190 STARTING AND OPERATING
DEF is subject to freezing at the lowest
temperatures. For example, DEF may freeze at
temperatures at or below 12°F (-11°C). The
system has been designed to operate in this
environment.
NOTE:
When working with DEF, it is important to know
that:

Any containers or parts that come into
contact with DEF must be DEF compatible
(plastic or stainless steel). Copper, brass,
aluminum, iron or non-stainless steel should
be avoided as they are subject to corrosion
by DEF.

If DEF is spilled, it should be wiped up
completely.
Adding Diesel Exhaust Fluid
The DEF gauge (located on the instrument
cluster display) will display the level of DEF
remaining in the tank
Ú
page 111.
NOTE:
Driving conditions (altitude, vehicle speed, load,
etc.) will affect the amount of DEF that is used
in your vehicle.
DEF Fill Procedure
NOTE:
For the correct DEF fluid type see
Ú
page 438.
1. Remove cap from DEF fill inlet (located in
fuel door).
Fuel and Diesel Exhaust Fluid Fill Location
2. Insert DEF fill adapter/nozzle into DEF fill
inlet.
NOTE:

The DEF 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 an authorized dealer for service.

The DEF gauge may also not immediately
update after a refill if the temperature of the
DEF fluid is below 12°F (-11°C). The DEF
tank heater will possibly warm up the DEF
fluid and allow the gauge to update after a
period of run time. Under very cold condi -
tions, it is possible that the gauge may not
reflect the new fill level for several drives.

Excessive overfilling of the DEF tank can
result in a MIL lamp/fault code and inaccu -
rate level readings.
Refilling With Nozzles
You can fill up at any DEF distributor.
Proceed as follows:

Insert the DEF nozzle in the filler, start
refilling and stop refilling at the first
shut-off (the shut-off indicates that the
DEF tank is full). Do not proceed with the
refilling, to prevent spillage of DEF.

Extract the nozzle.
