DPF warning light with loss of power. The 1.5 dCi engine in the Qashqai J11 generates relatively low exhaust temperatures, making passive DPF regeneration difficult in urban use. Many owners report the DPF warning appearing within 30,000-40,000 km of purchase when the vehicle is used predominantly in town. A minimum of 30 minutes motorway driving per week helps maintain DPF cleanliness.
