After the engine is stopped, DEF system devices automatically purge DEF in DEF injector and DEF pump and
return it to DEF tank to prevent malfunction of the devices caused by freezing of DEF or deposition of urea.
After the engine is stopped, the devices are operated for a few minutes. Before replacing the filter, clean around
the DEF pump first after DEF system devices stop.
