What is a Diesel Particulate Filter?

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is an important part of your vehicle's exhaust and emissions system. Its primary function is to trap harmful diesel particulates, or soot, from the exhaust gas before it is released into the atmosphere. This helps reduce air pollution.

The DPF collects these soot particles over time and needs to be cleaned periodically through a process called regeneration.

For specific information about your vehicle's Diesel Particulate Filter, including how it operates, any requirements for proper function, and necessary precautions, please refer to your Owner's Manual.
