Fuel and Refueling SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION SYSTEM WARNINGS You must refill the diesel exhaust fluid tank when it is low. If it is not refilled, vehicle speed will be limited to 50 mph (80 km/h). Drive with caution and refill the fluid tank as soon as possible. If the diesel exhaust fluid becomes contaminated your vehicle will be limited to idle speed operation. Replace the fluid immediately. Tampering with or disabling the selective catalytic reduction system will result in severe vehicle performance limitation. Vehicle speed will be limited to 6 mph (10 km/h). Your vehicle has a selective catalytic reduction system to help reduce exhaust emission levels by injecting diesel exhaust fluid into the exhaust system. Continued driving without refilling the fluid will result in: • Vehicle speed being limited. Prior to this occurring a message will appear in the information display. • Further vehicle operation without refilling the diesel exhaust fluid will cause the engine to run at idle speed. Note: You must add a minimum of 3.2 qt (3 L) for your vehicle to exit the run at idle speed mode. Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank WARNINGS Do not allow diesel exhaust fluid to come into contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Should the fluid come into contact with eyes, flush them with plenty of water and contact a physician. Clean affected skin with soap and water. If swallowed, drink plenty of water and contact a physician immediately. Refill the diesel exhaust fluid tank in a well-ventilated area. When removing the tank cap or a diesel exhaust fluid container cap, ammonia vapor may escape. Ammonia vapor is an irritant to the eyes, skin and mucous membranes. Inhaling ammonia vapor can cause burning to the eyes, throat and nose resulting in watering eyes or severe coughing. Do not put diesel exhaust fluid in the fuel tank. This can cause engine damage not covered by the vehicle warranty. Diesel Exhaust Fluid Level For the system to operate correctly, you must maintain the diesel exhaust fluid level. A warning lamp will illuminate when the diesel exhaust fluid E163176 level is low and needs to be refilled. See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page 74). The warning lamp will illuminate approximately 500 mi (800 km) before the diesel exhaust fluid tank is empty. Refill the tank as soon as possible. Note: If the warning lamp illuminates when your vehicle is moving, and the diesel exhaust fluid is at a sufficient level, this indicates a system malfunction. Have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. 115 Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 03/2014, Third Printing
