DEF FILL PROCEDURE
NOTE:
For the correct fluid type page 338.
Remove cap from DEF tank (located on drivers side of
the vehicle or in fuel door).
NOTE:
•
The DEF gauge may take up to five seconds to
update after adding a gallon or more of DEF to the
DEF tank. If you have a fault related to the DEF sys-
tem, 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 39°F (4°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
conditions, it is possible that the gauge may not
reflect the new fill level for several drives.
•
At 40°F (4°C) you could see some increase in the
DEF gauge due to the tank thawing. The gauge and
level sensor are working properly and are just updat-
ing with proper thawed DEF.
•
Excessive overfilling of the DEF tank can result in a
MIL lamp/fault code and inaccurate level readings.
Refilling With Nozzles
You can fill up at any DEF distributor.
Proceed as follows:
•
Insert the DEF nozzle in the filler tube, 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.
Refilling With Containers
Proceed as follows:
•
Check the expiration date.
•
Read the advice for use on the label before pouring
the content of the bottle into the DEF tank.
•
After the indication appears on the instrument clus-
ter display
page 78 fill the DEF tank with no
more than 6 gal (22 L).
CAUTION!
•
To avoid DEF spillage, and possible damage to the
DEF tank from overfilling, do not “top off” the DEF
tank after filling.
•
DO NOT OVERFILL. DEF will freeze below 12ºF
(-11ºC). The DEF system is designed to work in
temperatures below the DEF freezing point, how-
ever, if the tank is overfilled and freezes, the sys-
tem could be damaged.
•
When DEF is spilled, clean the area immediately
with water and use an absorbent material to soak
up the spills on the ground.
•
Do not attempt to start your engine if DEF is acci-
dentally added to the diesel fuel tank as it can
result in severe damage to your engine, including
but not limited to failure of the fuel pump and
injectors.
•
Never add anything other than DEF to the tank –
especially any form of hydrocarbon such as diesel
fuel, fuel system additives, gasoline, or any other
petroleum-based product. Even a very small
amount of these, less than 100 parts per million or
less than 1 oz. per 78 gal (295 L) will contaminate
the entire DEF system and will require replace-
ment. If owners use a container, funnel or nozzle
when refilling the tank, it should either be new or
one that has only been used for adding DEF.
Mopar® provides an attachable nozzle with its DEF
for this purpose.
Stop filling the DEF tank immediately if DEF splashes or
wells back in the filler neck.
Reinstall cap onto DEF filler tube.
