Toyota CH-R: GPF (Gasoline Particulate Filter) system

The GPF system collects particulate matter in the exhaust gas by using an exhaust gas filter.

The system will operate to regenerate the filter automatically, depending on the vehicle conditions.

■If "Exhaust Filter Full See Owner's Manual" is shown on the multi-information display

• The message may be displayed while high load driving with particulate matter accumulating.
• Hybrid system output (engine speed) is restricted when a certain amount of particulate matter accumulates, however, it is possible to drive the vehicle unless the malfunction indicator lamp comes on.
• Particulate matter can accumulate more quickly if the vehicle is frequently driven short trips or at low speeds, or if the hybrid system is regularly started in an extremely cold environment. Excessive accumulation of particulate matter can be prevented by periodically driving long distances continuously with intermittent releasing of the accelerator pedal, such as when driving on highways and freeways.

■If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on or "Hybrid System Malfunction Output Power Reduced Visit Your Dealer" is shown on the multi-information display

The amount of accumulated particulate matter has exceeded a certain level.

Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.
