BEFORE DRIVING
Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF)
warning light (if equipped)
This Gasoline Particle Filter (GPF) warning
light comes on for several seconds when
the ignition switch is turned to the "ON"
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to "ON" so you
can check that light is working. If the light
comes on when driving, the GPF is nearly
clogged. To go out the warning light, the
vehicle must stay in motion until regenera-
tion has been completed.
The process normally takes about 25 min-
utes.
The optimum condition to end the process
are achieved by keeping the vehicle in
motion at a speed of 50 km/h (31 mph) or
higher, and an engine speed higher than
2,000 rpm.
If you drive your vehicle until the light goes
out, the regeneration of the GPF will be
completed.
For details of the GPF, refer to "Gasoline
Particulate Filter" in the "OPERATING
YOUR VEHICLE" section.
