Diesel Particulate Filter
(SKYACTIV-D 1.8)
▼ Diesel Particulate Filter
The diesel particulate filter collects and
removes most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of a diesel
engine.
PM collected by the diesel particulate
filter is cleared during normal driving,
however, PM may not be removed and
the diesel particulate filter warning
indication/warning light may
illuminate under the following
conditions:
If the vehicle is driven at 15 km/h (9
mph) or less continuously.
If the vehicle is repeatedly driven for
a short period of time (10 minute or
less) or driven while the engine is
cold.
If the vehicle is idled for a long time.
