What is the purpose of a particulate filter in Kia ProCeed?

I am considering buying a Kia ProCeed but I am not familiar with the function of a particulate filter. Can someone explain its purpose and any potential consequences of disabling it?

The particulate filter is an essential component in reducing harmful emissions from your vehicle. It captures soot and other particulates from the exhaust, preventing them from being released into the environment. Disabling it can result in higher levels of pollution and potential fines.

As someone who has owned a Kia ProCeed for several years, I highly advise against disabling the particulate filter. It not only protects the environment but also helps to maintain the performance and longevity of your engine.

In my experience, disabling the particulate filter can also lead to more frequent and costly maintenance as it puts extra strain on other components of the exhaust system. It's best to leave it as is.
