Diesel Exhaust Fluid Storage
• Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is considered a very stable product with a long shelf
life. If DEF is kept in temperatures between 10° to 90°F (-12° to 32°C), it will last
a minimum of one year.
• 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 in the instrument cluster) will display the level of DEF
remaining in the tank.
NOTE:
Driving conditions (altitude, vehicle speed, load, etc.) will effect the amount of DEF
that is used in your vehicle.
DEF Fill Procedure
• Remove cap from DEF tank (located on drivers side of the vehicle).
• Insert DEF container into DEF tank.
• Reinstall cap onto DEF tank.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the
DVD for further details.
CAUTION!
• To avoid DEF spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the DEF tank after filling.
• When DEF is spilled, clean the area immediately with water or a mild solvent.
