age can occur. In order to correct this condition it will be
necessary to have your vehicle serviced by your local

Diesel Exhaust Fluid – Chassis Cab Only
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) sometimes known simply by
the name of its active component, UREA—is a key
component of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems,
which help diesel vehicles meet stringent emission regu-
lations. DEF is a liquid reducing agent that reacts with
engine exhaust in the presence of a catalyst to convert
smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless ni-
trogen and water vapor.

Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information.

You can receive assistance in locating DEF by calling
866-RAM-INFO (866-726-4636).
