24. DEF Gauge

The DEF Gauge displays the actual level of Diesel

Exhaust Fluid in the DEF tank. Diesel Exhaust Fluid

(DEF) is required to maintain normal vehicle operation

and emissions compliance. More information is available

in the Electronic Vehicle Information (EVIC) or Driver

Information Display (DID) section under the heading of

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Warning Messages.

NOTE:

• The 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.
