3. Stop filling the DEF tank immediately when any of the
following happen: DEF stops flowing from the fill
bottle into the DEF tank, DEF splashes out the filler
neck, or a DEF pump nozzle automatically shuts off.
4. Reinstall cap onto DEF tank.
Filling The Def Tank In Cold Climates
Since DEF will begin to freeze at 12°F (-11°C), your
vehicle is equipped with an automatic DEF heating
system. This allows the DEF injection system to operate
properly at temperatures below 12°F (-11°C). If your
vehicle is not in operation for an extended period of time
with temperatures below 12°F (-11°C), the DEF in the
tank may freeze. If the tank is overfilled and freezes, it
could be damaged. Therefore, do not overfill the DEF
tank.
Extra care should be taken when filling with portable
containers to avoid overfilling. Note the level of the DEF
gauge in your instrument cluster. On pickup applica-
tions, you may safely add a maximum of 2 gallons of DEF
from portable containers when your DEF gauge is read-
ing ½ full. On Chassis Cab applications a maximum of
2 gallons may be added when the DEF gauge is reading
¾ full.
DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID
Your vehicle is equipped with a Selective Catalytic Re-
duction system to meet the very stringent diesel emis-
sions standards required by the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency.
