Water In Diesel Filter
Indicator
(On diesel models)
This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position.
If this indicator comes on and stays
on while the engine is running, there
is a risk of damage to the injection
system. Contact your dealer as soon
as possible.

Instruments and Controls
Diesel Particulate Filter
(DPF) Indicator
(On some Diesel models)
If this indicator blinks while the
engine is running, the diesel
particulate filter (DPF) should be
regenerated to remove the
accumulated particulate matter (PM).
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 indicator goes out
(it may take about 15 minutes). This
will increase the exhaust
temperature and help to burn and
remove the PM from the DPF.
If you ignore the indicator blinking,
it stops blinking, then stays on. If
this happens, take your vehicle to a
Honda dealer as soon as possible to
have the DPF system checked. If
you ignore this indicator and
continue driving, the DPF and your
vehicle's emission control systems
will be seriously damaged. For more
information of the DPF system, see
page 338 .
