If the warning light remains on, switch off the engine and allow to cool for several minutes. Check coolant levels. Be cautious as steam may exit the coolant tank if removing the cap. Top up with coolant if required (A), normal water can be used in emergencies.  |
 | Name: Jaguar F-PACE exhaust filter warning light. Colour: Red / Amber / Green Description: The exhaust filter, or diesel particulate filter (DPF) warning light illuminates for the following reasons: ▷ Red: The diesel exhaust filter warning light illuminates when the exhaust filter is full or there is a fault with the exhaust filter system. A message may appear on the instrument panel. ▷ Amber: The amber exhaust filter warning light illuminates when a previous cleaning attempt (regeneration) has failed and the filter is becoming full (saturated). ▷ Green: The green exhaust filter warning light illuminates when a successful regeneration has been completed. Jaguar F-PACE Diesel DPF cleaning Vehicles fitted with diesel particulate filters collect particles in the exhaust filter and have a more efficient emissions control. These filters become full (saturated) and require cleaning (regeneration). This is usually done automatically but depending on driving habits such as frequent short journeys, the system may require driver intervention. If the amber or red warning light illuminate, exhaust filter cleaning is required. Drive at a steady speed of 37 mph and 70 mph (60 km/h and 112 km/h) for between 10 to 20 minutes. This can be done at a slower speed but the process takes longer. Try to avoid stopping the vehicle as this may interrupt the cleaning process. The warning light will go out when cleaning is successful. If the red exhaust filter warning light remains on after cleaning, contact a Jaguar workshop immediately as damage to the emissions control system could result. Jaguar F-PACE petrol exhaust filter cleaning As with the diesel version of the F-PACE, the filter may require cleaning with driver support. This may be the result of repetitive cold starts or continuous full-load driving. To clean the filter, drive steadily below 50 mph (80 km/h) for up to 15 minutes to clean the filter. The warning light will go out when the cleaning process is complete. If the red warning light remains on, contact a Jaguar workshop urgently to avoid emissions control damage. |

For the conditions that may prevent auto stop from working, see Jaguar F-PACE stop start not working. |
You can also try cleaning the sensors in the front bumper. My ABS and other warning lights regularly come on when the car is dirty. Three times now I have just cleaned the sensors and the warning lights go out, all functionality restored. Much better than paying my Jaguar Dealership £199+VAT just to tell me what’s wrong and then a stupid price for a new ABS sensor I don’t need.
