I think with the V50 2.0D, the message you get is this:

The car may also appear to drive normally. If it does, that's good. Keep driving, don't switch off. After about 15-20minutes the light should then go out.
Best to be driving at a sustained medium speed, about 40-50mph in 5th (not 6th). This raises the exhaust temp and aids DPF regeneration.
If the light changes to red or starts flashing then it's too late. Not sure if it flashes on a V50 but it does in most other cars.
