If you ignore this symbol/message and continue driving, the DPF and your vehicle’s emission control systems will be seriously damaged. To regenerate the DPF, when traf f ic 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 f rom the DPF.The catalytic converter with DPF system must operate at a high temperature for the chemical reactions to take place. It can set on fire any combustible materials that come near it. Park your vehicle away f rom high grass, dry leaves, or other f lammables. 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.If you see this symbol or this symbol with a ‘‘CHECK SYSTEM’’ message on the multi-information display while the engine is running, it means the diesel particulate f ilter (DPF) is clogged with accumulated particulate matter (PM) and it should be checked, then repaired or replaced. Take your vehicle to a Honda dealer as soon as possible. While in this condition, the engine power gets reduced.
