3. Stop filling the DEF tank immediately when any of the

following happen: DEF stops flowing from the fill

bottle into the DEF tank, DEF splashes out the filler

neck, or a DEF pump nozzle automatically shuts off.

4. Reinstall cap onto DEF tank.
Filling The Def Tank In Cold Climates

Since DEF will begin to freeze at 12°F (-11°C), your

vehicle is equipped with an automatic DEF heating

system. This allows the DEF injection system to operate

properly at temperatures below 12°F (-11°C). If your

vehicle is not in operation for an extended period of time

with temperatures below 12°F (-11°C), the DEF in the

tank may freeze. If the tank is overfilled and freezes, it

could be damaged. Therefore, do not overfill the DEF

tank.

Extra care should be taken when filling with portable

containers to avoid overfilling. Note the level of the DEF

gauge in your instrument cluster. On pickup applica-

tions, you may safely add a maximum of 2 gallons of DEF

from portable containers when your DEF gauge is read-

ing ½ full.
