Manual
The Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) supply has dropped below
1.5 US gal (5.5 l).
After the message appears for the first time, and under
normal driving conditions, the remaining DEF supply will
last for approximately 1000 miles (1600 km).
After that, the 0.8 US gal (3.0 l) reserve mark range is
reached. A warning tone sequence sounds. The engine
can then only be started another 20 times.
E Top up the DEF supply (e page 155).
E After topping up, the system check takes approxi-
mately 20 seconds. The display message then disap-
pears.
If the ; yellow engine diagnostic indicator lamp lights
up in addition, the DEF reducing agent is contaminated, di-
luted or not compliant with ISO 22241.
After the first message and under normal operating condi-
tions, you can drive on for up to approximately 500 miles
(800 km). Then a warning tone sequence sounds and the
engine can only be started another 20 times.
E Have the DEF tank cleaned and refilled at an autho-
rized Sprinter Dealer as soon as possible.
