Cayenne V8d 2016 ad-blue model.

Just had the above warning on dashboard. I imagine it's down to my driving style has changed from doing 20+ mile trips to approx 5miles. Apart from needing to drive it for longer every now and again, is there anything I can do if it damages the DPF. Speaking to Porsche they say it's not covered under the Porsche extended warranty. I don't recall the salesman saying it's not suitable for regular short journeys.

Can’t remember what the exact message was but I had similar with mine about a month ago after having done a few short trips etc over lockdown. Took it out for an hour of motorway mileage and it cleared.
