Fuel and Refueling Continued driving without replacing diesel exhaust fluid or having the selective catalytic reduction system repaired will result in the following actions as required by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): • Within a certain number of miles (kilometers) to empty, speed will be limited upon restart. Prior to this occurring a message will appear in the information display. Further vehicle operation without replacing contaminated diesel exhaust fluid 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 information display indicating required actions to resume normal operation. • • Do not re-use the diesel exhaust fluid container once it is emptied. Avoid spilling diesel exhaust fluid on painted surfaces, carpeting or plastic components. Immediately wipe away any diesel exhaust fluid that has spilled with a damp cloth and water. If it has already crystallized, use warm water and a sponge. Store diesel exhaust fluid out of direct sunlight and in temperatures between 23°F (-5°C) - 68°F (20°C). Diesel exhaust fluid will freeze below 12°F (-11°C). Do not store the diesel exhaust fluid bottle in your vehicle. If it leaks it could cause damage to interior components or release an ammonia odor inside your vehicle. Diesel exhaust fluid is non-flammable, non-toxic, colorless and water-soluble liquid. Do not dilute diesel exhaust fluid with water or any other liquid. An ammonia odor may be smelled when the cap is removed or during refill. Refill diesel exhaust fluid in a well ventilated area. • • • • • For either vehicle speed limiting or idle-only condition, normal vehicle operation will resume when you repair the contaminated system. To service a contaminated or inoperative system, see an authorized dealer.
