NOTE:
The DEF gauge may take up to five seconds to update after adding a gallon or
more of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to the DEF tank. If you have a fault related
to the DEF system, the gauge may not update to the new level. See your
authorized dealer for service.
The DEF gauge may also not immediately update after a refill if the temperature
of the DEF fluid is below 12F (-11C). The DEF line heater will possibly warm up
the DEF fluid and allow the gauge to update after a period of run time. Under
very cold conditions, it is possible that the gauge may not reflect the new fill
level for several drives.
3. Reinstall cap onto DEF tank.
Refer to your Diesel Supplement on the DVD for further details.
CAUTION!
To avoid DEF spillage, and possible damage to the DEF tank from overfilling, do
not “top off” the DEF tank after filling.
DO NOT OVERFILL. DEF will freeze below 12ºF (-11ºC). The DEF system is
designed to work in temperatures below the DEF freezing point, however, if the
tank is overfilled and freezes, the system could be damaged.
When DEF is spilled, clean the area immediately with water and use an
absorbent material to soak up the spills on the ground.
Do not attempt to start your engine if DEF is accidentally added to the diesel fuel
tank as it can result in severe damage to your engine, including but not limited
to failure of the fuel pump and injectors.
Never add anything other than DEF to the tank especially any form of
hydrocarbon such as diesel fuel, fuel system additives, gasoline, or any other
petroleum-based product. Even a very small amount of these (less than
100 parts per million or less than 1 oz. per 78 gallons) will contaminate the
entire DEF system and will require replacement. If owners use a container,
funnel or nozzle when refilling the tank, it should either be new or one that is has
only been used for adding DEF. MOPAR provides an attachable nozzle with its
DEF for this purpose.
