DEF must be stored in the original
container, in a cool, dry and
well-ventilated area. Observe the
manufacturer's storage and
handling recommendations.
To perform a DEF top up procedure:
Locate the DEF reservoir. See 215, FLUID
FILLER LOCATIONS. Remove the
reservoir filler cap by turning counter-
clockwise.
1. Place the refill bottle over the reservoir
filler cap aperture and turn clockwise,
until it is locked into position.
2. Press the base of the refill bottle, until
all of the fluid has completely drained
into the reservoir.
3. Turn the refill bottle counter-clockwise
and remove.
4. Repeat the procedure with the second
refill bottle.
5. Replace the reservoir filler cap and
continually turn clockwise until hand
tight.
Note: In extremely low temperatures
below -10°C, DEF may freeze in the
reservoir making refilling difficult. It is
recommended to take the vehicle into a
warmer environment, e.g., a garage, to
raise the ambient temperature, in order
to thaw the DEF, before attempting to top
up. In these conditions, it may take up to
1 hour of driving before the low DEF
message will extinguish.
Note: When starting and stopping the
engine, you may hear the DEF pumps
initiating and shutting down. This is normal
operation and no cause for concern.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Avoid running out of fuel.
If the vehicle does run out of fuel, a
minimum of 4 litres will be required to
restart the engine. See 192, FUEL FILLER
FLAP. The vehicle should be left with the
ignition on for 5 minutes after refuelling,
before attempting to restart the engine.
The vehicle will need to be driven for a
distance of 1.5 - 5 km, in order to reset
the engine management and monitoring
systems.
