The PPF traps soot particles from the exhaust. When enough has built up, the car cleans (regenerates) the filter automatically using a special strategy.
Green PPF indicator – the filter needs cleaning
When the green PPF indicator comes on, avoid long idling. When it's safe and legal, drive at 37 mph (60 km/h) or more until the indicator goes out.
Yellow PPF indicator – filter has reached its limit
If the yellow PPF indicator comes on, the filter is full to its limit. Contact an authorised Jaecoo service centre for inspection.
Everyday tips
- Avoid lots of very short journeys.
- Avoid long or frequent idling.
- Avoid driving for long periods (or often) at low engine speed with heavy throttle.
Warning:Don't stop or idle for a long time over dry leaves, grass or other flammable material. The exhaust is very hot while the engine runs and just after stopping, and could start a fire.
