Petrol Particulate Filter (PPF)

Keeping the exhaust filter clean
Official manufacturer dataApplies to: PetrolSource: Petrol handbook p131

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
