What does the DPF warning light mean?

I noticed that the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) warning light has turned on in my Vauxhall Zafira Life. What does this mean and what should I do?

The DPF warning light usually means that the filter is becoming clogged with soot and needs to be cleaned or replaced. It's important to address this issue promptly as a clogged DPF can lead to further engine damage.

It's possible that the DPF warning light has come on due to a faulty sensor. I would recommend getting your vehicle checked by a mechanic to determine the exact cause and necessary steps to resolve the issue.

In some cases, driving at high speeds for a prolonged period of time can help to clear a clogged DPF. If the light turns off after a long highway trip, this may have been the cause.
