CAUTION
Do not let the DEF tank become empty. If the
tank becomes empty, the vehicle’s operation is
automatically restricted, so you can drive only
at low speeds.
We recommend carrying DEF in a portable con-
tainer on your vehicle in case the DEF tank
becomes empty.
1 DEF level indicator
•
The DEF level indicator lamp shows the level
of the DEF in the DEF tank.
F (all 4 segments are lit): Full
E (only 1 segment is lit): Replenishment required
• When the tank is full of DEF, all 4 segments of
the DEF level indicator are lit. As the DEF level
drops, the segments go out one by one.
• If only the E segment of the DEF level indicator
is lit, the quantity of DEF has fallen to an unsafe
level. You should then replenish the tank with
DEF. P. 1-9
2 If the tank is short of DEF
•
If DEF has fallen to an unsafe level, a warning is
issued and the engine power is controlled as fol-
lows:
• (amber) is shown.
• The E segment of the DEF level indicator,
which has been lit, starts flashing slowly (at
0.5-second intervals).
• The DEF level warning lamp comes on.
• The engine power is automatically reduced
in stages.
If the above condition happens, the DEF tank must
be refilled as soon as possible. P. 1-9
