30 In Brief
Diesel Exhaust Fluid
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is used
with diesel engines to reduce the
amount of regulated emissions
produced. The DEF system must be
maintained for the vehicle to run
properly.
DEF is not a fuel additive. For
refilling instructions, seeDiesel
Exhaust Fluid 0189. DEF should
not be mixed with or added to diesel
fuel. DEF freezes when exposed to
temperature below −11 °C (12 ° F).
Locating Diesel Exhaust Fluid
DEF can be purchased at a dealer.
It can also be purchased at
authorized vehicle and truck
dealerships. Additionally, some
diesel truck fueling stations or
retailers may have DEF for
purchase. See Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants 0378. When the remaining level of DEF
becomes excessively low the DEF
gauge will change color from green
to amber. In addition, warning and
indicator lights will come on and
engine power will be reduced so the
vehicle speed will not exceed
89 km/h (55 MPH). See
Diesel
Exhaust Fluid 0189.
