GPF (Gasoline Particulate
*
Filter) system
*
: If equipped
The GPF system collects particu-
late matter in the exhaust gas by
using an exhaust gas filter. The sys-
tem will operate to regenerate the
filter automatically, depending on
the vehicle conditions.
If "Exhaust Filter Full See Owner's Man-
ual" is shown on the multi-information
display
The message may be displayed while
high load driving with particulate matter
accumulating.
Engine output is restricted while the mes-
sage is displayed, however, it is possible
to drive the vehicle unless the malfunc-
tion indicator lamp comes on.
Particulate matter can accumulate more
quickly if the vehicle is frequently driven
short trips or at low speeds, or if the
engine is regularly started in an
extremely cold environment. Excessive
accumulation of particulate matter can
be prevented by periodically driving long
distances continuously with intermittent
releasing of the accelerator pedal, such
as when driving on highways and free-
ways.
If the malfunction indicator lamp comes
on or "Engine Maintenance Required
Visit Your Dealer" is shown on the multi-
information display
The amount of accumulated particulate
matter has exceeded a certain level. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer
immediately.
