Why did the particulate filter warning light come on in the Nissan Qashqai?
Years 2014-2022

Answer

The particle filter warning light in the Nissan Qashqai is represented by a cylinder filled with small pellets. This warning light, when turned on yellow, indicates that the DPF is clogged and the system will autonomously clean it, a procedure that must not be interrupted by switching off the engine. If, on the other hand, the warning light is on red, the clogging is serious and overheating could be in progress. In this case, it is necessary to intervene manually by qualified personnel.
