In conditions where this is not possible, the vehicles engine management systems alter timing causing it to run lean. We understand that in some vehicles the GPF filter is located further down the exhaust system than others.

I apologize in advance if this has been covered but I cannot find this exact set of warnings with search function. I am at 34, miles and had the oil changed yesterday afternoon. My son picked the truck up for me and on his way home the "drive to clean exhaust message" came on with the "check engine light" at the same time. I get home from work, re-check owners manual and no mention of the check engine light coming on with the drive to clean message.
