Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF)
Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) system removes soot in the exhaust gas and automatically burns (or oxidizes) the accumulated soot while driving at normal/high driving speeds.
If the vehicle is continually driven short distances or at low speeds for a long time, the accumulated soot may not be automatically removed because of low exhaust gas temperature and the GPF lamp (
The Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) lamp stops illuminating, when the driving speed exceeds 50 mph (80 km/h) with the engine RPM of 1,500-4,000 and the gear in the 3rd position or above for about 30 minutes.
When the GPF lamp starts to blink or the warning message, “Check exhaust system” pops up even though the vehicle was driven as mentioned above, contact an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded products.
If the GPF lamp blinks for an extended period of time, the GPF system may be damaged and the fuel economy may be lowered.
Only use regulated gasoline fuels, in vehicles equipped with the GPF system.
Other gasoline fuels that contain unspecified additives may damage the GPF system and cause emission problems.
