Once the engine is turned OFF, the DEF pump rotates (a noise can be heard, which is normal) in reverse direction for
approx. 30 sec and in turn sucks the DEF back into the tank. This prevents DEF sedimentation in the DEF hose and injectors.
This warning light will illuminate along with a dedicated message on the display (if equipped) if an
unknown fluid not conforming with acceptable characteristics is filled, or if an average consumption of
DEF over 50% is detected.
The first low-level warning will be given at around 2,400 km range and is determined according to the
current consumption rate.
The "DEF Low Level" warning light and message will display on the instrument panel. DEF low level
warning light will remain ON until the DEF tank is topped up with at least 5 Liters of DEF.
About 200 kms before the DEF tank is empty, a continuous dedicated message will appear on the
instrument panel, accompanied by a buzzer sound* (if equipped).
When the range is at 0 km, the display will show a dedicated message (if equipped). In this case, the
engine will not start.
Engine will start as soon as DEF is added; the minimum amount required is 5 Liters. Fill the DEF tank as
soon as possible with at least 5 Liters of DEF.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) also known as AdBlue®, is a non-toxic, colourless, odourless and non-flammable fluid
solution of urea and deionized water, that is injected into the exhaust stream of diesel vehicles to turn NOx gases
(harmful emissions) into nitrogen and water. This system is called a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR).
