Why did the particle filter light come on in the Ford Kuga?
Years 2012-2019

Answer

In the Ford Kuga, the particle filter warning light indicates that it is clogged and that the automatic cleaning procedure is in progress. In this situation, we will not have to interrupt it by turning off the vehicle but we will have to leave the engine running until it is completed. If this does not happen, for example in the event of a serious blockage, we will have to carry out a manual cleaning of the filter in the workshop.
