Continued driving without refilling resultsin the following actions as required by theCalifornia Air Resources Board (CARB) andthe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA):
•Within a preset distance to empty,speed is limited upon vehicle restart.Prior to this occurring a messageappears in the information display.
•Further vehicle operation withoutrefilling the diesel exhaust fluid tankcauses the engine to enter an idle-onlycondition. This only occurs upon vehiclerefueling or at an extended idle. Amessage indicates the required actionsto resume normal operation. It isrequired to add a minimum of 1.0 gal(3.8 L) of diesel exhaust fluid to thetank to exit the idle-only condition, butyour vehicle is still in the speed-limitingmode until you refill the tankcompletely.
Note:For either vehicle speed limiting oridle-only condition, normal vehicle operationresumes when you refill the diesel exhaustfluid tank.
Note:When filling the diesel exhaust fluidtank from empty, there may be a short delaybefore detecting the increased level of fluid.The increased level detection must occurbefore your vehicle returns to full power.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid Guidelinesand Information
•Use only diesel exhaust fluid thatcarries the American PetroleumInstitute (API) certified diesel exhaustfluid trademark or ISO 22241.
•Do not put diesel exhaust fluid in thediesel fuel tank.
•Do not overfill the diesel exhaust fluidtank.
•Diesel exhaust fluid is corrosive.
•Do not re-use the diesel exhaust fluidcontainer once it is emptied.
•Avoid spilling diesel exhaust fluid onpainted surfaces, carpeting or plasticcomponents. Immediately wipe awayany diesel exhaust fluid that has spilledwith a damp cloth and water. If it hasalready crystallized, use warm waterand a sponge.
•Store diesel exhaust fluid out of directsunlight and in temperatures between23°F (-5°C) and 68°F (20°C).
•Diesel exhaust fluid freezes below 12°F(-11°C).
•Do not store the diesel exhaust fluidbottle in your vehicle. If it leaks it couldcause damage to interior componentsor release an ammonia odor inside yourvehicle.
•Diesel exhaust fluid is non-flammable,non-toxic, colorless and water-solubleliquid.
•The system has a diesel exhaust fluidquality sensor. Dilution of dieselexhaust fluid or use of any other liquidin the SCR system leads to a dieselexhaust fluid system fault, eventuallyleading to the vehicle only operating inidle-only mode.
•Do not dilute diesel exhaust fluid withwater or any other liquid.
•An ammonia odor may be smelledwhen the cap is removed or duringrefill. Refill diesel exhaust fluid in a wellventilated area.
