Note:
Immediately wipe away any diesel
exhaust fluid that has spilled on painted
surfaces with water and a damp cloth to
prevent damage to the paint.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel
exhaust fluid tank with a blue-capped filler
port located next to the diesel fuel fill inlet.
The tank can be filled using a nozzle at a
diesel exhaust fluid filling station (similar
to fuel fill) or using a diesel exhaust fluid
bottle with a spout. We recommend
Motorcraft® diesel exhaust fluid bottles
since they are designed to be spill proof
and will stop the flow of diesel exhaust
fluid when the tank is full. You can use
other aftermarket bottles, but they should
have a seal on the spout and an internal
vent tube to achieve best fill performance
and prevent overfilling. Overfilling your
diesel exhaust fluid tank can cause
damage to the tank. For diesel exhaust
fluid capacity. See Technical
Specifications (page 56).
You can purchase diesel exhaust fluid at
your authorized dealer, most highway truck
stops or you can contact roadside
assistance for help in finding a retailer that
sells diesel exhaust fluid. See the Customer
Assistance chapter in the Owner ’s Manual
for more information. In addition, there is
a government website locator for diesel
exhaust fluid at the following web address
to find the nearest location to purchase
diesel exhaust fluid:
http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/
locator/def. Use only diesel exhaust fluid certified by
the American Petroleum Institute (API)
such as Motorcraft® diesel exhaust fluid
or equivalent meeting Ford specification
WSS-M99C130-A and/or ISO 22241. Look
for API certification trademark shown here.
Your vehicle
’s warranty will not cover
repairs resulting from the use of
non-certified diesel exhaust fluid products.
Maintaining the purity of diesel exhaust
fluid is important to avoid malfunctions in
the selective catalytic reduction system.
If you remove the diesel exhaust fluid for
tank repair, you cannot use the same fluid
to refill the tank. You can no longer
guarantee the purity of the diesel exhaust
fluid.
To fill the diesel exhaust fluid tank in cold
climates, see filling the diesel exhaust fluid
tank in cold climates later in this section
or see an authorized dealer.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid bottle fill with spout
The following procedure applies to
Motorcraft® diesel exhaust fluid or similar
diesel exhaust fluid bottles; for other
brands or bottle types, refer to the
instructions on the bottle label.
1. Remove the cap from the diesel exhaust fluid container. Remove the
spout from the bottle and insert the
straw end into the bottle. Ensure you
align the arrow above the nut with the
bottle handle and the small tube end
extends into the far corner of the
bottle. Twist the spout nut on the
container until it is tight.
