Refilling With Nozzles
You can fill up at any Diesel Exhaust Fluid
(DEF) distributor.
Proceed as follows:
Ÿ Insert the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
nozzle in the filler, start refilling and stop
refilling at the first shut-off (the shut-off
indicates that the Diesel Exhaust Fluid
(DEF) tank is full). Do not proceed with
the refilling, to prevent spillage of Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF).
Ÿ Extract the nozzle.
Refilling With Containers
Proceed as follows:
Ÿ Check the expiration date.
Ÿ Read the advice for use on the label before
pouring the content of the bottle into the
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank.
Ÿ If systems which cannot be screwed in (e.g.
tanks) are used for refilling, after the
indication appears on the instrument panel
display refer to "Warning lights And
Messages" in the "Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel" for further information,
fill the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank
with no more than 8 liters.
Ÿ If containers which can be screwed to the
filler are used, the reservoir is full when
the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) level in the
container stops pouring out. Do not
proceed further.
Operations After Refilling
Proceed as follows:
Ÿ Fit the cap back on the Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF) filler by turning it clockwise
and screwing it completely.
Ÿ Place the ignition to ON POSITION (it is
not necessary to start the engine).
Ÿ Wait for the indication on the instrument
panel to switch off before moving the car.
The indication may stay on for a few
seconds to approximately half a minute. If
the engine is started and the car is moved,
the indication will remain on for longer.
This will not compromise engine
operation.
Ÿ If the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) was
topped up when the tank was empty, wait
for few minutes, until the warning light
goes OFF and then start the engine.
Never fill or Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
diesel fuel into the wrong filling ports. This
may result serious damage to Engine, Fuel
system and Emission system components. In
case of wrongly filled do not start the engine,
contact an authorized dealer.
Caution
At Each Stop for Fuel
Check the engine oil level about five minutes
after a fully warmed engine is shut off.
Checking the oil level while the vehicle is on
level ground will impose the accuracy of the
oil level reading.
Ÿ Check the windshield washer solvent
and add if required.
Ÿ Check and top-up Diesel Exhaust Fluid
(DEF) if required as indicated by the
Warning Light and/or message on the
instrument cluster.
Note
Ÿ Open the fuel door, remove the Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) filler cap.
It is recommended to visit the MG
Authorised workshop for refill / top up.

VEHICLE SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
Ÿ If Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is spilled out
of the filler neck, clean up the area well and
proceed to filling up again. If the liquid
crystallizes, eliminate it with a sponge and
warm water.
Ÿ DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL: this could cause damage to the
reservoir. Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
freezes at under 12° F (-11° C). Although
the system is designed to operate below
the freezing point of the Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF), it is advisable not to fill the
tank beyond the maximum level because if
the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) freezes the
system can be damaged. Follow the
instructions in this section.
Ÿ If the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is spilled
on painted surfaces or aluminium,
immediately clean the area with water and
use absorbent material to collect the fluid
that has been spilled on the ground.
Ÿ Do not try to start the engine if Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) was accidentally
added to the diesel fuel tank, this can result
in serious engine damage, contact an
authorized dealer.
Ÿ Do not add additives or other fluids to
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), doing so could
damage the system.
Ÿ The use of non-conforming or degraded
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) may lead to
indications appearing on the instrument
panel display refer to "Warning Lights And
Messages" in the "Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel" for further information.
Ÿ Never pour Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
into another container; it could be
contaminated.
Ÿ If the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) runs out,
see refer to "Warning Lights And
Messages" in the "Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel" for further information
to continue using the car normally.
Once the engine is turned off, the Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) pump rotates (a noise
can be heard, which is normal) in reverse
direction for approx 30 sec and in turn sucks
the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) back into the
tank. This prevents Diesel Exhaust Fluid
(DEF) sedimentation in the Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF) hose and injectors.
