What is the DPF warning light in Mazda CX 3 models and how do I turn it off?

Model: Mazda Cx 3 MK 1 - Years 2015-2023
Part: Warning light – error code

The DPF warning light refers to the diesel particulate filter, whose task is to collect and remove most of the particulate matter present in the exhaust gases of diesel engines. When this light comes on, it means it is time to perform a regeneration of the filter because the vehicle is unable to do it automatically. To carry out this regeneration, you must keep the engine warm and accelerate the vehicle, staying stationary at a speed of 20km/h for about 15-20 minutes, in order to eliminate the residues. By doing this, the warning light will turn off on its own. We recommend performing this maneuver while stationary to avoid accidents.
