Yes—the GWM Cannon X’s diesel particulate filter self-cleans via automatic regeneration when exhaust temps get hot enough.
Lots of short, stop–start trips can interrupt the process, so a DPF light/message means it wants a proper run.
Give it a steady highway stint at 60 km/h or more for 20–30 minutes to complete the burn; idling in the driveway won’t help.
If the warning persists or power drops, book a dealer for a forced regen and software checks, and use the correct low-ash oil with decent diesel.
Treat it to regular long drives and the system will quietly mind itself—no soot sulks, no workshop melodrama.
