you don't need a blast , just cruising along at 50 mph for a while will trigger it ,
If there are no fault codes .. and as long as it still says SOOT FILTER FULL . If you neglect that message the next stage is when it says ENGINE SERVICE REQUIRED , then it needs a forced regeneration which should only be done when absolutely necessary , it is bad for the particle filter as it gets hotter than it does when on the move .. ignore that second message and you will need a new particle filter .
