Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is
corrosive. Do not allow it to come
in contact with your skin, eyes,
or the finished surfaces of the
vehicle. If exposed, it may cause

and eye protection when
handling. Inhalation may cause
irritation to the upper respiratory
tract. Store in a cool, well
‐
ventilated area. For more safety
information, see the label of the
Diesel Exhaust Fluid container.
DEF is used with diesel engines to
reduce the amount of regulated
emissions produced. The fluid level

for the vehicle to run correctly. The
capacity of the DEF tank is 20.1 L

DEF can be purchased at a
Chevrolet or GMC dealer. It can
also be purchased at authorized
vehicle and truck dealerships.
Additionally, some diesel truck
fueling stations or retailers may
have DEF for purchase. For
vehicles with an active OnStar
subscription, OnStar can help to
locate a DEF retailer. For more
information on locating DEF see
