CAUTION!

• To avoid DEF spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the DEF tank after filling.
• When DEF is spilled, clean the area immediately with water or a mild solvent.
• DO NOT OVERFILL. DEF will freeze below 12 degrees F (-11 degrees C). 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.

• First low level warning will be given at around 500 miles, which is determined by

with chimes will be there on dashboard.

• When count down is over (0 mile left), continuous message "Speed limited at

refuel or next engine start" is shown on EVIC. In this case if an engine restart or a
diesel refuel action in engine-on condition is performed, vehicle’s speed will be
limited to 5 mph and continuous message "Speed limited DEF low" is shown on
EVIC.
