Importance of Maintaining the
Diesel Exhaust Fluid Level
In order for the selective catalytic reduction
system to operate correctly the diesel
exhaust fluid level must be maintained.
A message appears in the information
display when the diesel exhaust fluid level
is low and needs to be refilled. When you
see a warning message, refill the tank as
soon as possible. See
Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid
Tank
WARNINGS
Make sure that diesel exhaust fluid
does not come into contact with
eyes, skin or clothing. Should any
diesel exhaust fluid contact your eyes,
flush them with plenty of water and
contact a physician. Clean affected skin
with soap and water. If any diesel exhaust
fluid is swallowed, drink plenty of water
and contact a physician immediately.
Refill diesel exhaust fluid in a
well-ventilated area. When opening
the cap on the diesel exhaust fluid
tank or bottle containing diesel exhaust
fluid, ammonia vapors may escape. The
vapors can be irritating to skin, eyes and
mucous membranes. Inhaling ammonia
vapors can cause burning to the eyes,
throat and nose and cause coughing and
watery eyes.
