Maintenance and Specifications • Further vehicle operation without replacing contaminated DEF will cause the engine to enter an idle-only condition. This will only occur upon vehicle refueling, vehicle idling in park for 1 hour, or engine shutdown for 10 minutes or more and will be indicated by a message in the message center indicating required actions to resume normal operation. For either vehicle speed limiting or idle-only condition, normal vehicle operation will resume when the contaminated system is repaired. To service a contaminated or inoperative system, see your authorized dealer. DEF guidelines and information • Use only DEF that carries the trademark: American Petroleum Institute (API) certified DEF or ISO 22241. • Do not put DEF in the diesel fuel tank. • Do not overfill the DEF tank. • Do not re-use the DEF container once it is emptied. • Avoid spilling DEF on painted surfaces, carpeting or plastic components. Immediately wipe away any DEF that has spilled with a damp cloth and water. If it has already crystallized, use warm water and a sponge. • Store DEF out of direct sunlight and in temperatures between 23°F (-5°C) - 68°F (20°C). • DEF will freeze below 12°F (-11°C). • Do not store DEF bottle in vehicle. If it leaks it could cause damage to interior components or release an ammonia odor inside the vehicle. • DEF is non-flammable, non-toxic, colorless and water-soluble liquid. • Do not dilute DEF with water or any other liquid. • An ammonia odor may be smelled when the cap is removed or during refill.
