Fuel and Refueling 6. Remove the spout from the diesel exhaust fluid container and replace the cap. Note: If there is diesel exhaust fluid left in the container retain it for later use. The spout is re-useable. Wash the spout with clean water prior to storage. Do not use the diesel exhaust fluid spout with any other fluid. Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank in Cold Climates Diesel exhaust fluid may freeze if the ambient temperature is below 12°F (-11°C). Your vehicle has a preheating system which allows diesel exhaust fluid to operate below 12°F (-11°C). If you do not use your vehicle for an extended period when the ambient temperature is below 12°F (-11°C), the fluid in the tank may freeze. If the tank is overfilled and the fluid freezes it may damage the tank. This is not covered by the vehicle warranty. Note: If the vehicle speed becomes limited or the engine will only run at idle speed, normal vehicle operation will not resume until you have the system repaired. To service a contaminated or inoperative system, see an authorized dealer. Note: You must add a minimum of 3.2 qt (3 L) for your vehicle to exit the run at idle speed mode. Diesel Exhaust Fluid Guidelines Do not put diesel exhaust fluid in the vehicle fuel tank. Do not overfill the diesel exhaust fluid tank. Do not dilute diesel exhaust fluid with water or any other liquid. Do not re-use a diesel exhaust fluid container. Do not store in direct sunlight. Store at temperatures between 23°F (-5°C) and 68°F (20°C). Do not store a diesel exhaust fluid container in your vehicle. Diesel exhaust fluid is non-flammable, non-toxic, colorless and water-soluble. Contaminated Diesel Exhaust Fluid or Inoperative Selective Catalytic Reduction System If the system becomes contaminated or inoperative, the E163176 diesel exhaust fluid warning lamp will illuminate and a message will appear in the information display. Continued driving without replacing the fluid or not having the system repaired will result in: • Vehicle speed being limited. 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 run at idle speed. Approximate Diesel Exhaust Fluid Usage The chart below illustrates the approximate diesel exhaust fluid usage for the given distances traveled under various driving conditions. Usage may vary depending on: • Driving style. • Towing a trailer. • Vehicle load. • Engine idling time. 117 Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 03/2014, Third Printing
