NOTE:

• The DEF gauge may take up to five seconds to

update after adding a gallon or more of Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to the DEF tank. If you have a
fault related to the DEF system, the gauge may not
update to the new level. See your authorized dealer
for service.

• The DEF gauge may also not immediately update

after a refill if the temperature of the DEF fluid is
below 12F (-11C). The DEF line heater will possibly
warm up the DEF fluid and allow the gauge to
update after a period of run time. Under very cold
conditions, it is possible that the gauge may not
reflect the new fill level for several drives.

CAUTION!

• To avoid DEF spillage, and possible damage to the

DEF tank from overfilling, do not “top off” the DEF
tank after filling.

• DO NOT OVERFILL. DEF will freeze below 12ºF

(-11ºC). The DEF system is designed to work in
temperatures below the DEF freezing point, how-
ever, if the tank is overfilled and freezes, the
system could be damaged.

• When DEF is spilled, clean the area immediately

with water and use an absorbent material to soak
up the spills on the ground.

• Do not attempt to start your engine if DEF is

accidentally added to the diesel fuel tank as it can
result in severe damage to your engine, including
but not limited to failure of the fuel pump and
injectors.
