Catalytic Converters (Diesel models)
DPF (Regeneration Required)
If you see this symbol or this symbol
with a ''DPF REGENERATION
REQUIRED'' message on the multi-
information display while the engine
is running, it means the diesel
particulate filter (DPF) should be
regenerated to remove the
accumulated particulate matter (PM).

Technical Information
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 symbol/message
goes out (it may take about 15
minutes, depending on driving
conditions). This will increase the
exhaust temperature and help to
burn and remove the PM from the
DPF.
If you ignore this symbol/message
and continue driving, the system
warning switches to the symbol/
message of DPF (check system). If
this happens, take your vehicle to a
Honda dealer as soon as possible to
have the DPF system checked.
