6. In-service maintenance
6.9 Particulate filter*
Function of particulate filter
It is used to capture the particles from the
exhaust gas to reduce the emitted particles,
thus reducing air pollution.
Instructions for particulate filter indicator
on:
- I f t h e i n d i c a t o r l a m p o n t h e
instrument cluster lights up white and the
message “Please run at high speed for
regeneration” pops up, it indicates that
the number of particles in the particulate
filter has reached a certain load level
and the user should perform particulate
filter regeneration. It is recommended to
drive at a vehicle speed above 80km/h
for at least 30 minutes while keeping the
engine running; if it fails, the indicator will
continue to light up and the message will
continue to be displayed as the particles
accumulate further.
- If the indicator lamp on the instrument
cluster lights up yellow and the message
“Please visit a 4S shop for maintenance”
pops up, it indicates that the number of
particles in the particulate filter is close to
the upper limit and the user shall drive the
vehicle to the GAC Motor authorized shop
for maintenance.
WARNING
If more and more particles accumulate
in the particulate filter, it will cause the
exhaust back pressure to rise and the
fuel consumption to increase, which
degrades the engine performance.
Therefore, it is necessary to timely burn
the particles via oxidization.
Ignoring the lit indicator of particulate
filter and related warning description
may cause the particulate filter to be
overloaded and damaged.
