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.
The catalytic converter and 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
from high grass, dry leaves, or other
flammables.
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.
