a certain
amount, the GPF warning light ( )
will illuminate. To re-operate the GPF
system, the vehicle should be driven
for more than 30 minutes at a speed
of 80km/h and faster. Ensure the fol-
lowing conditions are met: safe road
conditions, transmission 3 or above,
and engine speed of 1,500-4,000
rpm. Driving at 80km/h or faster for
recommended hours will get the
GPF system back to work and stop
the GPF warning light.
If the GPF warning light stays on or
the warning message “Check
exhaust system” pops up even after
driving at recommended speed and
for recommended hours, visit a pro-
fessional workshop and have them
check the GPF system. Constant
driving with the GPF warning light on
can damage the GPF system and
undermine fuel economy.
