Kia Soul. Exhaust system (GPF) warning light

This indicator light illuminates:

  • When there is a malfunction in the Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) system.
  • When this warning light illuminates, it may turn off after driving the vehicle:
    - Drive the vehicle for more than 30 minutes at a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) or faster.
    - Make sure all of the following conditions are met: safe road conditions, 3rd gear or higher, and engine speed between 1500 and 4000 rpm.

If this warning light flashes despite performing the procedure (a warning message will appear on the LCD display at this time), have the GPF system inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

CAUTION

Gasoline engine with GPF (if equipped)

If you continue driving with the GPF warning light flashing for a long time, the GPF system may be damaged and fuel economy may deteriorate.
