11.22 Freezing
DEF will freeze around -11° C (12.2° F). The DEF system on the
vehicle is designed to accommodate this and does not require any
external intervention.
The Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system purges to prevent
damage from freezing. If your vehicle is equipped with battery
disconnect switches, do NOT disconnect battery power within
15 minutes of switching the ignition key off. Failure to comply
may result in vehicle or property damage.
Do NOT add any chemicals/additives to the Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF) in an effort to prevent freezing. If chemicals/
additives are added to the DEF, the after treatment system
may be damaged.
