1-10 Recommendation to drivers
CAUTION
Do not rest your foot on the DEF tank or step on
it, because this may damage the tank and/or the
sensors on it.
NOTE:
• Replenish the DEF well before it is used up.
• It is recommended that you obtain portable DEF
for use in the event that the DEF tank becomes
empty.
• You can obtain DEF at any of the following
places:
• Authorized dealer
• Authorized Parts and Service Center (PSC)
• Old World Industries distributor
• Exxon Mobil service station
1. Turn the starter switch to the “LOCK” position to
stop the engine.
2. Wipe away dirt, mud, or other contamination in
the vicinity of the replenishment port.
3. Turn the cap counterclockwise and remove it.
4. While observing the level gauge , replenish
the DEF to the FULL line on the tank.
CAUTION
• Do not use a steel container to hold DEF.
DEF reacts with steel and produces a corro-
sive material. If the tank is refilled with DEF
containing this corrosive material, the
BlueTec
®
exhaust gas aftertreatment will be
damaged.
• Containers and appliances used to handle
DEF must not have been used for other pur-
poses. Impurities that may remain in them
could adversely affect the quality of DEF and
prevent the engine from starting.
5. Install the cap securely by turning it clockwise.
NOTE:
If you spill the DEF during replenishment, wipe it
away with a cloth, or the like, and then wash the
area with water.
6. If the DEF tank becomes empty, a driving
restriction automatically engages, locking the
gear in first or reverse, so the vehicle can be
driven only slowly.
DEF tank capacity 12 liters (3 gallon)
