DPF (Diesel Particulate
Filter) Warning
Indicator
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
system removes the soot emitted
from the vehicle.
Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF
system automatically burns (oxi-
dizes) and removes the accumulated
soot while driving.
However, if the vehicle continues to
be driven in short distance repeated-
ly or at low speed for a long time, the
accumulated soot may not be auto-
matically removed because of low
exhaust gas temperature. In this par-
ticular case, if the amount of soot is
out of detection limit, the DPF warn-
ing indicator (
) will illuminate. In
order to start the DPF regeneration
and to stop the DPF warning lamp
illuminating, drive the vehicle in a
safety driving circumstance with
more than 60km/h (37 mph) vehicle
speed or with more than second
gear engaged and 1500 ~ 2000
engine rpm for a certain time (for
about 25 minutes).
If the DPF warning indicator(
)
continues to blink or "check emission
system" message comes on in the
cluster in spite of the above proce-
dure, we recommend that the system
be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
If you continue to drive with the indi-
cator light blinking for a long time, the
DPF system can be damaged and
fuel consumption can be worsen.
Urea Level Warning
lamp
The urea level warning lamp illumi-
nates, when the urea solution vol-
ume falls below 12% or less of the
tank. Without adding the urea solu-
tion, when the urea solution volume
drops to 6%, urea level warning lamp
will start blinking. When the urea
solution volume drops 4% or under,
both urea level warning lamp and
urea system warning lamp will simul-
taneously blink with limited torque.
When the urea volume falls below
1%, both lamps will stay blinking sta-
tus with limited vehicle speed.
When the urea level warning lamp
illuminates, the urea solution must
be added.
The urea level warning lamp will still
illuminate with the remaining driving
distance after replenishment, and
then the lamp will go out after sever-
al minutes driving or after several
minutes ignition on status.
